Manifesto
Pain is not a weakness, pain is temporary and pain is growth.
Every ache is a shrill reminder that you are not super-human, yet your determination suggests otherwise. We believe that determination can overcome pain, both mental and physical. But to do that, we need to be good to ourselves. Our body may be a temple, but what is in our mind is indispensable; this is what we live by.
Aku is not created from a fad, but from 5,000 years of science and caring innovation, leaving no minute detail unturned. We are the mental and physical health advocates, bringing acupressure into the everyday vernacular so that we can make it accessible for everyone.
So that we can make ‘super-human’ accessible for everyone.

It all started in Ukraine
The benefts of acupressure have long stood the test of time. However, access to treatment has remained expensive and unpractical. Everybody wants to get rid of their lower back pain, but not everybody is able to pay for expensive treatment and dedicate the time necessary for consistent therapy.
Aku set out to solve this problem, which led them all the way to Ukraine’s most infuential acupuncturist and sports therapist: Dr. Nikolay Lyapko.
Aku teamed up with Dr. Lyapko to bring the frst authentic eastern acupressure mat to North America. By authentic, we mean metal.
The result is sleek and portable acupressure tools designed for multi-functional everyday use, using the same technology that has helped millions of people worldwide to heal their bodies.
Today
Aku is the exclusive supplier of metal acupressure products in North America. We’re the leaders in acupressure therapy offering highly effective products unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before.
We are working with professional athletes seeking optimal performance, ambitious parents looking to keep active longer, and people with significant muscular injuries needing self-rehabilitation.
However, everyone is different and there is no label or limit for who can benefit from acupressure therapy. Aku products innately help everyone improve circluation, increase energy levels, reduce stress and anxiety, and relax tense muscles.
Therefore, we are also working with everyday people who value the protection, preservation, and optimization of their bodies.
