ShaktiMat Acupressure Mat for Relaxation, Level 1, 8,000 Signature Spikes That Massage Muscles, Aid Sleep & Unlock Inner Tension | Similar to Acupuncture, No Needles Required

Im a great believer in acupuncture and massage so decided to give this acupressure mat a go. I wanted to be able to have something at home and also to get a good one so decided to go for a Shakti after doing my research. I love their ethos and I started in the level one, the first step for beginners. At first it can be quite painful. I couldn’t cope with the pain during my first try so I wore a thin layer of clothing, gradually reducing it until I could manage the discomfort. It was uncomfortable initially but the feeling after using it is worth it! It eases tension and pain by encourages blood flow to the area. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and so far it has definitely improved my sleep. Im all for alternative wellness wherever possible and now use it in my daily routine before bedtime. The mat comes with instructions and if you download their app it gives you short videos on how to get the best out of your mat and a great product guarantee! I’d definitely give it a go if you want to try alternative therapy.

Fantastic item!Takes some getting used to when you first try it, as the needles are quite sharp.I use this every night and its super great for relieving muscle tension and helping relax.

Excellent product. Really does the job.

These are just magic. After acclimating to the spikes you’ll find that your body just loves it amd needs it.

Should come with a health warning that going from level 1 to level 3 will initially feel like a form of medieval torture. I’ve used a level 1 Shakti Mat for a while and got to the point where it felt weirdly comfortable and even the dog didn’t mind it! So, saw the level 3 mat and thought let’s cut the middle mat out and just go all in, how much more ‘spiky’ could it be!So to clarify, the first time I used the level 3, I couldn’t see for 5 minutes due to my eyes streaming, and not could I talk due to my clenched teeth. The accompanying burning sensation felt like someone had applied copious amounts of tiger balm and deepheat then dried it with a blowtorch.But, after 5 minutes of seeing ‘Jesus’, that sensation subsides and the relaxing feeling is amazing and my quality of sleep has improved since using it. Much like eating hot curries the I tail pain is felt twice, once when you get on and secondly when you try to peel yourself off it, other than that, amazing product, worth the extra money and supper relaxing once you get used to it. 😀

Was a bit sceptical about paying the price for the original mat, but now find i fall a sleep for over 45mins totally relaxed and feeling the pressure points being treated. I suffer with lower back pain and muscle ache in neck and shoulder, i find this helps with treating the issues. It will take time for me to fully recover I hope, but using alternative treatment does help.

This is a great mat even for a novice like me. Takes a bit of time but soon gets easier.

Can only assume the people that lay on this thing with no clothing on are basically just dead inside. There's nothing relaxing or therapeutic about it. It looks like you're going to lay on a mat covered in the plastic equivalent of drawing pins and unsurprisingly, that's exactly what it feels like. I did not lay on it, suddenly become incredibly relaxed and fall asleep only to wake up half an hour later like some are claiming to do. I had a t-shirt on, laid on it for all of about ten seconds before swearing at it, rolling it back up and sticking it in the cupboard where it's remained ever since. I'll stick to massages instead.
