ShaktiMat Acupressure Mat for Tension Release, Premium Level 1 Black | Relax Muscles, Unlock Inner Tension & Rediscover Deep Sleep, Similar to Acupuncture, Made with Organic Cotton & ABS Spikes

Amazing! My whole life I have had horrible knots and rock hard bands of tension in my neck and shoulders - the only thing that has given extensive relief (outside of temporary use of narcotics) is trigger-point therapy. For those unfamiliar, the therapist stabs inside of the muscle knots (trigger points) well under the skin, with thin needles. This is *NOT* the same thing as acupuncture, which barely pierces the skin and does nothing for me. My insurance coverage has run out for these trigger sessions, and this is the next best thing.I jumped straight to level 3, since I'm used to intense pain during my sessions, and it was perfect. Most should start out at level 1 or at least 2, as it will hurt more than you may realize. It's worth it though.The mat is high quality, and feels sturdy.

This thing is sharppppp, if you're not used to shakti mats start at the lower level. Very good quality, very sharp spikes.

I love this thing. I use it every night before bed. I have anxiety and racing thoughts and this truly helps quiet my mind. I highly recommend it.

Spikes on this mat are the real deal. Do not get the level three if you're new. But if you've been using a spiked mat for a while this is where it's at. Very happy that I went with a model that was not basic and I spent the extra money on this brand. Would buy again highly recommended. Again the level three should only be used by people who have been using spiky mats otherwise you'll hate it.

As expected. Good quality. Tolerable to lay on. Haven’t used consistently enough to reap benefits yet.

Use this every night before bed and now I’m getting the best sleep I’ve ever gotten

Helping with sleep

レベル3と斗ふ私…寝転んだ最初の1〜3分までは、痛みを感じますが、徐々に痛みが体に馴染んでいきます。使用後の“解放”を味わいましょう。

レベル1を買いましたがかなり痛いですただ乘ってると不思議と痛みが無くなり気持ちよさに風呂上りやトレーニング、シャワー後に使用しリフレッシュしてます

*if healing was easy... everyone would do it.**This matt is absolutely amazing. You do need to get threw the uncomfortable part for it to feel really good, but once you do, you'll wish you got it sooner. I lay on my belly back I rest my forehead, cheeks ect it feels like a sun burn after using but that's truly how you know its working. If anyone is self helping themselves healing childhood trauma or everyday stress, this matt will be your best friend. 100/10 recommend.Great price for something you can use whenever you want , that actually relaxes and quiets the brain, clears the fog and circulates the blood. Love love love this set up!

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.
