Years ago…I met someone that changed my life… he worked with Marma Therapy and an accupressure mat, I had just had a horrible accident and was having difficulty healing my torn hamstring. I was explained that I needed to get the blood flowing in that area….and voila.. I was introduced to my first acupressure mat. I used it to put pressure on the area and get the circulation moving. I then discovered how wonderful I felt by simply walking on it every morning for a few minutes. I remember distinctly breaking out in a a sweat the first time I walked for about three minutes…I felt activated and alive my injury healed very soon after.
Years later on my trip to Maui, we had rented a house from a friend of ours, she had the Spoonk mat, I remembered my old mat that I eventually lost on my travels. When looking into the company I found that this was the new and improved version….made from hemp and ABS plastic….
this was right up my alley. I had to contact with the company right away. Well what can I say…we hit it off!!! Not only do they have mat in all sizes….they also carry A magnetic roller that just feels amazing when you roll it down your back! Use it before yoga or before throwing on a pair of heels!
I have recently started using it also for better sleep by lying on it before going to bed...which is imperative at this point of my life...being a new mother and all. What I most love is what I mentioned earlier...to lightly tread on the Mat first thing in the morning. I can feel it activating every part of me. When you first start out you may want to wear light socks.
Update: I have been using the mat for over a year now, and honestly I love it so much, even if I feel a headache coming on, I roll it up and place it under my neck, and the headache just goes away! I truly recommend this product!

I am currently using them at the beginning of the Yoga practice and it really centers me and the students are liking it very much. Good item absolutely!
Sanny introduced me to this mat a couple of weeks ago. I’ve seen them before but never thought much about whether they might be useful or not. Surgery to my feet fifteen years ago left me with some numbness in some areas- standing on the mat in my bare feet reactivated sensations that I haven’t felt in years! I think with regular use, I might fully recuperate the sensations in my feet I thought I had lost from the surgery.
My work in Physiotherapy means I come into contact with patients with forms of neuropathy from surgeries or from the effects of stroke. I would be stoked to see how this might benefit some of my patients. Exciting product, and eco friendly too.
