ShaktiMat Premium Acupressure Mat, Level 2 Intensity in Shakti Black, Massage Muscles, Aid Sleep & Unlock Inner Tension | Similar to Acupuncture, No Needles Required

I am loving this mat so far. I got the second level and use it bare skin, I am glad this was the level I chose. Any bit more painful and I’d need a shirt, any bit less and it wouldn’t be as impactful. For reference, I have a fairly high pain tolerance, so if you are not certain or don’t have as high tolerance, start at the lowest or you may not be able to use bare skin. As for the effect, it takes a few minutes for it to work and it does hurt for perhaps the first 2-3 minutes. After that, your muscles relax and it is a comfortable warming sensation. It alleviates all the tension in my back while relaxing my whole body. To help target areas, I switch using and not with a pillow for my head amd a chair for my feet. With the chair, it targets my lower mid back, and without, my lower back. The pillow is the same with my upper back You can pretty much lift and lower with your head and legs to hit your whole back. It’s incredibly versatile and effective. My routine is 20 minute sessions, altering my position on 5 minute intervals, and I feel completely relaxed with a pain free back once I’m done. It’s absolutely wonderful.

The first time I laid on this, I timed to see how long (if at all) until I got some good feelings, and after 4 minutes my body felt euphoria that, while not as strong, was in the same category as post-surgery narcotics. I was blown away at the result. Unfortunately, no other time has felt the same, although I still really enjoy it and have laid on it every day since I got it. Someone in the reviews mentioned that they feel the same relief as they do from a massage. I have not experienced the same thing, and I love a deep tissue massage. However, it is extremely effective at putting me to sleep (knocks me out in 20 minutes or less) and I hope to see long-term benefits. The quality is outstanding, truly top notch and feels very luxury. I also think it's really effective at relieving anxiety because it gives your mind a very strong physical sensation to focus on. I highly recommend this modern day bed of nails!

This helps relieve back pain, and loosens up my back quite nicely. I started on Level 2, which is not as intense as they say. Wish I had gone straight to level 3, but it still works well.

Love hate relationship - wow this is definitely an experience. Took about 10 to 15 seconds of major discomfort and then a beautiful calm in the entire body and mind. Amazing feeling after the pain goes. After getting up, my entire body had a buzzy calm energy. Hard to describe but highly recommend!

Feels good after use but how do you clean with out damaging

I love this mat! It took a bit of getting used to, but now I look forward to using it. Great addition post workout too.

I purchased this Shakti mat, pillow, and headband after being swayed by the hype of so many 5-Star reviews. But having now used it three times, I don't intend to use it again. Why? Because while the claimed health benefits are uncertain, what is certain is the discomfort. They claim you get used to the pain of laying on it. I found the opposite to be true. The more sessions that I laid on it, the less I could tolerate it. Otherwise, if you are determined to stick with it, my impression is that this is the best brand name.

First impression: I thought, “Oh darling… I am going to die.” But no, it turns out this mat is just very committed to personal growth. My neck and shoulders were harder than a rock, so I got creative: pillow, mat on top, lean like a cat—and honey… it hurt. But the kind of hurt that whispers, “I am fixing you, darling, whether you like it or not.” 20 minutes on each side later, and my shoulders felt like they’d been on a spa retreat run by tiny acupuncturists with PhDs in pain and pleasure. My skin? A constellation of little dots and bruises—a reminder that beauty is pain, and apparently, so is relaxation. Overall: I’m committing to a month-long love affair with this mat. Will update once my body becomes as soft as my heart.

Super Matte! Die ersten 5 Minuten sind hart, aber dann merkt man die Entspannung. Sehr zu empfehlen!

ジャネリックが思ったり良かったので、こっちのlevel2も買ってみました。 level3と迷いましたが、1でもよかったかもと思うくらい本家は痛みが強く、自分の場合20分経ってもまだ痛みがあり、これで気持ちよくなるのかなという感じでした。 しかし、二日目同じようにおそらく20分近く経った頃に寝落ちしていたみたいで、二時間近くこの上で寝ていました。 ちょっとクセになる気持ち良さで今後も続けられそうです。

Wow, j'adore!!

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

Excellent product. Really does the job.
