ShaktiMat Acupressure Mat for Relaxation, Massage Muscles, Aid Sleep & Unlock Inner Tension, Similar to Acupuncture, No Needles Required (Classic, Level 1, Indigo)

I have a lot of stress on my back and neck from my job and I’ve tried a lot of different things but this works the absolute best. I have to set a timer to wake me up because it knocks me out cold every single time I use it. I bought the highest level just to try out and can say it surprised me and is certainly worth every penny. My wife did not have such drastic results but said she undeniably felt way more relaxed. It definitely takes a couple of minutes until the slight discomfort fades and my whole back feels warm and incredibly relaxed. It’s a great bonus and worth more to me that they pay the workers fairly in a country notorious for poor wages and mistreating employees.

If you can get a tattoo you can lay on this all day long. The biggest thing that makes it uncomfortable is laying down and then having to adjust. I try to lay down as flat as possible on it and just kind of roll side to side to adjust so that way the spikes don’t tear at me. I love it! It helps a lot! I am a mechanic full-time, full-time single dad to a two-year-old, and I do side jobs. I’m almost 40 and my body is hurting. This is definitely a tool I have added to my arsenal to help combat the aches and pains of life. I wake up with tension in my neck and shoulders all the time. I lay on this( sometimes in the morning, but I try not to because it does help you fall asleep) multiple times a day. Everything they say is true. Its uncomfortable and you want to get up or keep adjusting. Even if you’re in a weird position, just lay there. once that uncomfortable feeling goes away you literally start feeling it piercing into the tension and then a hot feeling just releases. it’s amazing! Get the advanced mat! Its not bad! You’ll wish you did!

I have been using these mats for about 6 years. They really work. I own 2 of the shakti brands and one non. There is a difference. Shakti is top quality. Take note that there are different levels of these mats. This one is very intense and I don’t recommend it for a first timer. The original level is actually perfect. I would suggest this one after you have a lot of experience with the original version. You have to commit in order to get to the benefits. Make it through the first 3-4 minutes and you’ll be surprised at the switch from pain to a relaxing, pleasing sensation. I have fallen asleep many times on mine. Good luck. You won’t be disappointed.

If you’re looking for a gentle massage, keep moving. The ShaktiMat Classic is exactly what it claims to be: advanced intensity. The first 60 seconds feel like a "fight or flight" response, but if you can breathe through the initial prickly shock, something incredible happens. Around the 5-minute mark, the stinging transforms into a deep, radiating heat as blood flow surges to the area. By 20 minutes, I’m usually so relaxed I have to set an alarm so I don't fall asleep on it.

I started out with one of the cheap, imitation brands that you can get for $20 here on Amazon. I loved using it but wanted to take it to the next level, so I bought the advanced level 3 version of the real deal Shakti mat. It is incredible! The spikes are so much sharper than the knock off brand and really grip into your skin. This mat is simply amazing and far superior to the cheaper one! It is well worth the higher price! Even the foam padding is noticeably better! Using this mat is such a blissful experience - I wish I would have started with the real Shakti mat and lament all the hours of what now by comparison in retrospect provided a substandard experience!

This mat is PAIN and BLISS at the same time! I've never used an acupressure mat whatsoever. I would consider myself to be in excellent shape as I lift weights 6 days a week and have always worked out religiously for over 35 years. I jumped right in and bought the advanced mat. First session I did bare back and for 40 minutes. Yes at first I'm like oh my gosh this is painful as heck but in a good way. After about 13 minutes I'm literally in another zone, dimension, world and I'm out! I wake up now after 55 minutes that I set my timer for and the entire session seems like 5 minutes. I'm sleeping better and lok forward to laying on my nails before bed, love my advanced Shakti!!!

I can’t stress enough how much this will positively impact your day. Understand the first 3 minutes or so of laying on this mat is uncomfortable and when your done, getting up sucks. Some people I could legit see shedding a tear or two if your pain tolerance is low but I promise if you just power thru those first couple of minutes it’s 100 percent worth it. Making the body uncomfortable is good for you so. Don’t be afraid of it. Embrace it!

First off, im skeptical of basically anything new or different, however im also pretty cultured, so when I saw ada for this I thought ok, well if India has been using these for hundreds of years, there must be something to it right? I used it a few times and meh I was like ok its annoying pain did the 20 min and didnt seem to do much. BUT, my back was pretty bad from lifting this morning, now mind you I have herniated discs so im always in pain as far as my back is concerned, but these work the muscles, and more relaxed muscles can help with all back pain. So I used it tonight and WOW after 10 min I could bend and stretch and all the additional pain I had been feeling was GONE!! Not to mention I felt well, just better over all, and I am NOT the hippie yoga feel good fella, im the old curmudgeon war vet type. Needless to say yes this thing works, and knowing what I know about health and fitness it makes sense how and why it works, ancient medicine people, still works in modern times. Thanks for listening.

At first it was quite painful and hard to stay on, but after a few minutes I could feel the blood circulation and after 20 minutes I gladly warm and relaxed. I sleep well every night

I cannot rave enough about this product. The advanced is definitely not for people with low pain tolerance tho. I personally love it but if you can’t tolerate that start with beginners. Still fabulous and I actually sleep on that one but for days where my pain is intolerable I use the advanced.

very good and sturdy product with amazing results

It’s not a miracle cure that some make it out to be. There are times when it doesn’t fix muscle spasms for me and other times it does. It is painful but you get through it hence my 1 star for comfort as it’s painful. I’m glad we bought it and would have liked it earlier in life as just something to lay on when needed. Hang it on your wall as a decoration when not in use.

Bei der Bestellung auf die Farben achten, die Matten sind unterschiedlich, hatte aus versehen zu erst die Advance bestellt. Die war mir zu heftig, konnte sie anstandslos zurück schicken und hab mir eine in grün bestellt. Wenn man sich das erste mal drauf legt, ist es etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, nach einem kurzen Moment ändert sich das und es setzt tatsächlich eine wohltuende Entspannung ein. So ein pulsierendes Gefühl, als würde der Rücken massiert. Wenn man sich nicht mit der nackten Haut drauf legen möchte kann man auch ein T-Shirt anziehen. Ich benutze sie jeweils für ca. 20 Minuten und höre dabei entspannende Musik.
