August 23, 2012 — The Spoonk acupressure massage mat, recently named the “Best Alternative Remedy” for pain relief by Dr. Oz, is the perfect holiday gift for those on your list who need help unwinding, who’d like a deeper sleep, or those who experience chronic neck and shoulder pain.
By lying on the Spoonk mat for only 20 minutes per day, users are treated to an invigorating acupressure massage that enables the body to relax and release endorphins that effectively reduce pain and improve sleep!
The holidays often bring an extra influx of stress for many people. Between traveling, shopping, and spending that extra stint with in-laws and extended family, many Americans look for an easy way to unwind during the holidays. This year, consumers can forgo their go-to glass of red wine and instead, opt for an all-natural way to relax, both mentally and physically.
“The little spikes (flowerets) stimulate the body’s acupressure points, releasing pleasurable endorphins,” Dr. Oz explains. Indeed, the Spoonk mat has over 6,000 of these stimulation points built into it to provide equal pressure on the body. The popular medical TV personality isn’t the only one singing the Spoonk’s praises, though. Humberto Olivo, the head coach for the U.S. Olympic triathlon team, uses the Spoonk after hard training sessions and recommends it to all his athletes.
All of this helps explain why the Spoonk was voted the #1 “Christmas Gift of the Year” in Sweden, where according to a WE Vancouver report, “The mats have been such a hit … that now every one-in-three households owns one. They sell them everywhere from supermarkets to gas stations.”
Spoonk’s myriad benefits includes:
- Better circulation
- Boost in energy
- Back, neck, hip and joint pain relief
- Deeper sleep
- Muscle tension reduction
- Decreased stress
- Improvement in overall health
