A recent poll revealed that 64 percent of Americans were taking steps to reduce stress in their lives.1 This stress-relief revolution has caused an increase in the demand for relaxation products, and retailers have enjoyed de-stressor product success.
Spoonk acupressure mats are designed to offer consumers a real way to alleviate stress and tension through regular use with a combination of modern techniques and ancient acupressure practices.
The Spoonk acupressure mat is said to be based on the principles of ancient practices that have survived for centuries due to their overwhelming success in achieving true stress relief. Spoonk mats use acupressure techniques to help stimulate specific reflex points throughout the body that are designed to release blocked energy, ease tense muscles and create deep mental and physical relaxation.
Its 6,210 small points aim to provide equal pressure to the body, stimulating blood circulation, relaxing tense muscles and inducing the “feel good” hormones (endorphins and oxytocin) that release feelings of well-being and calm.
The Spoonk acupressure mats are marketed as having demonstrated a wide variety of potential health benefits for consumers, including the promotion of healthy circulation, normal energy levels, proper digestion and immune response, while easing of muscle tension and improving quality of sleep.*
Perhaps most beneficial to today’s consumer is its potential to address back, neck, hip and joint pain. A recent study revealed that joint pain is much more prevalent than it was just five years ago; now a staggering one in three people suffer from frequent joint discomfort.2
