Shakti Mat
Good’s wellness columnist Rachel Grunwell recently reviewed the Shakti Mat. Here’s what she had to say: “I love a good blissful massage, so, I was keen to give a Shakti Mat a whirl. With a few different mats, I used the one for athletes the most. They have between 4000-8000 pressure points. The Shakti website promised the equivalent of having my own “personal masseuse... relaxation whenever you want, wherever you want”. The self-treatment of acupressure is fabulous. I put the mat on the back of my chair while I sit at my work desk, or after a long run, place my legs gently over the top of the mat. I sometimes also place my legs up the wall and my back on the mat. This is so nourishing, de-stressing and utter bliss. One mat $69. Use the coupon code Good at checkout and a mat can be yours for just $60. shaktimat.co. nz
