Testimonials
Our favourite declarations of the Acumat® experience
Claire Missingham, International Yoga Teacher
"The Acumat is a really fantastic invention and certainly creates an interesting addition to yoga practice. I loved the pressure point massage in poses such as shoulderstand, plough pose and savasana, and found the weight distribution harnessed more strength in my core. A great and versatile product."
Tanya Faux - Professional Kayaker & World Champion
"I used a customised Acumat® kayak seat while competing at the 2010 Teva® Mountain Games in the USA. It significantly improved my balance and control of the kayak, which culminated in winning the Women's championship. I would definitely recommend the Acumat® to any kayaker as a way of improving both comfort and performance."
Dan Ross - Australian Professional Surfer
"I've had the chance to use the Acumat® on a regular basis and it has been great. One of the best things I found was laying on the Acumat® after a stretching session or workout to apply pressure on different parts of the body to release tension.
It was really beneficial for me around the shoulder area, and when I link that in with some breathing or meditational work it feels great. It would be unreal to have a gym floor covered in Acumats®. It's lightweight and great to travel with too, I've got it in my board bag right now en-route to the Jeffrey Bay event in South Africa."
Dr S.M - Medical Practitioner
"As a doctor, I value health and well being greatly. I am impressed with this versatile and innovative product that has many types of benefits. The Acumat® helped reduce pressure on my joints during Pilates and Yoga sessions.
It also feels great when combined with remedial massage and stretching. The acupressure effect is fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a more functional and comfortable mat for their exercise routines or treatments."
Marda Willey - Exercise Physiologist & Pilates Teacher
"As an Exercise Physiologist and Pilates teacher, I have to care for my rehabilitation clients and maintain the integrity of the Pilates method.
The Acumat® is ideal for comfort and kinesthetic feedback, it allowed my two trial clients to roll more efficiently and without pain:
Client A suffers long-term back and coccyx pain from multiple fractures, and with the Acumat® pyramids-up they were able to roll and flex more freely. Client B has severe scoliosis and arthritis in the lower back, with minimal body fat on the hip and pelvic area, during Pilates the Acumat® allowed them to roll down comfortably, feeling the spinal alignment piece-by-piece. Both clients found it comfortable and enjoyable to use, and there is no true Pilates apparatus to replace the Acumat®."
