WHAT IS THE SVAVA MAT?The Svava Mat (Svava means “Hover” in Swedish) is a thin mattress covered by plastic spikes, inspired by ancient Indian healing tradition. It is believed to have been around for thousands of years. Today it is “re-invented” in a more modern form, with thousands of non-toxic plastic spikes, harmless to the skin but with all the healing benefits of its legendary ancestor. The Svava Mat became a success in Scandinavia practically overnight. People in the health care sector have welcomed its self-treatment advantages with keen interest. The Svava Mat reaches out to a wide target group, across all ages and professions for its deeply relaxing and restful effects.
Sväva Mat's many spikes can't be ignored. They are unbending and tireless in their ability to stimulate nerve endings, increase blood circulation and take your mind off almost any annoying subject. These little spikes open the express lane for endorphins, many of which could have been stuck in traffic for months.
Across Scandinavia there is growing awareness and acceptance of the perceived value of mats similar to, but not nearly as nice as, the Sväva Mat. Athletes, arthritis sufferers, stressed-out professionals, super models, supervisors, supernumeraries all routinely put such a mat between themselves and the world around them.

HOW DOES THE SVAVA MAT WORK?
The Svava Mat is an excellent aid in self-treatment and helps stimulate energy in the body. While triggering the body’s innate way of healing itself, it is an effective tool for easing tension and inducing a state of deep relaxation, The Svava Mat works similar to acupuncture: the pressure of the rounded spikes against the skin may help the body release endorphins, the body’s very own “happiness drug” which provides a sense of joy, energy and pain relief, and oxytocin, which makes you calm and relaxed (yes, it is possible to feel energetic and be relaxed at the same time!). Everybody reacts differently to The Svava Mat, and the effects may even vary from time to time; You may feel sleepy, alert, relaxed, happy. A lot of people experience feelings of relaxation and heightened body temperature and a clearer mind. The Svava Mat may also help the body rid itself of toxins, so it is important to drink water after using the Svava Mat.
HOW DO I USE The Svava Mat?
Bring out your Svava Mat when needed, preferably daily, and lie on your back with The Svava Mat under you for 10 to 20 minutes or as long as you desire. As a new user it might be better to lie for a shorter period of time or start with a light t-shirt until the body and the skin get more used to the spikes. It is not harmful to lie for a longer period of time on the Svava Mat, or even fall asleep on it. The Svava Mat can be used for different body parts.
The sensations and results may vary from person to person. The Svava Mat is used by many athletes, yoga practitioners and people in the general work place who are interested in their well being and want to feel better and more relaxed in their everyday life. Due to its circulation benefits it is also widely used by people who are sitting during work. It may also be used before yoga/exercise to warm up muscles and joints, afterwards to wind down/meditate/relax, or anytime during the day in order to alleviate stress, back pains, tensions or sleeping problems, or to generally help increase blood circulation.
