The history behind the Fakirmat

It all started an evening in October 2008, which I still remember was very rainy and windy. I was sitting in my calm yogastudio thinking about how I as an Ayurvedic masseur could help my clients even more. Almost every single person I met had a stiff neck and shoulder pain. Many of my clients also had very stressful days and was too stressed to meditate and actually focuse, even after many attempts. And who can afford to go to their massage therapist everyday?

Thinking didn't bring me a solution. So to help calm my thoughts for a while, I sat down and meditated. After about 20 minutes or so, I felt this joy in my mind and body. I felt so enlightened in a new way I've never felt before when I have meditated. It was like wanted to smile with my whole body. I could see it in front of my closed eyes...a neckpillow. I gently opened my eyes and knew what the message was all about. An acupressure mat with a neck pillow!!!

I knew about some acupressure mats and had enjoyed the effect on the back, but there was something missing. To roll a towel and place under the mat was not good enough. It didn't feel as comfortable and ergonomic as it should. When I came home I told my beloved girlfriend about what I had experience and she told me she actually thought about the same thing when I was away, referring to her dizziness caused by tense neckmuscles, which made it even clearer.
This magic just can't be wrong!


So after alot of research asking people about their needs, and several testings of the mat and it's neckpillow and colours, The Fakirmat was born into this world!!
As the most complete spikemat on the market!

Now everyone can be a Fakir!!
