What’s so great about barefoot stimulation?
The importance of bare foot walking and feet stimulation has been well known for many years. In our modern world, most of us live in cities in towns, going from building to building, from flat floor to flat floor.
Our feet no longer experience the varied textures of nature that our ancestors were so used to before the days of concrete cities.
Science has shown that this stimulation of the feet is an integral part of development, especially for young children, which is why we’re bringing the textures of nature into the home so your children can experience the benefits of barefoot stimulation and explore the world by touch as nature intended.
Designed in collaboration with orthopaedic experts, our mats promote balance, core strength and coordination.
Research also shows that the activation of nerves on the bottom of the feet can promote concentration and other cognitive function, making it a great addition to your home-schooling set up.
Don’t forget that it’s not just the kids that can benefit. The massaging qualities of our play mats are an excellent tool reducing swelling and soothing your feet and legs after exercise.
What products do you offer?
Our sensory play mats can be categorised into two groups – firm and soft play mats. Both serve different functions in boosting child development through barefoot stimulation.
A combination of soft and hard tiles can create a play mat with a range of functions. One combination can help correct and prevent conditions like knock knee and flat feet, improve posture, build muscle strength, enhance balance and boost concentration.
Examples of our tiles
This set is a combination of soft and hard surfaces in ideal harmony. The set includes mini mats that can easily be attached to larger mats. They make an amazing addition to this set. You can get really creative.
Soft mats are used to gently stimulate, awaken and massage the feet. They provide relief for tired feet and activate unused muscles.
