Sensory stimulation optimises development in children

In order to optimise cognitive and motor development in children, you have to ensure that they are building a sufficient foundation in sensory stimulation. From touch and sound to colour and smell, sensory input early in childhood lays the foundation to higher brain processing including learning, memory, attention, emotion, and movement.

Insufficient stimulation can lead to impaired muscular movements, overreaction to stress, emotional disturbances, and learning deficits. From a sensory stimulation perspective, these mats not only encourage touch with both hands and bare feet, they help to develop a sense of sound, colour and smell, as well as lay the foundations for higher brain processing including learning, memory, attention, emotion and movement.

Big and Small

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.

Hard surfaces help warm the feet, intensify the feeling of walking on the mats, strengthen the muscles and ankles. The Logs mat is suitable for strengthening the centre of the body, for better balance and overall stability.

Overall, this is a balanced combination of mats that will serve most purposes.

What do physiotherapists say? ‘Little is needed to bring your feet to life. Use them. Use your feet as they were designed (barefoot) and on the terrain originally intended for them (natural surfaces). Diversity is welcome, as well as walking on stones, grass, forest path.’ That’s what our set offers.

Barefoot Stimulation Benefits

Walking barefoot on our mats can have an immediate impact on posture, balance, and gait. All achieved by improving sensory stimulation through the feet.​

​Barefoot Stimulation Allows Healthy Foot Development, Barefoot Stimulation Benefits the Brain

Barefoot Stimulation Enhances the Connection Between the Foot and Brain, Barefoot Stimulation Promotes Batter Walking Posture Its FUN!

By reconnecting to your foundation (the foot) you are waking up powerful neurological pathways that bring the brain and body back in line. This can mean immediate improvements in posture, balance, and walking!
