Hi @Topsy270, I have CP but have never tried this. I am tagging our cerebral palsy officer, @Richard_Scope, to see if he can offer any advice.Scope

Hi @Topsy270 I haven't used a Shakti Matt myself but I have heard that there might be benefits in terms of improving circulation and maybe even reducing pain. However, there is very little scientific evidence to confirm this.
I would suggest doing lots of research and talking over with your G.P or Practice Nurse.
