And Alice Cooper's song?
Benefits?
[edit]Does it have any benefits, such as claimed increase of blood circulation, and relief of stress, sleeping problems, back pain, depression, migraine, releases endorphin, etc. Any scientifically proven benefiting effect or is these and similar statements just scamming? -- Frap (talk) 23:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Have these benefits been discussed in reputable sources? All claims of benefits in the article are unsourced and seem copy-pasted from a manufacturer's advertising copy. This is obviously not encyclopedic. -- Sboucher (talk) 07:11, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- I've removed the entire section discussing the plastic spike mat and its supposed benefits and provenance. There has obviously been more going on here than independent neutral encyclopaedia writing. More importantly no reliable sources for any of it, and plenty of original research. As such it may be removed by any editor if it gets put back. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:50, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed. Content about Swedish "spike mats" did not fit well in this article. Even if it had had reliable sourcing or any non-promotional substance to offer, content about the therapeutic product belonged elsewhere. - AtticusX (talk) 21:47, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
