At first, I spontaneously picked up two of the spheres that were lying around. I didn’t know anything about them, but I already thought it might be a comparison. [Otherwise identical concrete spheres, one with and one without Pneumatit®.] Then I was completely surprised. One sphere immediately felt distinctly softer and after a few moments also warmer than the other. When I asked, it turned out to be the Pneumatit sphere. After that, I was able to correctly identify another 5 pairs of spheres without difficulty; only in one case did it not work out. Later on, I went on the comparison paths. One path was just like regular concrete is supposed to feel like – as someone who occasionally works with concrete at home, I know how it feels like – but the other path felt different. It almost seemed impossible that you could feel such a difference: The one path is softer while simultaneously feeling more resilient or springy underfoot. And right away my right foot started tingling where a few years ago my ligaments had been injured.

During a subsequent tour of an industrial hall with a 45 cm thick floor made of Pneumatit®-concrete Ralf Röhring experienced strong tingling sensations in his previously injured and still sensitive foot again. When someone mentioned that according to product description Pneumatit works “as if blood returns into numb limbs,” he replied:

That’s exactly what it feels like! It’s an invigorating tingling sensation [which gradually disappeared after about 5 minutes]. Everything here generally feels more pleasant overall – just as touching the Pneumatit sphere is more pleasant too! This sensation increases over time up into your thighs and body as well! People can consider themselves lucky to be able to work here.
