USER MANUAL SMC1000H TOPCOM

ENGLISH 1 Intended Purpose The SMC-1000H is a portable shiatsu massage cushion that contains internal electronic motors and gears designed to massage the person sitting on it. The full intensity Shiatsu function imitates a strong, stimulating massage. The massage cushion can be fixed on an office chair or any other suitable seating with backrest (chair, sofa, or similar). With the controller you can vary the type, location, or intensity of massage. 2 What is Shiatsu The translation of the Japanese word ‘Shiatsu’ is ‘finger pressure’. The primary aim of Shiatsu is to promote energy flow, which serves to enhance circulation of blood, lymphatic fluid etc. It rebalances the digestive, circulatory, respiratory, nervous and immune systems, which become unbalanced as your body redirects resources to deal with everyday stress. In Shiatsu, the practitioner stimulates and balances the body through applying pressure and massaging acupuncture points and meridians. This stimulates the body's self healing capability and helps to maintain or regain health. The SMC-1000H Shiatsu massage cushion has rotating massage heads which imitates the pressure and kneading motions of a real Shiatsu massage. 3 Safety advice
