ENGLISH 1 Intended Purpose

The remote controlled SFM-1000H uses electronic motors and gears for massaging feet, ankles and calves. The Shiatsu massage with heating function imitates a strong, stimulating massage as a means of alleviating muscular strains and pains, as well as promoting relaxation. The kneading and vibration goes deep into the muscle layers, leaving you rejuvenated and relaxed. It can be used to stimulate meridians and enhance blood circulation. A wonderful way to relieve stress, sore and tired feet. It helps to tone and beautify your legs.

1.2 Shiatsu foot massage

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 SFM-1000 Shiatsu Feet Massager has rotating massage heads which imitates the pressure and kneading motions of a real Shiatsu feet massage.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese Medicine, the different acupuncture points distributed on the sole correlate with health condition of different human organs. Based on this theory, the ball bearing of the foot massager is equipped with strong magnets on the surface. It can achieve a strong stimulation and magnetic therapeutic effect on the acupuncture points on the sole. At the same time, the built-in infrared heat therapy will promote blood circulation of your feet. 2 Safety advice
