2.2 What is massage?

Massage is one of the oldest methods of treatment and an important part of physiotherapy. The mechanical treatment of the outer tissues of the body relaxes tense muscles, improves blood circulation and supports the regeneration of tissues.

Massage may also positively effect the vascular system, the inner organs and metabolism. There are six classic methods of massage: stroke massage, kneading, tapping, vibrating and roll massage as well as rubbing and slapping.

Furthermore, there are other important massage techniques such as manual lymphatic drainage, reflexology, underwater pressure massage, brush massage and finger pressure massage techniques (shiatsu, acupressure).

2.3 How does the MEDISANA roll massage cushion work?

The MEDISANA roll massage cushion RBM offers two different massage techniques, vibrating massage in the seat and kneading massage by means of roller technology.

Two motors 4 in the seat cause it to oscillate at a high frequency, resulting in a vibrating motion that is transferred to the upper thigh. You have the option of choosing between two massage intensities (Lo low / Hi high) and between a normal, i.e. constant, or pulsating vibrating massage (Normal constant / Pulsepulsating).

Alternatively or at the same time, you can switch on the kneading massage function that operates by means of roller technology, with or without additional heat treatment from the back area of the massage cushion. Here four anatomically arranged spherical rollers ④ work the musculature in the areas of the neck, shoulder, back and midriff in a gentle way. Through the even up and down movements of the rollers, the muscles are massaged in a beneficial way. Switching on the heat function accelerates and reinforces the positive massage effect. The heat is emitted via the two side wings in the back section.

The unique combination of intensive vibrating massage, kneading massage and heat radiation makes the application of the roll massage cushion effective and relaxing. The individual functions can be used in any combination. Their settings can be comfortably adjusted by means of the easy-to-handle control unit 10.

You can enjoy your massages any time you are sitting. Simply place the roll massage cushion RBM over a chair or armchair with a high backrest, using the practical fasteners on the back of the cushion.

The neck support cushion ① provides extra comfort, and the control unit ⑩, when not being used, can be safely stored in the control unit pocket ⑤.
