2.2

What is Shiatsu massage?

Shiatsu is a form of finger pressure massage and one of the most important massaging techniques along with manual lymphatic drainage and reflexology. This form of physical therapy was developed in Japan but stems from traditional Chinese massage. Gentle stroking and beneficial pressure application techniques are used to awaken life forces and encourage them to flow through the body. The object of the massage is not just to ease tension, but also to optimise the flow of life force and harmonise body and soul.

2.3

How does the MEDISANA Shiatsu massage seat cover work?

In the MEDISANA Shiatsu massage seat cover MCS you have a modern device for genuine Shiatsu style back massages.

The MEDISANA Shiatsu massage seat cover MCS has four three-dimensional rotating twin massage heads for Shiatsu massage of the three zones "Upper Back", "Lower Back" and "Full Back". The device is equipped with an additional 3-level vibration function and a heat function in the massage heads. The unique combination of intensive Shiatsu and vibration massage with radiated heat makes the massage seat cover an effective and relaxing treatment. Their settings can be comfortably adjusted by means of the easy-to-handle control unit 6.

2. Lower back

The Shiatsu massage heads ① travel up and down the lower half of the back in a circular motion. The reversal of the direction of rotation takes place when the respective end positions are reached.
