Note

Always wear light clothing when receiving a massage from the device.
- To receive a more gentle massage, insert a folded towel between the massage device and your body.
- Do not use the massage device for longer than 15 minutes. Otherwise, using the device for longer can over-stimulate the muscles and cause tension instead of relaxation.

WARNING

The massage must be pleasant and relaxing at all times. Stop the massage or change the position of the massage device if you find it is painful or unpleasant.

• In order to prevent yourself from being trapped between the heads, do NOT lean on the massage heads when changing your position or moving the massage device.
• Do not force any part of your body, in particular your fingers, between the rotating massage heads and their mountings in the device.

To start with, gently press the part of your body you wish to massage against the massage device. Particularly when lying down, make sure that you gently lift your weight off the corresponding part of your body. Then make sure that you are in a comfortable position before gradually shifting your weight onto the massage device.

9. About Shiatsu massage

Shiatsu is a form of body massage which was originally developed in Japan around 100 years ago. It is based on ideas anchored in traditional Chinese medicine, in particular the meridian system, i.e. the paths in the human body along which energy is conveyed.

The aim of any Shiatsu massage is to promote the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of the person being treated. To do this, energy blocks and bottlenecks in the meridians need to be dissolved and the self-regulating ability of the body needs to be stimulated.

Shiatsu therapists achieve this by exercising pressure in flowing movements along the meridians. Although Shiatsu can be literally translated as "finger pressure", practitioners also use the heels of their hands, their elbows and knees as well as their fingers. In the process, the therapist will use his or her full body weight in order to generate the required pressure. Your Shiatsu massage device has rotating massage heads which imitate the pressure and kneading motions of a Shiatsu massage.
