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 is stimulating, relaxing and helps to eliminate pain of the nerves and muscles. Massage may also positively effect the vascular system, the inner organs and metabolism. There are five classic methods of massage: stroke massage, kneading, tapping and vibrating 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).

How does the HM 886 massager work? The MEDISANA HM 886 massager utilizes what is known as vibration massage, whereby the massage head is subjected to high-frequency oscillation, giving rise to a vibrating motion, which is transferred to the parts of the body being massaged. It also features an optional red light warming function, which can be activated either independently or together with the massage. This special form of heat treatment accelerates the positive effects of the massage. When this is activated, the massage head will warm up slightly, but not actually get hot. The unique combination of intensive massage and heat treatment allows the HM 886 massager to offer effective and relaxing therapy.
