Massage Techniques What It Does Benefits
MASSAGE TECHNIQUES
KNEADING
Kneads your back in a small,
circular motion on both sides
of your spine simultaneously. Relieves tension and soreness
by lifting and stretching muscles.
Improves circulation and helps bring
vital nutrients to the spinal area.
Alternates rapid-tapping strokes
along the spine to stimulate both
spinal muscles and spinal joint
areas, emulating the percussive
massage technique used in sports
medicine for deep muscle therapy. Flexes spinal joints and relieves
pressure on the spinal column,
invigorating the entire back area. PERCUSSION
Rolls gently up and down
your back near your spine. Warms and loosens your muscles,
preparing your back for deeper
massage. Relieves muscle tension,
improves circulation and relaxes the
back. ROLLING
Presses on spinal muscles
and spinal joint areas using
alternating strokes and a gentle
rocking motion, emulating
a technique used in sports
medicine and in spinal therapy
by chiropractors. Spreads and applies pressure to deep
muscle tissue, forcing it to relax, while
the rocking motion loosens spinal
joints. Aides in muscle and joint
repair due to strain from exercise,
long hours bent over a desk, or just
day-to-day stress, and can improve
mobility and overall posture. COMPRESSION
Zone — Targets your
massage to a six-inch
zone. Use the Position
buttons to focus
your massage on the
desired area.
