Massage Actions (Upper Body)
Shiatsu: This feels as though the thumbs of both hands are being
used to work on the acupressure points. The initial strong push is
followed by a short pause to give the impression of a professional
shiatsu massage therapist.
3-Stage Shiatsu: This massage features three increasingly strong
pushes.
Pressing: This massage presses stiff muscles toward the outside
and is effective on areas around the shoulder blades on the outer
shoulders as well as the lower back.
Kneading: With this massage, a strong push is followed by a quick
release in a rhythm that is designed to relax stiff muscles. It is ideal
for loosening stiff muscles in the neck and beside the spine.
Deep Kneading: With this massage the massage heads work slowly
over the acupressure points in a deep kneading motion.
Wide Kneading: This motion is like the palms of both hands being
used to press and rub over a wide area from both sides of the body.
This type of massage is ideal for someone wanting a broad swedish
style massage on the back or lower back.
. Press if you want to stop the massage immediately.
Tapping: This motion is like a fist used in a rhythmic pattern to
provide a solid tapping that is designed to eliminate stubborn
stiffness and tiredness.
Soft Tapping: With this massage soft tapping is carried out in a
rhythmic pattern alternately to the left and right.
Rhythmic Tapping: With this massage slow tapping is alternated
with light tapping to relax stiff muscles.
Rolling: The massage heads become rollers that roll over the back
up and down from the neck to the lower back to stretch the back
muscles and relieve tension.
Regional Rolling: The massage heads become rollers that roll over
the back muscles, but this time in a specified 4 in. location.
Pressing: With this massage the shoulder muscles are pressed down
from directly above to bring relief to stiff muscles.
Vibration: The high frequency vibration action helps your tense body
to relax. This is ideal when used together with rolling, etc. for a full
body massage. (EP3203 only)
