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.
In the MEDISANA Shiatsu massage cushion MPD you have a modern device
for genuine Shiatsu style back an legs massages.
The MEDISANA Shiatsu massage cushion MPD has four three-dimensional
rotating twin massage heads
for Shiatsu massage of back and legs. The
device is equipped with an additional heat function in the massage heads. The
unique combination of intensive shiatsu massage with radiated heat makes the
massage cushion an effective and relaxing treatment.
The use of the Shiatsu massage cushion will improve your wellbeing after a
stressful day. The massage effect is particularly useful for treating tense muscles
and tired tissue. The unit provides pleasant relaxation for overcoming everyday
stress. The massaging can improve your well-being, and is also useful in the
sport and fitness areas.
Start-up
•
Fasten the protective cover
to the surface of the massage cushion with
the Velcro strips. Just as well the cover is detachable for easy cleaning. It is
also possible to massage without the protective cover; this is generally found
to be “harder”.
• Place the
massage cushion
on the backrest of a high chair or armchair and
attach it to this by means of the Velcro straps
on the back.
Ensure that the
cushion is supported over its entire area and has a sufficiently high backrest.
Alternatively place the cushion on an adequate base (e.g. couch, sofa, or
similar) to massage your legs.
•
Insert plug
into the mains socket. Ensure that the power supply is easily
accessible.
•
Take a seat and gently press your back against the the Shiatsu massage
cushion to familiarise yourself with the functions.
•
Sit comfortably and upright. Ensure you sit centered and such that the mas-
sage heads
can move to the left and right of your spinal column.
