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 re-
generation of tissues.
Massage may also positively effect the vascular system, the inner organs and
metabolism. There are six classic methods of massage: stroke massage,
kneading, tapping, vibrating and roll 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).
The MEDISANA roll massage cushion RBM offers two different massage
techniques, vibrating massage in the seat and kneading massage by means of
roller technology.
Two motors
in the seat cause it to oscillate at a high frequency, resulting in
a vibrating motion that is transferred to the upper thigh. You have the option
of choosing between two massage intensities (Lo low / Hi high) and between
a normal, i.e. constant, or pulsating vibrating massage (Normal constant /
Pulse pulsating).
Alternatively or at the same time, you can switch on the kneading massage
function that operates by means of roller technology, with or without addi-
tional heat treatment from the back area of the massage cushion. Here four
anatomically arranged spherical rollers
work the musculature in the areas of
the neck, shoulder, back and midriff in a gentle way. Through the even up and
down movements of the rollers, the muscles are massaged in a beneficial way.
Switching on the heat function accelerates and reinforces the positive mas-
sage effect. The heat is emitted via the two side wings in the back section.
The unique combination of intensive vibrating massage, kneading massage and
heat radiation makes the application of the roll massage cushion effective and
relaxing. The individual functions can be used in any combination. Their
settings can be comfortably adjusted by means of the easy-to-handle control
unit
.
You can enjoy your massages any time you are sitting. Simply place the roll
massage cushion RBM over a chair or armchair with a high backrest, using the
practical fasteners on the back of the cushion.
The neck support cushion
provides extra comfort, and the control unit
,
when not being used, can be safely stored in the control unit pocket
.
