Compression massage and its
characteristics
Compression massage supports regeneration and relaxa-
tion. CARE PUMP Move8 works on the principle of intermit-
tent pneumatic compression, that is, it uses sliding pressure
waves enabling mechanical compression instead of manu-
al massage. Massage of the area takes place by pressing
through air-filled sleeves into which a stream of compres-
sed air is supplied from the base unit (compressor) by a sys-
tem of flexible hoses. Filling individual chambers of special
sleeves at pre-programmed intervals creates slow-moving
pressure. Gentle, rhythmic pressure waves arise. At the end
of the cycle, the air is automatically pumped out. Pneumatic
