MassaGe techniques
SweDiSh
is a combination of tapping and clapping.
DuAl-Action
is a combination of tapping and kneading.
With the different programs the chair imitates the techniques of a traditional
hand massage:
rolling
the rolling is a pleasant change between tension and release of the muscles and
therefore is especially calming and relaxing. this technique is often used as a con-
clusion of the massage for relaxation of the muscles and for regeneration.
kneADing
skin and muscles are either captured or kneaded between thumb and index finger
or with both hands. this massage technique is especially used to relieve tension.
clApping
during clapping the circulation in the deep muscles is improved by light knocking
with the hollow hand. simultaneously this massage technique also stimulates the
nerve system. the clapping reduces tension and promotes the tightening of the
connective tissue. this gentle kind of massage stimulates the organism.
koMpreSSion
swelling and deflating of the air bags causes a pumping motion, which creates
natural muscle reflexes. this is especially pleasant in the calf- and foot area.
heAting
a deep and warmth-radiating effect, where one can relax perfectly. this function is
especially enjoyable in case of muscle tension due to its deep effect.
VibrAtion
the Vibration transforms entire body regions into even vibrations, which continue
all the way into the depths. stimulating for circulation, warming and relaxing for
the muscles.
tApping
during the tapping short knocking movements are performed with the edge of
the hand, the flat hand or the fist. they enhance the circulation of the skin and
change the tension in the muscles. if tapping is performed at the level of the
lungs, it will relieve mucus build-up in the lungs.
