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 regener-
ation of tissues. Massage is stimulating, relaxing and helps to eliminate pain of
the nerves and muscles.
Massage may also positively effect the vascular system, the inner organs and
metabolism.
There are five classic methods of massage: stroke massage, kneading, tapping
and vibrating 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 IVM massager utilizes what is known as vibration massage,
whereby the massage head is subjected to high-frequency oscillation, giving
rise to a vibrating motion, which is transferred to the parts of the body being
massaged.
