Model #: PT500

PRESS

This massage option is a slower pressing motion that simulates the massage technique called cupping. Cupping is best for 

deep tissue massage therapy.  The PT500 allows you to adjust the position, roller width, and speed of the pressing function 

during a massage. 

To Turn the Press Function On: 

1.  Turn the PT500 on.

2.  Press the “press” button on the remote control. 

3.  Select which area of you back you would like massaged with the 

back stretching and/or massage position buttons. 

4.  For a more particular setting you can adjust the width of the rollers 

from the outer edges of your back all the way to the spine area using 

the width button on the remote. 

5.  Adjust the speed you would like the massage to be with the 

speed button. If you would like an intense massage to relieve 

pain, adjust the speed to go faster and if you would like  

something more soothing adjust the speed to move slower.
