THE 9-5 MASSAGE

Sitting at a desk and looking at a computer screen all day can be very hard on your back. Pain in the upper back and neck is usually due to the muscles 

becoming too tight. Tight muscles restrict blood flow in your back, which can make the pain worse. The Shiatsu kneading and back rolling technique 

can help in relieving the pain as well as stimulate blood flow of those tight muscles. 

For Upper Back Pain: 

1.  Adjust the chair into the lying down position using recline button for 

the back and leg adjustment. 

2.  Adjust the roller positioning so that your neck is positioned 

comfortably in between the upper rollers. 

3.  Make sure your spine is aligned with the center of the back rest so 

that the rollers focus on the proper muscles. 

4.  Turn the power to the chair on. 

5.  Adjust the back rollers to focus solely on the upper back and select a 

partial massage.

6.  Turn on the “knead and tap” function by pressing the button. It is 

recommended to use a medium speed.
