DETAILS REGARDING MANUAL OPERATION Shiatsu Tap A This feels as though the thumbs of both hands are being used to work on the acupressure points. The initial strong push is followed by a short pause to give the impression of a professional shiatsu masseur. This type of massage is ideal for people with tight muscles and pain who want a point massage. This motion resembles the outer edge of the fingers being used to tap in a rhythmic motion that is designed to penetrate into the body and relax the muscles. It is ideal to use on the fine muscles of the neck or as a finishing massage. Swedish This motion is like the palms of both hands being used to press and rub over a wide area from both sides of the body. This type of massage is ideal for someone wanting a broad massage on the back or lower back. Tap B This motion is like a fist used in a rhythmic pattern to provide a solid tapping that is designed to eliminate stubborn stiffness and tiredness. This kind of massage is ideal for thick muscles such as those found in the shoulders. Knead With this massage, a strong push is followed by a quick release in a rhythm that is designed to relax stiff muscles. It is ideal for loosening stiff muscles in the neck and shoulders. Whole Back Roll The massage heads become rollers that roll over the back up and down from the neck to the lower back to stretch the back muscles and relieve tension. It is ideal to use at the beginning of a massage as it is relatively soft. Vibration The minute vibrations are designed to relax even the tensest body. Combined with a rolling massage, etc., this type of massage is ideal for the whole back.
