Purpose

This device is intended for performing kneading roller massage of various parts of the human body (“Shiatsu” massage type).

Massage is performed using four optimally sized rollers that rotate in circular motions, similar to the fingers of a masseur.

The special massage mechanism of the device provides intensive kneading movements clockwise and counterclockwise, directly massaging the target area and affecting important body points, which achieves the massage effect – relieving overall fatigue, reducing tension in the massaged area, and alleviating muscle pain.

With the massage pillow, you can perform effective massage procedures not only at home but also in the office, and with the car adapter, you can use the device during trips and travel by car.

In addition to the overall massage effect, the gentle heating function provides warming of the massaged area, which helps improve the condition of the body in various acute and chronic conditions, relieve pain, and enhance enjoyment of the massage. Thanks to the special strap, the massage pillow can be fixed to a specific body area, attached to an office chair, or a car seat.

The main feature of any massage is its comprehensive positive effect on the entire body. Massage can have both relaxing and stimulating effects, and is often used to treat muscle pinching, relieve pain, and reduce fatigue. This occurs because massage stimulates blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, improves cell nutrition and oxygen supply, and removes metabolic by-products with the blood flow. Stimulation of skin, muscle, tendon, ligament, and vessel wall receptors during massage triggers secretion of mediators that transmit impulses to the central nervous system and brain. Under the influence of massage, biologically active substances, tissue hormones, histamine, endorphins, and other compounds beneficial to the body are released into the bloodstream.

Positive effects of massage on the body:

• Improves blood circulation, stimulates lymphatic drainage, and enhances tissue trophism;
• Improves metabolism, vessel flexibility, and skin condition;
• Activates recovery processes in the body and eliminates stagnation;
• Increases muscle tone;
• Normalizes the functioning of internal organs and strengthens the immune system;
• Effectively impacts fat deposits in problem areas;
• Relieves muscle pain and fatigue, increases productivity;
• Reduces pain in lumbar-sacral radiculitis;
• Improves condition in chronic fatigue, depression, and stress.
