3. About Shiatsu massage
Shiatsu is a form of body massage which was originally developed in Japan around 100 years ago. It is
based on ideas anchored in traditional Chinese medicine, in particular the meridian system, i.e. the paths in
the human body along which energy is conveyed.
The aim of any Shiatsu massage is to promote the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of the person
being treated. To do this, energy blocks and bottlenecks in the meridians need to be dissolved and the self-
regulating ability of the body needs to be stimulated.
Shiatsu therapists achieve this by exercising pressure in flowing movements along the meridians. Although
Shiatsu can be literally translated as “finger pressure”, practitioners also use the heels of their hands, their
elbows and knees as well as their fingers. In the process, the therapist will use his or her full body weight in
order to generate the required pressure.

8. Start-up
• Remove the packaging.
• Check the device, power supply and cables for damage.
• Connect the device to the mains power supply.
• Set the main switch to 1.
• Route the cable safely so that there is no risk of anyone tripping over it.
9. Operation
Remove your shoes before each use. When seated comfortably, place your feet on the massage heads. The
device is prevented from slipping by the rubber feet on the base of the device.
Switch on the massager firstly at the main switch and then with the on/off button. To switch on the heat
function and the 2nd speed setting, press the on/off button again. Press on/off again to switch off the device.
For an optimum massage position, the rear feet can be adjusted. Rotate the feet higher in a clockwise direc-
tion or lower in an anti-clockwise direction.
The massage must be pleasant and relaxing at all times. Stop the massage or change your position or the
contact pressure if you find it is painful or unpleasant.
• Do not force any part of your body, in particular your fingers, between the rotating massage heads and
their mountings in the device.
Note
• Do not use the massage device for longer than 15 minutes. Otherwise, using the device for longer
can over-stimulate the muscles and cause tension instead of relaxation.
Massage of a specific point on the sole of the foot may influence the corresponding organ of the body.
However, we recommend studying relevant literature and asking your doctor before using point reflex
zone massage to achieve the desired effect.
