work or exhaustion from the day before, this program helps to overcome fatigue and gain
new strength in a short amount of time.
Press this button for the 18-minute automatic program LUMBAR STRETCH. Sitting at a
desk for long periods of time will particularly strain the lumbar spine. This stretch program
helps to relieve stress and alleviates spinal pain caused by long-term burdens.
Press this button for the 18-minute automatic program DEEP TISSUE. Stretching and
massaging the bones in the hands and feet initiates the relaxation of the whole body. We
recommend to let this program take effect by subsequently choosing one of the two
AUTO RECLINER positions (buttons 10 and 11).
Press this button for the 9-minute automatic program QUICK. If you are looking for a
quick all-round relaxation, we recommend this massage experience.
The automatic programs I, II, III, and IV have the following options:
Press once: 100 % air pressure intensity, press twice: 50 % air pressure intensity, press three times: 20 % air pressure
intensity

Massage and Remote Control Functions Massage and Remote Control Functions
10 AUTO RECLINER: FLOAT
11 AUTO RECLINER: INVERSION
8-minute automatic program that primarily relaxes the waist using air
pressure. The program begins with a back scan in order to adjust the
massage optimally to your body and the footrest adjusts itself automati-
cally according to your leg length.
Sitting at a desk or standing for a long period of time creates great
pressure on the waist and pelvis. The reclined position FLOAT helps to
reduce this pressure and general exhaustion. This position is held for
around 30 minutes before the massage chair returns back to the starting
position.
Medical studies show that brain activity depends on the oxygen
content in the brain. Holding the body in the inversion position (feet
are positioned higher than the head) for 15 minutes allows the
enriched, oxygenated blood to ow to the head, stimulating brain
activity and therefore improving cognitive and memory performance
– essential for the health of the brain. The position is held for around
35 minutes before the massage chair returns back to the starting
position.
