which opens the flow of Qi
through the meridians.

joint pain, sciatica, muscle
spasms, and pain in the back,
neck and shoulders. It also
helps chronic conditions such
as insomnia, constipation,
headaches, and the tension
associated with stress.
By stimulating specific
acupuncture points, it corrects
imbalances in the flow of Qi
through channels known as
meridians. Please read the

back and neck pains, sti
muscles, anxiety, fatigue,
migraines, rheumatism, and
even reduction of cellulite etc.
Shiatsu can help facilitate
healing from many minor
ailments. From headaches
and back pain to digestive,
sinus and skin problems.
Simulating acupuncture
provides the same
sensation without needles,
by utilizing electronic
pulses to achieve the
sensation of diering
needle depths.
Simulating tapping is
intended to produce a
hard thumping sensation
that message your
muscles, which can give
you an invigorated and
revitalized feeling.
Simulating Gua Sha with a
low frequency setting
provides the user with a
scratching and kneading
sensation. Gua Sha
releases unhealthy
elements from injured
areas and stimulates blood
flow and healing.

motor-neuron excitability,
promote relaxation and
well-being, and as a
recreational activity.

superficial and deeper
layers of muscle and
connective tissue using
various techniques.
Specifically use for lower

Deep tissue message can
provide relief from pain and
stiness associated with
sports injuries, whiplash,
osteoarthritis, muscle spasms,
fibromyalgia and strain
injuries such as carpal tunnel
syndrome.

Swedish massage, but the
deeper pressure
stimulation is beneficial in
releasing chronic muscle
tension.
Electrical muscle stimulation
helps muscle reduction,
relaxation of muscle spasms,
increase range of motion,
injury recovery and post
surgery recovery.
Applying electrical current
to muscles causes muscles
to contract. Stimulating
muscles repeatedly with
electricity may eventually
result in muscles that are
strengthened and toned to
some extent.

strengthening the abs, back,
thighs, and arms, etc.
