HOW TO USE A MASSAGER
Whether you're looking for a specific spot on the body or an end-of-day release for your entire system, there are only five steps to know.
- Turn on the Massager without placing it on your body. That may seem like a minor thing, but it is important for better control. Placing the Massager on your muscle and then turning it on can be a little rough.
- Rest the Massager on your body. Don't add any pressure. Just let it float.
- Slide the Massager along the muscle. Move slowly.
- If you find a knot or area of tension, let the Massager rest there, without adding additional pressure, for a few moments before continuing.
- Breathe: inhale and exhale long. And feel the relief.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SORE NECK AND BACK
If you consider your cell phone as an extension of your hand, if your day involves maintaining a hunched posture in front of a computer, or if you are reading this text, it is likely that you have suffered from tension in your neck, shoulders and upper back. The long-term strategy to combat it includes taking frequent breaks from using electronic devices, stretching, and paying attention to our posture. In addition, we recommend this practical routine with the massager that focuses on relaxing the trapezius and lumbar muscles, thus offering faster relief.
TIRED LEGS AND SORE FEET
When you've spent the entire day or even just a few hours at a time on your feet, it's a relief to take off your shoes. Do pointe and push-ups, roll your ankles, give your lower legs a little pressure. To take that feeling of relief to another level, we can use the massager on the calf, shin and arch of the foot to relieve tension. We would like to follow this routine after a day of errands, a long run, or a flight but really any excuse will do.
