Getting To Know Your Appliance; Proper Use; Safety Information - Beurer Shiatsu MG 295 Mode D'emploi

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.

2. Getting to know your appliance

The massage heads in your Shiatsu massager imitate the pressure and kneading movements of a Shiatsu
massage. This device with its moving massage heads provides a powerful and intense deep massage for the
whole back. You have to place the Shiatsu seat cover on a suitable seat pad for this purpose.
