1. About Shiatsu massage

Shiatsu is a type of body massage that was developed in Japan over 100 years ago, based on ideas taken
from traditional Chinese medicine. The basic principle is that there is a system of energy channels (meridian
system) within the human body.
The objective of a Shiatsu massage is to boost the physical, emotional and mental well-being of the treated
person. To this end, energy blockages in the energy channels must be removed and the self-regulating
powers of the body must be stimulated.
Shiatsu therapists achieve this by applying pressure in flowing movements along the energy channels (me-
ridians). Although Shiatsu literally translates as "finger pressure", treatment is not just given with the fingers,
but also with the heels of the hand, elbows and knees. The therapist uses their whole body weight to create
the necessary pressure.

2. Getting to know your device

The rotating massage heads in your massager imitate the pressure and kneading movements of a Shiatsu
massage. This device comes complete with rotating massage heads and provides a powerful and intensive
deep massage for the whole back.
In addition to Shiatsu massage, the MG 320 offers an air compression massage in the midsection and on
the seat.
For this purpose, you must place the Shiatsu air compression seat cover on a suitable seating surface.
The device is suitable only for private use, and not for medical or commercial purposes.
