GENERAL MASSAGING INSTRUCTIONS

TM
In principle, the wellsystem _Relax can be used for the mechanical
massaging of all symptomatic and non-symptomatic tension of all the
back musculature, gluteal musculature and leg musculature.
The device must never be used for mechanical massaging if it will over-
tax or even damage the tense musculature or other tissue structure of the
spinal column and the pelvic area, such as the main vertebrae, the liga-
ments in a motor segment, the iliosacral joint or the hip joint.
It must never be allowed to cause negative or somatic reactions such as
pain or signs of inflammation and must never be used in areas where you
suspect that a loosening of a device will occur as a result of the
mechanical oscillations, e.g. an endoprosthetic device.
The spinal column must be adequately stabilized and mobilized, so that
movement reactions to the massage stimulation are possible during the
treatment.
The advantages of the device as compared to other forms of physical
therapy:
• The circulatory system is not overburdened
• No sweating afterwards
• Individual and reliable dosing
• Time required by the user is reduced
• Simply relaxing, beneficial and stimulating.

Indications and contra-indications

• Involuntary relief from pain states
• Loosening of scar tissue
• Activation or dulling of the vegetative nerve system with favourable
effects to the internal organs
• An increase in the efficiency of the ensuing therapeutical treatment
(extensions, manual therapy, physiotherapy, etc.)

• Sub-acute lumbago (less acute lumbago)
• Fibromyalgia (mild form)
