Shiatsu is a form of finger pressure massage and one of the most important
massaging techniques along with manual lymphatic drainage and reflexology.
This form of physical therapy was developed in Japan but stems from traditional
Chinese massage. Gentle stroking and beneficial pressure application techniques
are used to awaken life forces and encourage them to flow through the body.
The object of the massage is not just to ease tension, but also to optimise the
flow of life force and harmonise body and soul.
In the MEDISANA Shiatsu massage seat cover MCS you have a modern device
for genuine Shiatsu style back massages.
The MEDISANA Shiatsu massage seat cover MCS has four three-dimensional
rotating twin massage heads for Shiatsu massage of the three zones "Upper
Back", "Lower Back" and "Full Back". The device is equipped with an additional
3-level vibration function and a heat function in the massage heads. The
unique combination of intensive shiatsu and vibration massage with radiated
heat makes the massage seat cover an effective and relaxing treatment. Their
settings can be comfortably adjusted by means of the easy-to-handle control
unit
.
The use of the shiatsu massage seat cover will improve your wellbeing after a
stressful day. The massage effect is particularly useful for treating tense muscles
and tired tissue. The unit provides pleasant relaxation for overcoming everyday
stress. The massaging can improve your well-being, and is also useful in the
sport and fitness areas.
Start-up
• Place the massage seat cover on a high chair or armchair and attach it to this
by means of the fasteners
ported over its entire area and has a sufficiently high backrest.
• Insert plug
into the mains socket. Ensure that the power supply is easily
accessible.
• Take a seat on the shiatsu massage seat cover and familiarise yourself with
the functions.
• Sit comfortably and upright. Ensure you sit centered and such that the mas-
sage heads
can move to the left and right of your spinal column.
Operating the unit
The MCS shiatsu seat cover has three functions for an effective massage:
fingertip massage, vibration massage and heat. The heat function can only be
used together with the shiatsu massage, during which the vibration massage
can also be activated. Do not use the unit for more than 15 minutes at a time.
After approx. 15 minutes, the unit will switch off automatically. Always allow
the unit to cool down fully before you use it again.
