Massage is one of the oldest methods of treatment known

to human kind, and even today is an important element in
physical therapy. Mechanical manipulation of the body's
outer layers of tissue loosens up tense muscles, boosts
circulation and stimulates the regeneration of tissue.
Massage can therefore have a stimulatory or relaxing
effect, and can furthermore help to alleviate neuralgia and
muscular pain.
Massage additionally has a beneficial effect on the
vascular system, the internal organs and the body's
metabolism.
There are generally held to be five traditional types of
massage: Effleurage, kneading, tapotement and vibration
massages, as well as rubbing/tapping.
On top of these come such important massage techniques
as manual lymph drainage, reflexology, underwater
pressure-jet massage, brushing and finger-pressure
massage (Shiatsu, acupressure).
Tapotement is the technique used in this specialised
massage device. When set to the lower intensity level, the
massage head pulses at a speed of around 2600 pulses
per minute, and at 3400 pulses per minute on the higher
level, producing a tapotement effect on the area of the
body under treatment.
