Massage category
he programmes of the Compex Massage cate-
T
gory subject the muscles of the stimulated region
to moderate activity, which produces beneficial
effects that help to improve physical comfort and
well-being.
emaining in the same working position for a
R
long time (for example, sitting in front of a com-
puter screen), conditions of stress, repeated jost-
ling, insufficient muscular conditioning before
physical activity are all very frequent situations
that are often responsible for uncomfortable bo-
dily sensations.
he automatic progression of the various stimula-
T
tion sequences, specific to each programme of the
Massage category, allows each user to adapt the
effects of stimulation to his own needs and objec-
tives.
If strong pain persists, the programmes of the Massage category should never be
used for long periods without first seeking medical advice.
