low back

Place the MedMassager™ along the muscles spanning the spinal column. Slowly move the unit from area to area or rhythmically move the unit up and down. If you have cramping or a specific tender area, keep it at that spot for several minutes. This will help stimulate blood circulation in the muscle tissue.

You can also sit in a high-backed chair or sofa with the body massager between you and the back at any level you need as high up as the neck.

DURATION: This treatment can be used up to 15 minutes at a time, several times a day until spasms are relieved.

mid & upper back

It’s very helpful to have someone help you with this area, but holding the body massager against the back of a chair also works quite well (see above technique in “low back pain”). The muscles spanning the spinal column in the lower back and/or neck most often suffer from tightness and stress.

Move the unit up and down the spine in a gentle circular motion concentrating on specific tender areas or trigger points. It is especially helpful to massage around the edges of the shoulder blades.

DURATION: This treatment can be used up to 10 minutes at a time, several times a day until comfort is achieved.

shoulder

Pain specific to the shoulder itself should be massaged around the muscle cap of the shoulder (deltoid), down the back of the shoulder (rotator cuff), and on the front of the shoulder – partially into the big chest muscle (pectoral).

DURATION: This treatment can be done for 5 to 15 minutes at a time, several times a day until comfort is achieved.

thigh & hamstring

The big front thigh muscles (quadriceps) and the back of the thigh muscles (hamstrings) can be relieved of muscle pain by rhythmically moving the MedMassager™ from the top of the leg down to the knee and back.

Additional pain relief can be achieved if you stop in the middle of the muscle and keep the massager directly over the affected area for a few minutes.

DURATION: This treatment can be done for 5 to 15 minutes at a time, several times a day until comfort is achieved.

knee

Generalized knee pain can be caused by many problems, but here we will discuss knee pain caused by simple arthritis or a mild strain. Treatment centers around lessening the pain in the joint and the surrounding muscles.

Begin using the MedMassager™ on a low setting for the first 1 to 2 minutes. Then, slowly bring up the speed to the most comfortable setting or what feels best to you. If you are able, use a rhythmic motion, which can be in circles or simply back & forth with mild to moderate pressure.

DURATION: This treatment can be done for 5 to 15 minutes at a time per knee, several times a day until comfort is achieved.

pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome & tendinitis

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is irritation in the median nerve as it passes through the groove (tunnel) between the hand bones. Spanning over the tunnel is the transverse carpal ligament. When a ligament becomes inflamed due to overuse, the swelling creates pressure within the tunnel, thus putting pressure on the median nerve.
Tendinitis is the inflammation of a tendon. There is a tendon at the end of each muscle and when muscles are used over and over for an activity, the tendons can become inflamed, as the muscle is constantly tugging on it.

Begin using the MedMassager™ on a low setting for the first 1 to 2 minutes. Then, slowly bring up the speed to the most comfortable setting or where it feels best to you. Rest the massager on the painful area. It may be easier to turn the massager upside down and rest the affected area on the soft massage pad.

DURATION: This treatment can be done for 5 to 10 minutes at a time, several times a day until comfort is achieved.

calf & lateral lower leg

The technique pictured to the left not only relieves cramping in the calf area
(gastrocnemius), but also relieves the tired achiness that often shows up in the outer lateral muscles of the lower leg (anterior tibialis). Using the technique pictured is also an excellent pain treatment caused by Restless Legs Syndrome.

Begin using the MedMassager™ on a low setting for the first 1 to 2 minutes. Then, slowly bring up the speed to the most comfortable setting or where it feels best to you. While seated or lying down, turn the massager upside down and rest the affected area on the soft massage pad.

DURATION: This treatment can be done for 2 to 10 minutes at a time, several times a day until comfort is achieved

Neck pain can be caused by many different conditions. Please get a diagnosis from your healthcare professional to make sure you do not have a serious condition that needs to be addressed immediately or something for which exercise or massage may be detrimental. These techniques are safe to address pain caused by muscle spasms from stress, fibromyalgia, or minimally-involved neck arthritis.

neck

Problems of the spinal column in the neck area show up as severe muscle spasms from the side of the neck to the top of the shoulder with the most sensitive areas (trigger points) a couple of inches away from the spinal column. There is a ridge on the back of the head called the occiput or occipital ridge, where several neck muscles attach. When the muscles attached to the occiput are tight and in spasm, you can get “occipital headaches,” more commonly known as tension headaches.
Begin using the MedMassager™ on a gentle low-number setting and massage directly below the occiput. Continue massaging trigger points of the neck muscles and the occipital ridge.

DURATION: This treatment can be done for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, several times a day until comfort is achieved.

Caution: Tie up long hair to ensure that it is not caught in the motor of the massager.

foot massager

techniques to maximize your MedMassager™ experience
Unlike less sophisticated massagers, the MedMassager™ foot massager doesn’t vibrate. It oscillates to give you the best massage possible.

NOTE: When first starting to use your MedMassager™ unit, we recommend you begin on the lowest speed setting and then gradually try higher settings to your preference of comfort and relief.

• When finished, turn the switch back to the OFF position and unplug the unit. The unit may emit a buzzing sound when left plugged in, even with the speed knob on the off position This is normal operation since the unit is always on “standby mode” when plugged in.

using the foot massager

•  Place the foot massager on a hard, firm surface. Carpeting is recommended or the use of a rug may be necessary when using the massager on wooden or ceramic flooring.
• Turn the massager on, starting with the lowest speed. Place your feet (with socks on or with shoes on) onto the foot pad. You can then adjust the speed to a comfortable setting.
• You can use the arch bar on the top of the foot pad for added stimulation of the toes, arch, and heel.
• Rocking the massager forward allows you to stimulate the calf area and shins more effectively.
• DO NOT STAND ON THE MASSAGER.
  Irreparable damage will be inflicted on internal parts.

maintenance

• Turn the massager to the OFF position and unplug the unit.
• To clean the pad, use a moistened towel with a light amount of natural detergent or a baby wipe. Harsh detergents, abrasives, chlorine, and solvents will damage the surface of the unit and are not recommended.
• DO NOT attempt to clean or lubricate the internal parts.
• The power cord should always be untangled and free of any knots to avoid electrocution or fire.
• For storage, coil the cord around the unit and store it in a cool, dry, lint and dust-free place.

service of double-insulated products

In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated product, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated product is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED.” The symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the product.

Reflexology What is reflexology?

Reflexology is a therapy based on the principle that there are small and specific areas of innervation in the hands and feet that correspond to specific muscle groups or organs of the body. In this system, the nerve endings in the extremities provide a “map” of the rest of the body; i.e., the base of the little toe represents the ear, or the ball of the foot represents the lung. By applying pressure on particular areas of the hands or feet, reflexology is said to promote benefits such as the relaxation of muscles, easing of tensions, and improved circulation. This type of therapy also supports the normalized function of each corresponding area of the body.

how MedMassager™ can help
The MedMassager™ is very effective at stimulating the nerve endings found in your feet or hands. Based on the principles of reflexology, it is conceivable that massaging your feet or hands regularly with our massagers can affect all these reflex spots simultaneously. It’s no wonder that when you finish a MedMassager™ session you will feel invigorated and ready
to take on the world.

how to practice reflexology at home
Using the charts on the following cards, identify the reflexology point on your foot or hand that is linked to the area of discomfort. Apply gentle pressure to that area. The pressure you apply to these spots will stimulate your body to create endorphins that interrupt the pain cycle and relieve stress. The pressure you apply should feel firm, but not painful. Use your fingers and thumbs to gently work the area for several minutes.
