Shiatsu
Massage
Shiatsu massage was developed when the Japanese combined principles
of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with principles of acupuncture.
The word “shiatsu” derives from the root words, “shi”
meaning finger, and “atsu” the word for pressure. Shiatsu
massage implements a rhythmical massage to alter the flow of Ki into
a healthier, stress free flow.
The Shiatsu massage focuses on key points called acupoints. 350 acupoints
are spread along the body's 12 Meridians. The neck and back contain
90 of these points leaving the rest spread throughout the body.
Swedish Massage
“Swedish Massage” is a general term which describes many
massage techniques which use different types of strokes. It is more
gentle than Shiatsu massage but shares many of the same benefits.
There are many types of Swedish massage. The most prevalent type is
called “Effleurage.” It implements a long, smooth stroking
massage motion. Another popular type of Swedish massage is “Petrissage”
which implements a kneading movement. Some techniques implement tapping,
stretching, circular movements of the palm and quick body vibrations.
Rolling Massage
Rolling is a Massage function used to help relieve pressure on intervertebral
disks. It accomplishes this by stretching the spine, allowing it to
retain its natural curvature. Panasonic
Massage Loungers come equipped with a Rolling Massage function for
that purpose.
Follows Your Natural Curves
The Panasonic Massage Lounger is built to follow the curve of your spine
for a more pleasurable massage. The curve is more outstanding on the
upper portion of the Panasonic Massage Lounger. The result is that blood
is pushed toward the heart and blood flow is increased. Plus, with a
30 inch stroke length, this chair can gently stretch vertebrae from
the neck to the lower back.
Exclusive Technology for Extremely Realistic Massage
Panasonic massage chairs offer the kneading function through patented
gear technology. Panasonic analyzed the finger function of top professional
massage therapists and duplicated their movement. Each massage head
is like the thumb of a massage therapist; gentle on the skin yet firm
and effective. Kneading movements are applied both in upward and downward
strokes, to push blood toward the heart and increase circulation.
Tapping Massage
Bad circulation leaves muscles with depleted oxygen supplies and starved
for nutrients. Tension, headaches, neck and shoulder pain is your body’s
way of telling you about poor circulation. If it is not treated, tension
can spread and muscles can harden, which generates pain in other areas.
The tapping function of a massage chair increases blood flow. Increased
blood flow allows more oxygen to flow through the body, relieving tension,
bodily pain and headaches. It also moves nutrients throughout the body
and assists with the removal of waste.
Panasonic massage chairs can deliver 500 beats per minute to work
out muscle tension. The results are felt immediately through the invigorating
feeling after a tapping massage.
Four Styles of Massage
The Advanced Quad-Style Massage System features massage heads that open
and close for four styles of massage. They also come as far as four
inches out from the chair.
The four styles of massage are:
• Shiatsu
• Kneading
• Swedish
• Grasping
1,117 Different Massage Modes
From the four massage styles 1,117 massage modes arise. These 1,117
massage modes, combined with control over massage speed and intensity
offer virtually infinite types of massage feelings.
