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 RBI you have a modern device for
genuine Shiatsu style back massages.
The MEDISANA Shiatsu massage seat cover RBI has four rotating 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 an infrared 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
