2 Useful Information / 3 Operating
Shiatsu is a traditional pressure massage technique from the Far East that can
be used to stimulate and relax you, from your neck right down to the soles of
your feet.
Shiatsu massage predominantly uses finger pressure to relieve tenseness and
have a harmonising effect on body and mind. Pressure can be exerted statical-
ly, dynamically, on individual points or on wider areas.
The MEDISANA SKM Shiatsu massager features two rotating massage heads
equipped with an additional vibration function. The combination of vibration
and pressure helps loosen up tense muscles. The pressure and vibration mas-
sage functions can be activated individually or in combination.
Before plugging in the power plug, pay attention that the function levers for
rotation and vibration

On the left-hand side of the unit you will find two switches
the rotation and vibration functions. You can slide both switches to the left and
the right of the central position. When in the central position, the respective
function is switched off. Both functions can be activated separately or in combi-
nation.
Setting rotation
If you slide the rotation selector switch
will rotate forwards. If the switch is moved to the right position, the heads
rotate backwards.
Setting vibration
Slide the selector switch
gently. Moving the switch to the right of the central position will give you a
stronger vibration.
You can perform a massage either on yourself or on a partner. Switch on the
unit and place it on the part of the body to be massaged. Do not exert any
pressure, just gently apply the massage heads to the part of the body being
treated. The rhythmic massaging motion and the vibration of the massage
heads will help loosen up the muscles. Should you find the massage pressure
too strong, you can cover the massage heads with a towel or turn down the
massage intensity. To massage the neck region, arms or lower leg, place the
unit on a firm and stable surface, cover the massage heads with a towel and
place the part of the body to be treated directly on or between the massage
heads.
• Treat the parts of the body you wish to massage for 1-3 minutes each.
• A single treatment session should not last for more than 10 - 15 minutes.
• Massage treatment should always be a pleasant experience. If you ex-
perience any pain or discomfort during massage, please stop treatment and
consult your doctor.
