What is vibromassage used for?

Vibromassage is one of the types of hardware massage. The effect on the body is carried out due to the vibration produced, which irritates receptors on the surface of the skin, inside organs, as well as in tendons and muscles.

Vibromassage is performed not only using special equipment for local vibration, but also various massage chairs and beds are used, the effects of which have a beneficial effect on the entire body. The popularity of this type of massage is growing every day. It is due to the fact that a fairly simple effect on the body can completely relieve physical and psychological fatigue, fatigue after a hard day at work, and also increase performance.

2. common infectious diseases
3. cardiovascular failure grade 2-3
4. hypertonic disease
5. malignant neoplasms
6. spinal injuries

Vibration massage technique

Typically, massage is performed in two ways:

1. labile - the massager is moved around the body with slow movements, pressing tightly to the skin;
2. stable - the massager is placed in one place without moving to achieve a local effect.

Methods of influence

In practice, various vibration massage techniques are used:

1. straight
2. zigzag
3. circular
4. spiral
5. transverse
6. streak-shaped

Performing a straight-line technique, the massager moves in a straight line along the lymphatic system. The movements are performed with minimal pressure, moving easily and smoothly throughout the body.

The zigzag technique has a more intense effect than the straight one. The massager moves from side to side in a zigzag pattern. During a spiral massage, rubbing and kneading techniques are performed.

The nozzle can be located vertically, horizontally or tangentially in relation to the body. When positioned vertically, the nozzle presses the muscles against the bone tissue. The horizontal position has a softer effect. When performing horizontal techniques, vibrations of the muscles and skin occur in the horizontal plane. The tangential position of the nozzle acts with low intensity. The intensity can be increased by increasing the pressure of the nozzle on the massaging area.

Depending on what result is needed in the end and what nature of the process, the place where vibration massage is applied is selected. This can be a massage of the face, abdomen, back, chest and so on. The abdominal area should be treated with special care. It is performed only with the permission of a doctor, 1.5 hours after lunch. This type of massage copes well with cellulite.

The number of procedures, their duration and intensity of impact are determined by the type of disease, as well as the body’s general reaction to the massage. As a rule, sessions are carried out every other day, but if the procedure is well tolerated and the results are positive, sessions are allowed to be performed 2-3 times in a row. Typically, 10-15 procedures are performed to obtain the desired result.

Vibrating facial massage helps to cope with the first signs of aging, eliminate fine wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity. Your complexion will improve and begin to glow from within. Before use, be sure to consult a cosmetologist.

Vibrating massagers

Devices for vibration massage are divided into:

1. manual
2. attached to the body
3. portable
4. rack-mount
5. stationary

There are quite a few types of vibration devices. Their shape depends on where the massage will be performed and the area of ​​the massaged surface. In practice, spherical, flat, concave and other shapes are used. There are also devices used at home.

As a rule, flat devices have the largest surface area. They are recommended to be used for massaging large areas. For massage in the recesses of the body, it is most convenient to use ball nozzles, and for convex surfaces of the body - concave nozzles.

For a delicate and careful effect, it is recommended to use rubber or sponge attachments. A hemispherical nozzle is used to target the area of ​​joints, ligaments and tendons. If you need to achieve a more intense and energetic effect, in this case solid vibrating massagers are used.
