Slendertone Total Body Massage
This hands free, easy to use product gives you 6 different massage programmes for a unique massage experience whenever you need it.
Slendertone Total Body Massage is like having your very own massage therapist on demand - melting away muscle tension, pain and fatigue, leaving you relaxed and revived.
Slendertone Total Body Massage uses Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology to gently and safely contract and relax your muscles, for a perfect massage treatment.
The Total Body Massage is a transcutaneous electrical stimulator that uses both TENS and EMS programmes which produce a massage-like effect. It is intended to be used for pain relief, post exercise recovery and muscle conditioning. It can be used on the following body areas: upper back, lower back, shoulder, abs, bottom, front and back of thighs, calf muscles and upper arms.
The Total Body Massage has 6 Rejuvenating massage Programmes:
Kneading Massage
One of the main benefits of a kneading massage is relaxation; most people
will benefit and experience a general feeling of well being. This
programme gently warms up the muscles prior to the massage. It uses a
technique called 'twitch potentiation' to prepare muscle fibres for sport or
exercise. It feels like a rhythmic massage.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones. It is said that a Swedish massage is good for treating insomnia, general tension and headaches. This programme produces muscle twitches at very low frequency and it feels like a tapping massage. This stimulates blood flow and helps speed up the removal of lactic acid as it accelerates the exchange between the blood supply and the muscle fibres. As a result, the muscles recover more quickly from fatigue, becoming more relaxed with reduced stiffness. Use this programme after intense exercise to promote recovery and relaxation.
Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu massage is used to stimulate the body's natural flow of energy, helping to restore a sense of ballance and well being. It feels like a tapping massage, but is a little softer, it starts off as a faster tapping sensation and slows down to a slower sensation leaveing you feeling relaxed. Pressure is applied to the areas of energy lines (meridians) to promote good health by stimulating the body's energy flow.
Deep Tissue Massage
A deep tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. Deep tissue or sports massage is a common means of treating musculoskeletal disorders and can be performed on the full body or tailored to treat a specific area or injury. As well as improved circulation, pain reduction and relaxation, deep tissue massage is effective for injuries such as lower back pain and strains and is a fantastic aid to postural imbalances. This form of stimulation activates the muscles in a rhythmic motion in a short contraction/relaxation cycle. It feels like a kneading massage.
Athlete's Massage
Athlete's massage is a form of massage typically used before, during and
after athletic events. The purpose of the massage is to prepare the
athlete for peak performance, to promote flexibility and to prevent injury.
It can then be used after exercise to drain toxins from the muscles, to relieve
fatigue and swelling and to reduce muscle tension. This programme uses a
low frequency pulse train, which favours slow twitch fibres. It develops
their aerobic capacity and capillary supply and thereby improves fatigue
resistance during long-duration, moderate-intensity exercise.
Power Massage
This programme uses a pulse frequency appropriate to fast twitch muscle fibres. It improves their anaerobic capacity and is used for improving maximum muscle strength. The massage comprises a sequence of work phases separated by longer relaxation phases.
