What gives the skin vibration massages. Features, indications and contraindications for the use of vibration massage

I would like to touch on the topic of one promising physiotherapeutic area - vibration massage. With proper use, and most importantly, with the right dosage, vibration massage can give good results for healing the body. The first mention of this method of treatment dates back to the 19th century, then the work of the legs and hands was used, and later electricity. The founder of hardware massage can be considered G. Zander, who developed a set of exercises based on mechanical action.

Empirically found that vibration has a certain effect on the human body. The correct dosage of this effect can lead to positive results in terms of treatment. But an overdose, on the contrary, can cause a deterioration in the general condition of the organs and the body as a whole. Therefore, it is very important to study the vibration massage technique in detail before you start using it. The following sections of our article should just help you with this.

We understand the technology of vibration massage

Let's find out together what vibration massage is and what it is used for. Vibromassage is based on the effect of vibration on the nerve endings of the skin, which provokes a response of the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems. Fluctuations of different frequencies and amplitudes affect the excitability of the nerves in different ways, for example, with fluctuations of low or medium intensity, the sensitivity of the nerves increases, and with a strong one, it decreases. So moderate vibration is useful for paralysis or inhibited reaction of nerve endings, and strong, on the contrary, for convulsions or neuralgia.

Vibromassage has a noticeable effect on the condition of the skin and muscle tissue. In the process of vibrational vibrations, blood vessels expand, blood flow increases, cells are saturated with oxygen - all this leads to an increase in working capacity, increased blood circulation, the disappearance of edema and a decrease in the manifestations of cellulite. Stabilization of the sebaceous glands has a positive effect on the elasticity of the skin and its general appearance. With regular vibration massage of the buttocks and thighs, cellulite is noticeably reduced, the "orange peel" disappears.

As we have already said, vibration massage in inept hands can adversely affect your health. Below is a list of several mandatory requirements that must be met when using this treatment method:

Do not lubricate the areas of the skin to be treated with fat, except for the need to work out the muscles of the deep layers.
Vibromassage sessions of the abdomen, lower back and legs are performed lying down, in other cases - sitting.
The amplitude and frequency of exposure should be increased gradually, starting with small fluctuations.
The duration of vibration exposure should not be more than 3-5 minutes during the first treatment procedures and 10 minutes during the last ones.
Vibratory massage sessions are prescribed every other day, with a clear improvement and reduction of pain in the affected areas, the procedure can be performed daily.

When is vibration massage useful and when is it harmful?

Vibromassage is prescribed for the following types of diseases:

Radiculitis and osteochondrosis
Intestinal dyskinesia and chronic biliary tract disease
Bronchial asthma, but not in the acute stage
Pneumonia in remission
polyarthritis and obesity
Disorders of the nervous system
Preparing for physical activity and fixing the result after them.

Also, massage with the help of vibration does an excellent job of accelerating post-stroke rehabilitation.
But there are a number of diseases and conditions under which vibration massage can harm your body or worsen the course of existing diseases, namely:

High fever and fever in the acute stage - massage can provoke convulsions
Inflammation of the skin (eczema, purulent processes) - the spread of inflammation in the deep layers of the dermis
Rickets and lymphadenitis - fractures and serious bone injuries are possible
Hemophilia and hemorrhagic diathesis - possible internal bleeding
Acute hepatitis and tuberculosis in the active stage
Hypertension and congenital heart disease
Vascular diseases (vein thrombosis, varicose veins, aneurysm)
vibration disease.

Devices for vibromassage procedure

Nowadays, all devices for vibromassage are powered by electricity or batteries. According to the type of vibration, they are divided into devices with local vibration and with general vibration. In the first case, this is a massage chair, bed and vibration platform, in the second case, a vibration massager. We will talk about it in more detail.

Almost any vibratory massager is sold complete with several nozzles, different in size and shape. But before choosing, you should decide which parts of the body you plan to expose. For convex areas, you will need concave nozzles, for sunken ones - spherical nozzles, and for the head - nozzles with latex processes. You should also consider the material from which the nozzle is made: for a light impact, a rubber nozzle is used, and for a deeper one, a plastic one. Also, vibratory massagers differ in the frequency of oscillations. Another important feature of vibromassage devices is the ability to displace, twist and stretch the tissues of the treated areas of the body.

The range of vibration massagers on the Russian market is quite large. You can find a massager, the principle of which is based only on vibration, or a vibrating massager that combines infrared radiation in addition to vibrations. And many manufacturers position their product as appliances for home use. For example, the Relax Tone vibration massager is designed to reduce body fat and tighten the skin and can be used at home. According to the manufacturers, the results will be noticeable after 14-20 days of use. But before using any vibratory massager, read the instructions yourself, but rather talk to your doctor in order to avoid unforeseen consequences.

Vibration massage can be performed with an electric massager or with the hands of a massage therapist.

Manual vibration massage

Description of the technique: during vibration, the massage therapist uses fast oscillatory and jerky movements that cause tissue shaking.

Effect on the body. A slight shaking of the tissues has a calming effect on the nervous system, and an intense one excites. Vibration vibrations have an analgesic effect, which should be used for injuries.

Vibration massage techniques improve the movement of lymph, interstitial fluid and venous blood, increasing muscle contractility. Reception stimulates the work of the adrenal cortex, activates regeneration and reduces the time of formation of callus. The shaking of tissues that occurs in response to vibration increases intestinal motility, and improves the functioning of the stomach and intestines.

There are several varieties of vibration manual massage: shaking, felting and vibration.

On the image: shaking with the whole palm in the back.

Shaking technique- the hand is superimposed across the course of the muscle fibers, slightly presses on the muscle and produces small amplitude, but maximum frequency oscillations (more than 4 per 1 second) from side to side, that is, across the muscle fibers moving forward and backward along the massaged area.

On medium and small muscles (shin, shoulder, and so on), shaking is performed with fingers. The thumb is located on one side, the rest on the other, and quick movements of the hand from side to side are performed along the muscle fibers.

On the image: felting in the shoulder area.

Felting technique. The massaged area is captured from both sides with the palms, slightly compressed, and both hands alternately make quick movements back and forth or up and down while moving along the muscle fibers. The palms should not slide over the skin, but squeeze and rub the muscle between the palms.

This massage technique is convenient to use on the arms and legs.

Vibration technique. This technique is characterized by oscillatory movements carried out with the maximum frequency with the tips of one or two fingers, or with all fingers clenched into a fist. Finger vibration is usually performed along the nerve trunks or at acupuncture points.

On the image: point vibration on the lower leg.

On large muscles, the reception is performed with the base of the palm or fist.

Performing vibration, the massage therapist directs the efforts of an oscillatory nature into the depths of the tissues. Reception is usually repeated several times.

The most common mistakes when performing vibration massage:

1. large amplitude and non-maximal rate of oscillatory movements;

2. when shaking and wallowing, the movement is not made across the muscle fibers, as it should be done, but in other directions;

Contraindications for vibration massage, both manual and mechanized, are the same as for classical massage.

Vibration massage with electric massagers

Recently, there has been a wide distribution of electric massagers of various appearance and designed to massage different parts of the body (face, feet, legs, back, and so on). The main massage technique used by mechanical massagers is vibration. But we must remember that manual vibration and vibration with the help of a massager differ in their effect on the body.

Vibration massage. Vibration therapy, as one of the oldest methods of apparatus physiotherapy, developed in accordance with the technical capabilities of a particular period. Initially, vibrators were set in motion manually: like foot sewing machines or even with the help of tuning forks of various designs.

According to the principle of vibration generation, modern electric massagers can be divided into:

1) electromotive - through an eccentric;

2) electromagnetic - when an alternating electric current passes through an electromagnet;

3) pneumatic - due to variable air pressure;

4) hydraulic - due to the variable water pressure created by the compressor.

In modern devices for vibration massage, electric motors are most often used. The defining features of vibration are the amplitude and frequency of vibrations. First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to these indicators when choosing a massager and treatment modes, since the response of the body primarily depends on them.

Oscillation amplitude- this is the deviation of the point from a stable position (in mm). The larger it is, the deeper the vibrations penetrate into the tissues. The amplitude of oscillations depends on the degree of pressing the massager to the patient's body, and on the size of the rollers of the massager that directly press on the skin.

Oscillation frequency is the number of times the point moves through the steady state positions per unit time. It is measured in hertz. Hertz is one complete oscillation in 1 second. In practice, frequencies of the sound range from 16 to 2000 Hz are used.

For example, at a frequency of 100 Hz, an increase in blood pressure and an increase in heart rate are more often observed, and at lower frequencies, a decrease in blood pressure and the pulse becomes less frequent.

The vascular, muscular and nervous (in particular autonomic) systems are most sensitive to the action of vibration manual and electromassage.

Under the influence of mechanical vibrations, a feeling of warmth appears at the site of exposure, redness of the skin occurs and the temperature rises. After the first procedure, oxygen absorption by muscle tissue and working capacity increase, redox processes in the body are activated. Vibration massage with the help of an electric massager tones the nervous system, improves metabolic processes and the activity of the gastrointestinal tract.

The nature of the body's response to vibration exposure depends not only on the frequency and amplitude of mechanical vibrations, the duration of exposure, but also on the localization of exposure.

In the modern world, devices for local vibration massage have become widespread. There are several reasons for this: such devices are quite cheap, take up little space, are easy to use, and what is very important - local vibration has not only a local, but also a reflex effect, affecting organs and systems located far from the impact site.

Vibromassage with the help of an electric massager can be carried out according to a labile or stable method. The labile technique consists in the fact that the source of vibration constantly moves without leaving the skin of the massaged area, usually along the lymph flow, that is, to the nearest lymph nodes. According to a stable method, the vibration source is in one place for several seconds to several minutes.

Vibratory massage can be carried out daily, every other day or 2-3 times in a row, followed by a one-day break. The optimal exposure time for one area is from 3 to 5 minutes. The number of massage sessions is determined individually and depends on the general condition of the body and its response to the action of vibration, usually 10 - 15 sessions.

Combined massage is also effective, that is, a combination of manual massage with vibration massage with an electric massager. Its methodology is as follows: after manual techniques of stroking, rubbing, kneading, vibration is applied for 1-3 minutes on one area. The session ends with other manual massage techniques.

Mechanical vibration, having a strong reflex effect, significantly complements and deepens the physiological effect of manual massage.

History of vibration massage

Even in Ancient Greece and Rome, special scrapers were used - arcuately curved pieces of wood 5-7 centimeters long with coils at the end, rotating during the massage and pressing on the skin and underlying tissues of a person during movement.

The famous doctor Asklepiad was the initiator and propagandist of vibrational massage and self-massage, recommending various kinds of concussions. He also introduced massage with jets of falling water, which became the ancestor of modern hydromassage. Hippocrates used the vibration of a sounding tuning fork, bringing it to a diseased part of the body.

The impact of massage manipulations on the human body

Everyone knows that massage is good for health, but the fact is that each person has his own health, unique and inimitable. Massage affects all human organs and systems, and the response should be taken into account not only by the specialist, but also by the patient himself. First of all, this must be done in order to realistically evaluate the effect of massage.

Technique of massage movements

Massage has existed for many millennia and during this time the technique of movements of a specialist has been thoroughly worked out. It is by observing this technique that the massage therapist can benefit the patient.

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

Vibromassage is performed not only with the help of special equipment for local vibration, but also various massage chairs and beds are used, the effect of which has a beneficial effect on the whole body. The popularity of this is growing every day. It is due to the fact that a fairly simple impact on the body is able to fully remove physical and psychological fatigue, fatigue after a hard day's work, as well as increase efficiency.

Vibromassage can eliminate cosmetic defects

Indications for use

In addition to the excellent relaxing effect, this procedure is used for various diseases. Indications for vibration massage are:

diseases of the peripheral nervous system
infectious polyarthritis
diseases of the musculoskeletal system
recovery of the body after injuries and fractures
chronic asthma
Chronical bronchitis
some types of gynecological diseases

In addition, massage has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, so it is often used for therapeutic, prophylactic and cosmetic purposes. By means of vibromassage, a significant improvement in the activity of the cardiovascular system is observed.

Contraindications

Do not forget that before starting treatment with this type of massage, you should definitely consult a doctor, because there are a number of contraindications that must be taken into account:

thrombophlebitis
common infectious diseases
cardiovascular insufficiency of 2-3 degrees
hypertonic disease
malignant neoplasms
spinal injury
active forms of tuberculosis
pronounced neuroses

Vibration massage technique

As a rule, massage is performed in two ways:

labile - the massager is moved through the body with slow movements, tightly pressing against the skin;
stable - the massager is installed in one place without moving in order to achieve a local effect.

Methods of influence

In practice, various methods of vibration massage are used:

rectilinear
zigzag
circular
spiral
transverse
dashed

Performing a straightforward technique, the massager moves in a straight line, along the course of the lymphatic system. Movements are performed with minimal pressure, moving easily and smoothly through the body.

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

The nozzle can be located in relation to the body vertically, horizontally or tangentially. With a vertical arrangement, the nozzle presses the muscles to the bone tissue. The horizontal arrangement has a softer effect. Performing horizontal techniques, muscle and skin vibrations occur in a horizontal plane. The tangential location of the nozzle acts with little intensity. The intensity can be increased if the nozzle pressure on the massaging area is increased.

Depending on what result you need to get in the end and what the nature of the process is, the place of impact of vibration massage is chosen. It could be breasts and so on. The abdominal area must be treated with extreme caution. It is performed only with the permission of the doctor, 1.5 hours after lunch. Well this type of massage copes with.

The number of procedures, their duration and intensity of exposure is determined by the type of disease, as well as the general reaction of the body to massage. As a rule, sessions are carried out every other day, but in case of good tolerability of the procedure and positive results, it is allowed to perform sessions 2-3 times in a row. Usually, 10-15 procedures are performed to obtain the desired result.

Vibromassage of the face helps to cope with the first signs of aging, eliminate fine wrinkles, improve skin elasticity. The complexion will improve and begin to shine from the inside. Before use, be sure to consult a beautician.

Vibrating massagers

Vibration massage devices are divided into:

manual
attached to the body
portable
rack
stationary

There are many types of vibrators. Their shape depends on where the massage will be performed and what 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. It is they who 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 - nozzles of a concave shape.

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

There is no need to reinvent the wheel, looking for ways to combat diseases and aging of the body. Many of them are prompted by nature itself, you just need to correctly interpret its signs. Take at least the vibrations that do not stop for a second in our body. Without them, the heart will stop pushing blood through the vessels, the lymph flow will stop, which will cause excessive accumulation of toxins and toxins, the stomach will refuse to digest food, we cannot even speak without trembling of the vocal cords. It turns out that oscillatory movements of a certain intensity are very important for the normal functioning of the body. Man has long guessed to use them for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. Vibration massage has become the most popular method.

During the procedure, the specialist hands or with the help of special equipment transmits oscillatory movements of different frequencies to the human body. As a result of such manipulations:

The nerve receptors located in the skin are irritated, activating the activity of the internal organs reflexively associated with them.
There is an effect on the muscles, the fibers of which get rid of tension and stretch. As a result, spasms and clamps weaken, tissue performance increases.
The functioning of the cardiovascular system is normalized: blood flow improves, blood pressure stabilizes. Moreover, low-frequency vibrations lower it, and high-frequency vibrations, on the contrary, increase it, accelerating the heartbeat.
The body begins to increase the production of endorphins - special substances that help get rid of pain.
The keratinized scales of the epidermis are removed, the work of the sebaceous and sweat glands is activated, the flow of oxygen and nutrients increases several times, which helps to improve the appearance and relief of the skin.
There is a stimulation of metabolic processes.
The sputum accumulated as a result of inflammation or infection is softened and removed from the respiratory tract.

Taking into account the effective healing effect, the procedure is prescribed for:

respiratory diseases: asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, pleurisy, pneumonia, cough;
problems with the intestines and stomach: gastritis, dyskinesia, inflammatory processes;
pathologies of the musculoskeletal system: osteochondrosis, intervertebral hernias, convulsions, spondylosis, consequences of fractures;
deviations in the work of the central and peripheral parts of the nervous system: convulsive or inhibited states, neuralgia and even paralysis.

Vibration technique is used to massage various parts of the body, but for greater efficiency, special attention is paid to painful and segmental-reflex zones, as well as biologically active points.

Manual vibration massage: techniques and technique

It is known that with inept handling, even the most effective remedy can turn into poison. Massage is no exception. Do not proceed with the procedure until you have undergone a thorough medical examination and consulted with your doctor. Only he will help to exclude the presence of contraindications and select the most appropriate technique for you.

Thematic material:

Anyone can learn how to perform manual vibration massage, the main thing is to master the basic techniques of exposure and adhere to the special rules for conducting a wellness procedure:

Set the most appropriate position for the patient's body. It is better to massage the back, stomach and legs while lying down, the chest - in the knee-elbow position, the rest of the body - while sitting.
Do not use cosmetic or massage lubricants: the masseur's hands will slide off the surface of the skin, which will significantly weaken the therapeutic effect.
Start the procedure with stroking and rubbing. These movements will warm up the tissues and prepare them for a more active study.
In the main part of the session, combine the technique of continuous and intermittent vibration, alternating it with light stroking.
Adjust the strength of the oscillation depending on the desired result. This can be done using the angle of the fingers: the closer it is to 90 0, the stronger and deeper the study of the surface.
Back massage is performed from the bottom up, excluding the spine and kidneys.
Exposure to the stomach can be harmful, so check with your doctor first. You need to be 100% sure that there are no stones in the kidneys and gallbladder. During the procedure, movements are directed from the navel in a clockwise direction.
The legs and arms are massaged, moving from the fingers up.
Finish the session with the same rubbing and light stroking.

Manipulations can be performed with fingers, fists or the edge of the palm. In this case, the following methods are applied.

Continuous vibration(performed without taking your hands off the patient's body):

It is important to perform continuous exposure correctly, otherwise the massage therapist himself runs the risk of earning discomfort, muscle spasm and cramps that reduce fingers. These movements are trained by acting on a small surface, in the center of which a glass of water is placed. With a properly performed vibration, the liquid remains practically motionless, and in case of incorrect exposure, it splashes out.

Intermittent vibration:

The manual method of vibration massage is good because the specialist feels the state of body tissues and has the ability to adjust the intensity and change the methods of exposure. Pain and discomfort in the problem area usually go away after 2-3 sessions. The expediency of continuing the procedure should be considered by the doctor.

Hardware vibration therapy

Even the most skilled massage therapist's fingers sometimes get tired, especially if you need to perform monotonous continuous movements for a long time. At this moment, special devices come to the rescue, replacing human hands and performing monotonous work. The first such device was created back in the 19th century in Sweden for the treatment of neuralgia. Since then, a lot of time has passed, massagers have become more diverse, more perfect and widely spread throughout the world. Today, every salon offers vibrotherapy sessions using special devices.

Cellutec

The device was developed by the American corporation General Physiotherapy Inc. This stationary vibro-impact unit is equipped with various applicators, which allows using almost all known techniques, including thermal and cryomassage. The system is designed so that the applicators simultaneously act on the problem area in two directions:

The created shock-vibration movements under a certain pressure affect the skin, deep tissues, muscles and even fluid in the human body, which leads to amazing results:

there is a cleansing of toxins and toxins;
blood flow is stimulated;
improves the appearance and turgor of the skin;
signs of cellulite disappear;
there is a reflex effect on the internal organs;
the pain subsides;
muscle tone decreases;
excess weight goes away;
slow down the aging process;
markedly improved psychological mood.

Thanks to these results, Cellutec therapy has become widespread in sports clubs, spas and various health centers.

Vibramatic

This mobile massage complex, produced by the same American corporation General Physiotherapy Inc. Massagers of this variety have a variety of interchangeable nozzles and are designed for the following types of massage:

therapeutic, for diseases of internal organs and during the rehabilitation period;
segmental-reflex;
periosteal;
sports;
point;
percussion;
lymphatic drainage;
cryomassage.

The complex is especially effective in combating respiratory diseases. Procedures using this device, which allow for postural drainage, are prescribed for both children and the elderly. Two components enhance the vibration massage effect:

vertical helps soften the accumulated secret and separate it from the walls of the respiratory tract;
horizontal promotes its removal from the bronchi.

The Vibramatic massage complex control program allows you to choose between vibration and percussion (tapping) effects and alternate them in any sequence and intensity. The procedure is considered completely safe, since the patient's condition is constantly monitored during the session.

This vibrating device is made in the form of a pillow and is intended for the treatment of a number of diseases of the urogenital area in men and women. It removes:

problems with the prostate;
bladder pathology;
enuresis;
chronic pelvic pain;
vaginal dysfunction;
vulvovaginitis;
congestion of the veins of the small pelvis.

The therapeutic effect of the device "Avim-1" is a pulsating magnetic field, combined with thermal exposure. Massage is carried out in a sitting position, while the patient himself has the ability to adjust the strength of vibration and thermal radiation thanks to a convenient remote control. Fluctuations are transmitted not only to the pelvic region, but also above. As a result, venous congestion decreases, capillary blood flow increases, swelling and inflammation go away.

Outwardly, the device resembles an ordinary massage couch. But rollers are built into it, which work through each element of the spinal column. Rubbing, kneading, pressing are repeated up to 300 times per session. In addition, the rollers also vibrate, complicating the trajectory of impact on the back surface. As a result, the back either tenses or relaxes again, correcting the position of the vertebrae. In addition, lactic acid breaks down in overtrained muscles, their fibers become elastic and stretched, breathing levels out, heart rate and pressure normalize, and the nervous system calms down.

"Ormed-relax" is indicated for:

protrusions;
intervertebral hernias;
scoliosis;
osteochondrosis.

The procedure is suitable for adults and children from 6 years of age.

swing machine

A spinal simulator that is very popular today, the action of which is based on the classic “goldfish” exercise, borrowed from Japanese health-improving gymnastics. The device is a special support for the legs, which begins to vibrate, transmitting wave-like vibrations to the spine. As a result, the muscles of the back and abdomen are stretched, blood circulation and lymph flow improve, the body receives more oxygen.

The procedure is very simple to perform. You only need:

lie on the floor or other flat and hard surface;
place the shins on special supports provided for in the swing;
relax completely.

The sensations during the massage are very pleasant: wave-like movements are replaced by a feeling of relaxation and stretching in the muscles. But you should not force things: the first lesson on the swing machine should last no longer than 5 minutes, then you can gradually increase the procedure time to a quarter of an hour.

hivamat

This device affects the human body with the help of electrostatic impulses. Moreover, not only the surface layers are worked out, but also deep fat deposits, connective tissue and even blood vessels.

Oscillatory movements, attraction and shaking are felt by the patient when the masseur either brings his hands in special gloves to the body, then moves them away. The indication for the use of the technique is:

muscle weakness;
pain syndrome of different origin;
damage to the skin and tissues;
pathology of the respiratory system: asthma, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis;
osteoporosis;
arthritis;
obesity, cellulite.

Interestingly, the procedure with the Khivamat system helps a lot to heal bruises, scars and scars, including postoperative scars, by stimulating the formation of new cells.

During the session, adhere to the following algorithm of actions:

The problem area is exposed.
The skin is sprinkled with talcum powder so that it is completely dry.
The patient picks up a special neutralizing plate.
The masseur puts on gloves connected to a panel that generates electrical impulses.
Treatment of the problem area consists in simply touching, stroking, rubbing and kneading the surface.
After the procedure, the skin is cleansed and a soothing agent is applied.

The number of sessions and their intensity is determined by the doctor based on the patient's condition. The cost of the procedure depends on the massaged area, duration and intensity of exposure. On average, the price per session ranges from 500 to 3500 rubles, but the high cost is more than compensated by excellent results, as evidenced by the many positive reviews left by grateful patients.

Oleg, 45 years old. After the injury, severe back pain began. I didn’t sleep at night: it ached and pulled me to tears. I went to doctors, even turned to healers - nothing helped. A friend recommended taking the Ormed Relax course. I didn't really believe in all these newfangled things. But there was no limit to my surprise when, after 5 sessions, I suddenly felt better. The pain has dulled, sleep has returned, and with it a good mood. An effective procedure for unloading the back. I recommend.

Irina, 54 years old. Last fall, she became very ill - she caught an infection that developed into obstructive bronchitis. The cough just tormented me: there was pain in the chest, shortness of breath. The doctor prescribed a course of Vibramatic. After 3 procedures, a wet cough appeared and sputum began to depart. A week later, I completely forgot about my problem. Thanks to the Vibramatic complex.

Rules for the use of massage devices

At home, you can also organize sessions of hardware vibration therapy. To do this, it is enough to purchase one of the massagers, in a wide range of medical equipment presented on the modern market. These can be manual, portable or stationary devices (for example, an Ogulov massager or a Su-Jok kit). They not only have an effective therapeutic effect, but also help relieve physical and psychological fatigue, increase efficiency and mood. With their help, massage is performed in two ways:

Labile. When the device, tightly pressed against the skin, slowly moves throughout the area.
stable. When the impact is strictly directed to one point.

Movements are made:

rectilinearly, along the lymph flow;
transverse;
dashed;
zigzag, with great pressure;
round;
in a spiral, rubbing and kneading movements.

Nozzles can be located at different angles to the surface to be treated: vertical ones carry out the most intense impact, and tangential ones - the most gentle. When conducting hardware massage, it is worth remembering its basic rules:

We prepare the body by stroking and kneading it with our hands.
We apply a special gel on the rollers of the device, which will facilitate sliding over the body.
First of all, with circular and rectilinear movements towards the lymph nodes for 5–10 minutes, we work out the back.
Then we massage the hands for 2-3 minutes, moving from the fingers to the elbow and above, to the armpits.
Later we move on to the lower back and buttocks, directing movements to the groin.
We start the foot massage from the back of the thigh, moving from the heel to the knee and above, to the inguinal region. We also process the front surface from the bottom up, not forgetting the knee joint.
We massage the chest towards the spine, and the stomach - in a circle, bypassing the liver area. But we must remember that these zones are very sensitive, besides, vital organs are located here, so we carry out manipulations only after prior agreement with the doctor.
We finish the whole procedure with a light stroking with our hands.

When buying a vibration massager, do not forget to check the certificate of conformity and registration certificate. Their presence will insure you against buying low-quality counterfeit products that can harm your health.

Vibromassage is useful for the face, décolleté and neck. It is carried out using special compact devices with sponge, rubber or plastic nozzles.

This procedure has a drainage effect, accelerating the lymph flow and removing toxins from the body. The blood vessels dilate, and the keratinized cells of the upper layer of the epithelium are exfoliated, as a result of which the skin becomes smooth, elastic and acquires a healthy pink hue. The main thing is to make movements following the main massage lines. For 10-15 sessions, such a device copes with fine wrinkles, improves skin elasticity, relieves acne and age spots, making you several years younger.

Is vibration massage indicated for children

Vibration therapy is prescribed starting at the age of six months. Moreover, they mainly affect the chest in a manual way. The fact is that until immunity has been formed, babies are prone to frequent colds and infectious diseases, which are often accompanied by a cough. The reason for its appearance is sputum accumulated in the respiratory tract. Increased body temperature and lack of moisture lead to the fact that the mucous secretion thickens and sticks to the walls of the bronchi, constantly accumulating. In such conditions, pathogenic microorganisms and bacteria feel great. They multiply rapidly, exacerbating the condition of the child and often leading to serious complications: obstructive bronchitis or pneumonia. The fragile body of the baby is not able to cope with the problem on its own and requires outside help, including in the form of vibration massage, which provides for a certain algorithm of actions:

The duration of the procedure is determined by the age and condition of the child: from 1 to 5 minutes. To distract a naughty baby, turn on a video with your favorite cartoons for the duration of the massage. Under the influence of the masseur's hands, the baby's body warms up, blood flow increases, which helps to thin the sputum.

The bronchi begin to vibrate in unison with the tapping, the mucus lags behind the walls and comes out, which contributes to a speedy recovery and getting rid of painful coughing fits.

Vibration massage implies an oscillatory effect on the body. This is done by special techniques or apparatus. It is used to reduce pain, inflammation, and also as a tonic. Since ancient times, people have studied the effect of vibration on the human body, but only in the 19th century were they able to develop special techniques.

As in any other type of treatment, it is worth considering the dosage, since prolonged mechanical action can, on the contrary, cause the development of problems and diseases. That is why it is worth knowing the basic information about such a massage.
