The oscillating massage table is a medical device that provides deep massage through several oscillating aggregates, which mainly relieves tension and provides relaxation in case of negative stress (so-called disstress). In addition, the device has infrared deep heat, which primarily promotes blood circulation. The oscillating vibration massage combines many effects of physical and manual forms of therapy.
Indications (areas of application)
- Tension of the musculature
- Myogeloses (knot-like or bulge-like, clearly circumscribed hardening in the musculature; colloquially also called hard tension).
- Back pain
- Intervertebral disc problems
- Blocking of vertebrae or joints
- Acute and chronic pain conditions
- Migraine
- Overload and misload of joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments.
- Osteoarthritis (joint wear and tear)
- Disstress
- Disturbed lymphatic drainage
- Venous congestion (venous stasis)
- Circulatory disorders in the deep muscular area
Contraindications
- Fever
- Acute inflammatory processes
- Cardiac pacemaker (Pacemaker)
- Suspected thrombosis
- Pregnancy
The procedure
The principle of massage is one of the oldest methods of naturopathy and not only acts directly at the site of application, but also affects deeper organ systems through nervous reflex connections between the superficial skin and organs. In addition, physical or muscular relaxation can be induced as well as harmonization of body and soul, which is equally important for the patient’s well-being. The following effects can be achieved by using the oscillating massage table:
- Dilatation of blood vessels – increase in local blood circulation and improvement of oxygen supply.
- Release of muscular tension
- Promoting the production of its own heat
- Increase metabolism
- Loosening of the subcutaneous tissues
- Promotion of venous outflow
- Promotion of lymphatic drainage
- Relief of acute and chronic pain conditions
- Activation of the autonomic nervous system – this nervous system controls the unconscious organ functions.
Especially in the field of back diseases, the use of the massage table is very useful. It prevents pain, herniated discs and also migraines by releasing tension and myogelosis (nodular or bulging hardening of the muscles). Foot reflexology massage is also available. This massage is based on the assumption that the feet represent a miniature image of the entire organism. Thus, organ systems or body parts can be positively influenced directly by means of targeted massage. In addition to the oscillating massage, many devices also offer the so-called infrared deep heat. The following effects of infrared deep heat are assumed:
- Stimulation of the metabolism
- Stimulation of blood circulation
- Release of tension by warming the muscles and increasing blood flow.
- Activation of the immune system
- Support fat burning
- Relaxation of body and mind
- Accompanying therapy for sports injuries
The application time of the oscillating massage table can be increased from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. In principle, frequent, regular use is recommended, as it increases the success of therapy. In addition to the simple supine position, massage in the prone or side position is also possible.
Benefits
The oscillating massage table is a medical device that can promote self-healing, increase resistance and reduce negative stress. Used regularly, the system can enhance individual well-being and maintain vitality.
