Massage of the neck
Massage of the neck
NOVAFON vibration products can be used for the massage of the neck and shoulder muscles. A NOVAFON massage takes a total of 10–15 minutes per side and can be repeated up to twice daily. Before you start, plug your NOVAFON into the socket and take a comfortable seat on a chair. If your mobility is impaired, seek assistance from a second person. In this massage scenario, make sure that you do not work on the spinous processes of the spinal column, but to the left or right of them. Carry out the treatment on the affected side, or both sides if required. Make sure to follow the steps outlined here.
1 – PLANAR STROKING/SMOOTHING OF THE NECK AND SHOULDER MUSCLES
Select the discattachment. First, find the bone behind your ear and switch the vibration product to level II. Imagine a line along the occipital line, from this bone to the spinal column. Smooth the area from this line across the neck to the shoulder. Repeat each stroke three to four times.
2 – MASSAGE OF THE UPPER BACK AND THE SHOULDER BLADES
Above the shoulder blades, move the device from the spine towards the shoulder, using the disc attachment. Then use linear strokes to massage the area between the shoulder blade and the spine several times, from top to bottom, and circle around the shoulder blade down to the armpit.
3 – MASSAGE OF SORE AREAS
Then select the ball attachment and massage the individual affected areas for 30–60 seconds at level I. You can focus on a specific point, or massage it using gentle circular motions.
