Neck tension, stiffness, and stress build-up are incredibly common—especially if you spend long hours on your phone, laptop, or behind the wheel. The ShiatsuMini™ Neck Massager is designed to melt away tightness fast, but using it correctly ensures maximum results and complete safety.
Below is a simple guide to help you get the most out of your ShiatsuMini™ every day.
1. Start With the Right Positioning
Proper placement is key for deep relief.
-
Sit comfortably with your back straight.
-
Rest the massager behind your neck so the nodes align with the tense areas.
-
Slip your arms through the straps to control pressure effortlessly.
This alignment helps the 3D kneading rollers target stubborn knots without causing strain.
2. Adjust the Intensity to Your Comfort Level
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different.
-
Start on the lowest intensity to warm up your muscles.
-
Gradually increase the pressure using the straps or settings as your muscles loosen.
-
Avoid applying excessive weight—more pressure doesn’t always mean better results.
Listen to your body to prevent soreness or overuse.
3. Activate the Soothing Heat (Optional)
The built-in heat function helps improve blood flow and accelerate muscle relaxation.
Use it when:
-
Your neck feels stiff, cold, or locked up
-
You want deeper relaxation
-
You're winding down at night
If you’re sensitive to heat or have skin conditions, start without heat first.
4. Use the Massager for the Recommended Duration
For safe and effective results:
-
Use 10–15 minutes per session
-
Up to 2–3 times a day depending on your discomfort level
Longer sessions are unnecessary and can lead to muscle fatigue.
5. Breathe & Relax During Use
Deep, slow breathing enhances blood circulation and helps your muscles release tension faster.
Avoid using the massager while:
-
Driving
-
Walking
-
Doing heavy physical tasks
Always stay still and relaxed during use.
6. Target Multiple Areas for Full Relief
Although it’s designed for the neck, the ShiatsuMini™ can also relieve:
-
Upper back
-
Shoulders
-
Lower back
-
Thighs
-
Calves
Simply reposition the device while keeping your posture neutral.
7. Keep It Clean & Well-Maintained
To ensure hygiene and durability:
-
Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth (avoid soaking).
-
Keep away from moisture.
-
Store in a cool, dust-free place.
Proper care extends the life of the device.
8. Important Safety Tips
-
Do not use on swollen or bruised areas.
-
People with heart conditions, pacemakers, or pregnancy should consult a doctor first.
-
Stop using immediately if you feel sharp pain or discomfort.
-
Allow the device to cool down between multiple uses.
