When should I use the kneading setting, and when should I use the vibration setting on my electric massage chair?
Kneading
is typically used in Swedish massages or deep tissue massages, and it is used to
stimulate nerves, blood vessels, glands and cellular exchanges in the area
being kneaded. The kneading setting should mainly be used to increase
circulation. Vibration stimulates sensory nerves which increases blood flow and
temperature in that area. Vibration is most helpful to just relax, but also to
help stimulate an area that is normally not reflexive due to brain injury,
fatigue, or paralysis.
