RECOMMENDED MASSAGING TIMES
Generally, massage should last only 15 minutes on any one par-
ticular part of the body. Treatment may be applied once or twice
daily as desired.
As metabolism varies among individuals, so does their response
to massage. You will soon adjust the time to suit your particular
needs and personal comfort. If you have any doubts regarding
treatment, we recommend you consult your physician.
SOME SPECIFIC MASSAGE APPLICATIONS
GENERAL BODY MASSAGE: For general well-being,
enjoy a daily once-over light massage. It has a wonderfully
soothing and relaxing effect.
NECK: Massage down from the base of the skull, on either
side of the spine, for a few minutes.
SHOULDERS: Temporarily relieve minor muscle tension
by lightly massaging the shoulders outward from the base
of the neck for 4-5 minutes.

help temporarily relieve minor muscular backache.
ARMS: Stroke smoothly up from wrist to shoulder on inside and
outside of arms, including palms, for 4-5 minutes.

temporarily relieve tired, aching muscles. Use even, upward
