The best and most functional materials have gone into the construction of the Shiatsu Hoop with workmanship you can rely on and nature's finest hardwood balls will give you pleasure you can relish!

UPPER NECK

Use it in the narrow position for that tension or stress you may be feeling.
Remember to turn the turnbuckle to the desired width.  Hold on to the grip in front
of the hoop while placing the balls along the upper neck or below the base of the skull.
Tilt the head backward, pushing slowly in an upward direction while exhaling slowly.
You can also squeeze or invert your own massage at that time.
Another position for the upper neck is to rotate or push just one ball in
the upper neck centered just below the skull.

This is an excellent massage for a correct and healthy posture.

LOWER NECK

Use the Hoop on the lower neck for relief from aching muscles.
Remember to adjust the tension to a slightly wider position according to your preference,
then place the balls alongside the lower neck while holding on to the front grips.
While in the lower neck position the correct Shiatsu method is to push down slowly,
however you may wish to squeeze or rotate the balls around the neck area.

UPPER BACK

For the upper back, adjust the tension to the desired width:
this is great for golfers and tennis players

LOWER BACK

For the lower back adjust the turnbuckle to the wider position.
 Bend the knees slightly while resting the grips upon your knees,
placing the balls on the lower back or lumbar position.
Push forward while applying pressure in a slow rocking motion.

Applications while in a sitting position:

UPPER BACK

The sitting position is the simplest of all. Just lean back on the balls and let your body
tell you how much pressure you desire without even the use of arm pressure.
You may choose to rotate or squeeze at that particular time.

LOWER BACK

To apply maximum pressure to the lower back, sit in a chair and adjust the tension to
the wider position for your comfort.  Place the balls on your back, lean forward and place
the grips firmly atop your knees, holding the grips firmly in place.
Lean back slowly and notice the increase in pressure.
Adjust and repeat as necessary.

THE CALVES & THIGHS
            

For calves and thighs adjust the tension to your comfort,
lift up on the handles and squeeze slowly.

SINGLE SHOULDER PRESSURE

Hold the two grips together with one hand. Apply single shoulder pressure to loosen
up those shoulder muscles and remember to exhale while applying pressure.

THE CRAWL

Place the balls on the mid back and apply alternating pressure to the grip.
The balls will feel great crawling up your back

AEROBIC STRETCHING EXERCISE

If you like aerobics try these exercises first.  You can use them this way
on your lower back, shoulders and shoulder blades.
Apply pressure alternately and use your elbows to guide the hoop.
Another great exercise for golfers and tennis players

Assembling the Shiatsu Hoop:

Enclosed: Two "C" shaped arm, and turnbuckle. 
Remove the two "C" shaped arms and turnbuckle from the box.

Begin to assemble the two "C" shaped arms by connecting one end of the turn-buckle
to the bolt of a "C" shaped arm.  If not successful, simply turn the turnbuckle around,
the other end will attach and only a few turns are necessary.

Adjust the direction between the balls to the desired
spinal width by turning the center turnbuckle.

Note:  The Shiatsu Hoop is designed to automatically life the vertebrae. 
When pushing forward on the handle,
the balls will automatically go upward lifting the muscles of the vertebrae. 
The Shiatsu Hoop should always have the balls facing upward.

For proper Shiatsu, correct breathing is essential. 
Exhale slowly while applying and inhale while slowly releasing pressure.

The balls can be positioned to the desired width, so remember to adjust the turnbuckle. 
One or more adjustments may be necessary. 

A Note From Phil Wilson Owner of Momentum98 For massaging the back, the neck, and more... all by yourself ! The Shiatsu Hoop is a a very unique massage tools. Basically, it can do what the Backnobbers, Theracane, and Acu-masseur can do. I sell a lot of Acu-Masseurs at shows, because they are so easy to demo, while the Shiatsu Hoops require attention and patience.  But if you persevere, it is a great and unique massage tool. We are one of the leading distributors of massage tools in the nation.
