ADJUSTING CHAIR POSITION The PT500 allows you to adjust the way you are resting in the chair with the push of a button. You can adjust the back rest and leg rest at the same time, or you can adjust the leg rest on its own. Leg Adjustment: Back and Leg Adjustment: Pressing the arrow pointing up will bring the leg rest up. Pressing the arrow pointing down will bring your legs down and towards the ground in the default position.
ADJUSTMENT BUTTONS continued SHOULDER POSITIONING: These adjustment buttons allow you to adjust the rollers to suit your height. When the rollers are sitting directly on your shoulders, they will be ideal for your specific height. Press the up arrow to move the rollers up the backrest of the chair and press the down arrow to lower the rollers. As you are adjusting the rollers, you will feel them moving up/down the chair.
MASSAGE TYPES With the PT500 you can create your own personal massage. There are five massage types you can receive individually. This allows you to decide on which massage will be best for your particular body and your particular massage needs. SHIATSU KNEAD Shiatsu neck kneading is a massage technique that works in a circular motion on both sides of your spine. Kneading massages are good for a sore or knotted neck, often caused by straining or looking at a computer screen for a long period of time.
TAP continued 5. Adjust the speed you would like the massage to be with the speed button. If you would like an intense massage adjust the speed to go faster and if you would like something more soothing adjust the speed to move slower. 3. Select which area of you back you would like massaged with the back stretching and/or massage positioning buttons. 4.
PRESS This massage option is a slower pressing motion that simulates the massage technique called cupping. Cupping is best for deep tissue massage therapy. The PT500 allows you to adjust the position, roller width, and speed of the pressing function during a massage. 5. Adjust the speed you would like the massage to be with the speed button. If you would like an intense massage to relieve pain, adjust the speed to go faster and if you would like something more soothing adjust the speed to move slower.

THE 9-5 MASSAGE Sitting at a desk and looking at a computer screen all day can be very hard on your back. Pain in the upper back and neck is usually due to the muscles becoming too tight. Tight muscles restrict blood flow in your back, which can make the pain worse. The Shiatsu kneading and back rolling technique can help in relieving the pain as well as stimulate blood flow of those tight muscles. For Upper Back Pain: 1.
PRENATAL MASSAGE Lower back pain is a common problem; it is especially common in pregnant women as they carry their baby low on their body. The lower back massage is great for getting the lower back muscles relaxed and stimulating blood flow to relieve pain. For Lower Back Pain: 1. If needed, use the recline button to return the chair into a sitting position. 4. Turn the power to the chair on. 5.
ATHLETIC MASSAGE One of the largest complaints in athletes is leg pain. This can be caused by over exertion of the legs, muscle strains, general weakness or even long hours of standing. The leg rest massage modes can help relieve leg pain with gentle air bags that apply the right amount pressure to relieve those sore areas. For Leg Pain: 1. Adjust the chair using the recline buttons so that you are sitting straight, with your legs up and stretched out in front of you. 3.
STRESS REDUCING MASSAGE continued 3. Bring your feet up with your knees bent and insert them into the massage areas on the leg rest . 5. Leave the default massage on, this is an overall upper body massage. 4. Turn the power to the chair on. 6. With you feet inside of the leg rests massage areas, turn on the lower body massage functions. Intensity and mode will depend on comfort level. It is recommended to use a high level of intensity for a foot massage.
