Pure relaxation from Neck to Toe with the Beurer MG100 Percussion Massager

Do you love getting a massage but find the treatment costly and time consuming? Perhaps you want to recreate that feeling of relaxation at home, but don’t know the movements and techniques your practitioner performs? With the Beurer MG100 tapping massager you no longer have to minimize your to-do-list or take the day off; you can achieve a professional quality massage any time, any place.

Beurer’s percussion massagers are developed to simulate the rhythmic tapping (tapotement) used in Shiatsu and Swedish massage, without the hassle of finding a reliable, at times expensive masseuse. Using this powerful handheld massager you can give yourself or others a soothing, effective massage with no help required. The long non-slip handle allows you to work your neck, back and shoulders, or any other muscular area that may feel stiff or sore.

Never had a massage before? Relax!

Perhaps you’re stressed out and need a break, but hate the idea of lying topless on a table, with a complete stranger! If that sounds more like a visit to the doctor than a relaxing hour of ‘me’ time – the Beurer MG100 Tapping Massager will put you back in control of the massage experience. With its adjustable heat, speed, positioning and nodular settings you can instantly relive aches and pains at a strength that suits you, all from the comfort of your own home!

How does massage help me?

From back ache to emotional tension, massage therapy is used to relieve pain and promote health and well-being. The manipulation of soft tissue helps treat symptoms associated with a host of clinical conditions; these include pregnancy and postoperative pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraine, multiple sclerosis, spinal injury and chronic fatigue. Massage therapy can even reduce blood pressure and heart rate whilst increasing your natural flow of endorphins (the body’s feel-good painkillers).

Asides from improved range of motion, the largest and most commonly reported effects of massage therapy are a decrease in anxiety, depression and cortisol (stress hormones) - similar in magnitude to those of psychotherapy!

How is tapping massage or ‘tapotement’ (percussion) different to regular massage?

Massaging using a tapping motion is a very simple and renowned method that’s applied through temperate strokes with the fingers, thumbs or palms. The pressure applied is gentle but uses sufficient intensity to produce a slightly hollow sound against the skin. What’s great about the tapotement technique, is that it can be used to achieve both therapeutic relaxation, as well as a feeling of invigoration.

So how does the Beurer MG 100 work?

The Beurer MG100 imitates the movements of percussion massage to stimulate your skin and muscle reflexes. Oscillating with up to 3000 strokes per minute, Beurer’s dual-head design deeply penetrates the skin, providing instant relief to tensed layers of tissue and muscle and aiding the natural healing process.

The portable and versatile unit lets you massage yourself standing, sitting and lying down, or (if you’re feeling generous) you can massage someone else! The MG 100 features an added handle with Velcro-fastening hand strap for inaccessible parts of the back and legs (adjustable for individual sizes). For a heating sensation, the infrared setting can be used at any time, to warm the surface of the skin and promote circulation in the affected area. The MG100’s massage speed is adjustable as required and its LED backlit function indicator lets you chose between 4 different massage programs:

Start: Initial/ automatic setting

Relax: A wave-action, relaxing massage.

Refresh: Vibrant and pulsating massage.

Active: Penetrating and pulsating massage.

As tapping massage is designed to be relaxing or energising, Beurer have also created interchangeable attachments to offer extra versatility to your massage. The unit is supplied with two heads of varying style nodule; from reflexology to acupressure, you can recreate the invigorating effects of percussion that reduce sleepiness and fatigue.

With the assistance of their modern, high quality products, Beurer are the ideal companion to advance your relaxation. Thanks to their great commitment to massage and over 95 years’ experience in health and well-being, you can rest assured you’re in safe hands with Beurer.
