How to perform a roll massage to actually achieve the expected results that will last for a long time? How do these treatments affect our body? What are the characteristics of a roll massage device? What are the benefits of having a roll massager in a fitness club, salon or at home?
Infrared Roll Massager is a unique device loved by women. It is an effective tool in the fight against cellulite. Regular use of the massager makes the skin firm and elastic. The operation is very simple – a specially profiled drum rotates, while rollers massage individual parts of the body, stimulating circulation and lymph flow. Infrared rays heat up the skin further improving circulation, metabolism and removing toxins from the body. Infrared rays strongly stimulate the immune system and accelerate collagen production.
Something for the body, something for the spirit
It is already known how beneficial the massage itself is for the body and organism. The effects of using a massager can be truly delightful. They include:
- reduction of fat tissue
- effective fight against cellulite and stretch marks
- firming of the body
- elimination of swelling
- improvement of skin blood circulation
- relaxation of muscular tension
- initial warm-up and breaking down fascial adhesions
- alleviation of excess stress and better mood
Roll massage stimulates the lymphatic system to work, which results in the increased need of organs for oxygen and nutrients.
Lymph, as opposed to blood, does not have an organ which pumps it (in the case of the circulatory system, such organ is the heart). Among other things, it is driven by muscle movement. Through the lymph vessels, the primary lymph enters the lymph nodes, where it is cleansed of viruses and bacteria. The cleansed lymph leaves the lymph nodes via draining vessels. In the case of a sedentary lifestyle, this circulation is disturbed and slowed down. Thanks to the increase of the lymphatic vessels' permeability, the lymph circulation rate increases, which accelerates and facilitates the removal of toxic substances and waste products from the body. Building substances and vitamins are returned to the bloodstream and toxins are excreted in the urine. Cleansing continues for many hours after the massage. Nutrients delivered to fat cells enable their faster burning and weight reduction. Roll massage also eliminates peripheral circulatory insufficiency, especially in case of lower limbs and so-called “cold feet”; it also has an extremely beneficial effect on the functioning of internal organs (heart or kidneys).
Additional use of infrared rays results in freeing the body from unwanted excess fat, toxic compounds and water, which are the cause of the formation of "orange peel". Due to double depth of penetration into the cellulite areas, combined with 10 times increased heating of these tissues, this therapy is definitely more effective than any conventional method. Infrared thermal properties also have an analgesic and relaxing effect. They perfectly relax tensions and remove muscle pains.
Roll massager is also a device for massaging the fascia. Fascia is a connective tissue which surrounds every cell, acting as a three-dimensional external covering of the whole organism. Thanks to the fascial network integrating the body, each muscle, although working individually, can function in a synchronised manner with other muscles as a part of the myofascial chain. This is why an ankle sprain can result in pain in the neck area. Excessive tension of the fascia leads to various disorders in the functioning of the whole organism. The excess of this tension can be eliminated by means of a roll massage. For many professional athletes, it is a permanent component of each workout. The fascia massage is perfect as a warm-up and complements, among others, Pilates training, running, cycling, yoga classes or stretching. The fascia itself is also responsible for the good functioning of the internal organs. It creates divisions between them, putting the body in order, and at the same time constituting connection between all its elements. Thanks to the smooth structure of the fascia, it is possible for organs to move in relation to other structures of the organism. In addition, the fascia is responsible for the shape of muscles, as it limits them not only on the outside, but also penetrates their insides. Therefore it influences their contraction, tension, connection and cooperation with other components of the musculoskeletal system. It also influences our posture and body shape. This clearly proves that taking care of the correct tension of the fascia has a holistic effect on the body.
Intuitive operation
The roll massager is an ideal solution for people who lack time to exercise and improve their appearance and health. The massager comes with a set of accessories: chairs and/or a platform which facilitate the massage of various body parts such as buttocks, thighs, abdomen, etc. Thanks to the personalisation option, you can choose the upholstery and thread colour that perfectly suits you. Different types of monitors are also available – basic and led.
In order to optimise the effects of the exercises, it is necessary to keep a specific order during their performance, i.e. the massage should start from the feet and finish on the arms and hands. The direction of the massage should be in the direction of lymphatic flow in the body (like blood circulation, i.e. to the heart).
How to prepare for a massage?
- long hair must be tied up
- clothes: tight leggings or sweatpants, socks which are necessary, t-shirt covering the whole stomach
- it is recommended to apply anti-cellulite, slimming or firming cream
- carry with you: 0.5-1.5 l of still water, a towel
- also think about creating a playlist with your favourite songs (it will certainly make your massage time more pleasant)
Duration and frequency:
Depending on the programme chosen, the duration of the massage may vary slightly. Usually, when performing a comprehensive full body roll massage it lasts about 60 minutes. There are special programmes dedicated to the upper parts of the body, intended for women struggling with excessive fatty tissue on the abdomen, which is an excellent alternative to exercises for a flat stomach. There are also programmes for the lower parts which, in turn, focus on a longer massage of the hips or legs and the fight against stretch marks and cellulite.
In order to achieve the most desirable results with the massaging device, it should be used regularly. It is recommended to massage 3 times a week for 1 hour, for the first 4 weeks.
1st WEEK – During this week your body gets used to the touch. After the first massage you will probably feel the soreness in your muscles caused by the stagnation of your body. During the first week it is recommended to use lower rotation speeds of the massage drum. The effects of the massage depend on the individual predispositions of the client, however, already after the first massage, an acceleration of the metabolism and a general stimulation of the organism can be felt.
2nd and 3rd WEEK – Since the first week, the massage helps to burn fat tissue, stimulates and regulates digestive processes. In the second and third week the massage helps with the removal of toxins and harmful products of metabolism from the body. As the massage proceeds, we can gradually increase the rotational speed of the massage drum and adjust it to individual needs.
4th WEEK – In the fourth week stabilisation of the organism takes place. The effects of the massage are visible, such as smoothed skin, significant loss of centimetres in the waist, hips and thighs. The body becomes firmer and the skin has a better blood supply. In general, 95% of massage clients have noticed positive, clear and long-lasting effects in their appearance and mood after the 4-week treatment.
