lifepro Embrace Neck Massager User Manual

Clinicians use heat and acupressure therapy to help improve blood flow and relieve pain in the extremities.

Everyone from professional athletes, to people who have intensely physical jobs, to people who spend a large amount of time using computers or cell phones can experience the benefits of neck massagers.

HELLO THERE

Joel and I are athletes who suffered from severe ACL injuries a few months apart. We purchased multiple pieces of exercise equipment for our in-home rehab but were left disappointed and frustrated by fitness gear that made big promises but gave no support, no well-thought-out plan to follow, and no results. And that’s how Lifepro came about, and why the Recovery + Fitness active recovery collection was created — we’ve set out to change all of that. It’s why every piece of equipment bearing our name not only undergoes rigorous scrutiny to make sure it delivers on power and efficacy, but also comes with built-in support from our ‘guiding angels’ and a built-in lifetime warranty so that you’re never left hanging.

Welcome to Lifepro.
We’re in this together now.

Product Overview

chronic headaches or stiffness or pain in their neck and shoulders such as office workers, construction workers, athletes, dancers, surgeons, knitters, cashiers, gardeners, waitstaff, photographers, videographers, and more.

Three massage speeds, two massage directions, and a heat option allow you to choose the perfect settings for all of your massage needs.

AGILITY VIBRATING MASSAGE BALL

The Agility Vibrating Massage Ball is designed to target small muscle groups. The Agility Ball is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and gives you a wide range of massage motions: circular, upand-down, and side-to-side.

The Agility Ball’s silicone exterior is durable and easyto-grip, but soft enough to use on sensitive areas like your neck, hands, and feet.

AGILITY BALL BENEFITS

• Increase circulation
• Improve muscle flexibility and performance
• Relax tight muscles and fascia
• Reduce muscle pain and inflammation
• Boost blood flow

SONIC VIBRATING MASSAGE GUN

The Sonic Vibrating Massage Gun is a deep tissue massager that helps eliminate the aches and pains caused by long hours of sitting. Use the Sonic to release muscle tension and relax after a long day at work. Get relief from stiffness and pain in your shoulders, neck, wrists, and hands caused by prolonged digital device use.

The Sonic’s vibration technology penetrates deeply into your muscles and fascia-treating areas that human hands have difficulty reaching. High- frequency vibrations loosen  tight muscles, increase blood flow to the area, and reduce inflammation.

The Sonic is lightweight and portable, making it the perfect device to massage your own shoulders and back. Five speeds allow you to choose the intensity that will give you the most relief as you target specific muscle pain and stiffness.

SONIC BENEFITS

• Reduce muscle pain and inflammation
• Release toxins
• Improve circulation
• Increase flexibility
• Reduce stress and muscle tension

RHYTHM VIBRATION PLATFORM

The Rhythm Vibration Platform works by creating rapid vibrations throughout the body, especially on the muscles specifically targeted. These vibrations cause the muscles to stretch, flex, and relax at a rapid rate. This results in increased muscle and bone growth, improved flexibility, and boosted metabolism—all of which increase the number of calories you burn.

The Rhythm can be used by people from every fitness level. If you have suffered an injury or you experience joint or back pain, find relief and help prevent future injuries by adding the Rhythm to your rehab routine.

RHYTHM BENEFITS

• Improve mobility
• Prevent injury
• Increase strength
• Boost metabolism
• Improve sleep
• Develop stronger bones
• Increase circulation
