Even in ancient times to facilitate the work of massage used various objects: for example, in ancient Greece - groomer in Japan - with special hammers.
In the Ancient Rus Slavic tribes have long been used in the bath postegivanie broom, it was nothing but a kind of mechanical massage.
Wide development of hardware massage received at the end of the XVIII century. - In this period were designed by specialists variety vibrating massage devices, both for local as well as for general vibration. However, they did not get mass use: some were too bulky, much noise and vibration were rough, others - are ineffective because the vibration was almost imperceptible. The evolution over several centuries has led to the fact that modern devices for massage is almost noiseless and efficient enough.
Modern hardware massage includes several species. Each of them is distinguished as the physiological effects and the principle of the device aids. The most widely used in the practice of massage vibro, pneumomassage and jacuzzi, other types are used less frequently.

A special group of masseurs to stop - they are issued in the form of whirlpool baths. Such devices are very popular not only because they really have a therapeutic effect, but also because it perfectly relaxes tired after a busy day.
Outwardly, these devices are very similar and look like a small capacity to accommodate the foot, usually divided into two halves of the special partition, which is mounting for heads.

According to the principle of action in a particular category was isolated by vacuum tumblers. Their therapeutic action is based on the creation of blood flow to local areas of the body by vacuum. Even in ancient China for the treatment of many diseases, used thin hollow clay and bamboo sticks, which created a negative pressure or vacuum, and have applied to the skin in different parts of the patient's body. Skin drawn into the cavity, created blood flow to certain parts - both worked on the affected organ, causing it to fight the disease.
Create a huge flow of blood - hence, provide anti-virus and anti-inflammatory effect.

Over time, the degradation products derived from the work cells do not have time "imposed" by blood and lymph, and begin to accumulate in tissues. The body needs help from outside, and in this case miostimulyatory plays the role of "accelerator". It causes contractions, similar effects of massage, which promotes more rapid removal of toxins, toxic substances, excess intracellular fluid and the decay products of fat.
When purchasing and using mistimulyatora remember contra-indications and warnings (usually all miostimulyatory home use are detailed instructions which must be immediately available).
