Massage is a simple and effective therapeutic and preventive method that has been known since ancient times and is widely used today. An excellent tool for relaxation, rest, and relaxation is a massage bed, which can also become a useful and effective home exercise machine. The device is equipped with many necessary functions, can be controlled from a remote control, and can be adjusted to the individual characteristics and body type of a person.

Why do you need a spinal massage?

Some people believe that spinal diseases include kyphosis, scoliosis and lower back pain. If there is nothing of this, then there is no need to do a massage. In fact, the spine is connected to every organ in our body through the spinal cord. It often happens that people have been treating their stomach, heart, lungs, kidneys for years to no avail, taking pills for headaches and insomnia, struggling with constipation, not suspecting that they need to take care of their spine. Its condition affects immunity, vitality, metabolism, vision, hearing and much more. In order to improve the condition of all body systems by influencing the spine, the “Seragem” (bed) was designed. Reviews from doctors who consider it useful note multiple cases of positive dynamics in patients after sessions with it. This medical equipment has already been installed in the physiotherapy departments of some hospitals and sanatoriums, and in private clinics. In addition, in large cities there are places where you are allowed to use a massage bed for free for a long time, until complete recovery.

Massage bed with jade rollers - contraindications

When it comes to contraindications, they usually mean mechanical effects from massage elements. Thermal, warming effects are acceptable in all cases.

In what cases are procedures on massage beds contraindicated:

• Pregnant women. In the early stages it can lead to miscarriage, in the last stages of pregnancy it can lead to premature birth.
• Children under 3 years old. In babies, the spine, muscles and tendons are still weak and the load on them can lead to undesirable consequences.
• If there are implants in the body, pacemakers, metal plates.
• After operations or injuries on the spine.
• Within a year after the operations.
• Oncology, neoplasms.
• With brittle bones (osteoporosis), acute radiculitis.
• Strokes and heart attacks, high blood pressure.
• Menstruation.
• Skin diseases.
• Chronic diseases.
• Heavy weight.

Massage beds with jade rollers should be used with caution. However, this is a very convenient massager for home use, which will leave you feeling relaxed and calm. Be healthy!

External characteristics

On sale you can find therapeutic beds with a wide variety of designs - from impressive with a variety of devices and sensors of massive structures to those similar to an ordinary couch. The designs of medical beds are also very different, depending on the purpose of their use. It was the functionality and usefulness of their new development that they focused on. The bed, the reviews of which are so different from doctors and buyers, looks like an ordinary hospital couch; the main equipment is located inside. There are two models on sale: CGM-M3500 and the more modern Master V3. Its width is 70 cm, height is 45 cm, length is 2.02 m (in working condition). To make the bed fit better into the interior of even a small room, this model has the ability to fold when not in use. Then its length becomes only 1.25 m. At the same time, the weight of the bed is just over 50 kg. There are also models equipped with music that plays during the procedure and enhances the therapeutic effect.

How to choose the best option

The main guideline in choosing a massage bed is its purpose and price. The more functions a device has, the higher the cost and the wider the list of capabilities. The therapeutic effect is achieved through special paths filled with jade in the form of roll protectors. It is with their help that kneading, working out, and stretching muscles throughout the body are carried out. Parallel heating of soft tissues significantly increases the therapeutic result of mechanical massage.

A massage bed is a purchase for daily professional massage. With its help, you can prevent diseases of the musculoskeletal system, keep your muscles toned, and your figure in perfect condition.

Main selection criteria:

• design - the external design of modern medical technology and equipment is striking in its diversity. These can be ultra-modern models made of plastic and metal, in the style of hi-tech and minimalism (RestArt RK 31-01, Happy Dream 7000, Takasima, Yamaguchi KENKO). There are classic beds, powerful, stable, durable, made from natural wood or its analogues (Migun HY or Docstor line);
• Dimensions - there are standard single-bed modifications that are 70-80 cm wide and about two meters long. To save space, a model with a slider mechanism that folds into a chair with massage and heating if necessary is better suited. Example - Ceragem Master V3, LOTUS M-14, LOTUS M-17;
• functions - the bed massages soft tissues along the entire length of the spinal column. This promotes maximum muscle relaxation, alignment of the vertebrae, and elimination of clamps or pressure on nerve endings. Additionally, it can be used to gently massage the legs, arms, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. The device prevents or treats cellulite, helps reduce body volume, and lose weight.

The greater the number of massage elements in the bed design, the better the body muscles will be worked out. The total area that will be covered by the massage can be determined by the length and width of the tracks and the number of guide carriages. An important condition is the location of individual structural fragments in the neck, shoulders, lower back, and calves.

Design features

The name of the latest know-how from the Seragem developers is a massage bed, that is, the main function of the product is to massage the back and spine. For this purpose, the design contains special jade rollers that move along the canvas on which the patient lies. The massage is programmed in 6 intensity levels. Patients themselves can choose the most appropriate one for themselves. The level changes depending on the position of the carriage (higher-lower), which is regulated by a special button on the remote control. The higher the carriage, the stronger the impact of the rollers on the patient’s back.

But the Seragem developers provided their creation with more than just a carriage with rollers. The massage bed in question is equipped with heating devices, so-called spotlights with infrared radiation (mobile, can freely change position) and carbon panels (stationary, located under the sheet on which the patient lies). The heating temperature can also be adjusted. At problem points of the spine, a “smart” mechanism performs cauterization. That, in principle, is all the therapeutic functions of the Seragem bed.

Construction of the Nuga Best massage bed

The massage bed or personal low-frequency combined thermal stimulator Nuga Best NM 5000 consists of two mats: the main one and the additional one.

The main mat has an internal projector built into it. The projector is made of turmanium. This is also a new word for me. It turns out that this is a complex alloy of tourmaline, germanium, volcanic rocks and elvan. I'll talk about these elements further. When heated, it emits long-wave infrared rays. The mat covering consists of a four-layer reinforced material. The top layer is made of dry fiber with enhanced absorbent ability, so it quickly absorbs sweat. Durable and elastic. Dries quickly after washing.

Silver threads are woven into the inner layers of the material, which inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, mold, fungi that cause allergies, and eliminates unpleasant odors. Absorbs ultraviolet rays and electromagnetic waves. Good conductor of heat. Emits negative ions and infrared rays. Well, that's good, let's move on. The main mat (with an internal projector), as well as the additional one (with tourmanium ceramics), can be raised and installed at an angle of 10%, 20% and 30%. All for our pleasure.

The main and additional mats are raised, changing the angle of inclination. Very convenient for reading books and watching TV, as well as for weakened people, for a softer effect.

Indoor projector. An internal projector system of seven rollers, six of which are for back massage, and the seventh for delicate work with the cervical spine.

The rolls are made of modern tourmanium material. Let me remind you that this is an alloy of tourmaline, germanium elvan and volcanic rocks. Thanks to this, the rolls acquired strength and a number of unique properties: the intensity of infrared radiation and the number of negatively charged ions almost doubled. Let me remind you that the internal projector is located in the main (large) mat.

Now let's turn our attention to the little mat. The mat has a built-in mat with tourmanium ceramics. The mat heats up and provides the body with the effects of magnetic therapy, mineral therapy, ionization and infrared radiation. At the same time, the composition of the blood, the fluidity of the blood and lymph improves. You can sit and lie on the mat.

• Thermal - relaxes muscles, increases immunity, activates cells in the affected area
• Exposure to infrared rays - maintains water balance (relieves swelling, but prevents loss of necessary moisture), tissue regeneration, has an antimicrobial effect.
• Magnetic therapy - relieves inflammation, accelerates healing processes. Fatigue and weakness go away.
• Impact on biologically active points - the surface of tourmanium ceramics is made in the form of “buttons” or hexagons
• Cleansing - promotes the release of toxins, neutralizes unpleasant body odors
• Saturation of the body with oxygen - improved health and performance

You can also use a separate mat or collar made of tourmanium ceramics. The properties of these products are the same.

Tourmanium ceramics used in Nuga Best equipment are a source of long-wave infrared rays and have a healing effect on the entire human body

Scanning

People differ from each other not only in height, but also in the condition of the spine. Seragem developers always take into account the characteristics of the human body; it is not for nothing that their health products are so popular. In the case of the bed, they tried to make it suitable for everyone, even children. The main thing is that the patient’s height is at least 1.2 meters. How can the same bed suit different people? A special automatic scanner integrated into the design is responsible for this. Before starting treatment procedures, he scans the spine, determining its length, natural bends, and deformations. Based on this data, the equipment is adjusted for a specific client. At least that's what the instructions say. Printouts of scans are not given to patients.

Tips for choosing

The main working element of a massage bed is a movable roller. When choosing a device, they look at the material from which the parts are made and at the mechanism that moves them along the working surface. More often, rollers are made of healing stones or wear-resistant ceramics. Some models of massage beds have infrared lamps. They are effective in advanced inflammatory processes of the peripheral nervous system.

Features and options for placing a bed in a niche, furniture sizes

A bed with an enlarged caster area is more suitable for tall people, so it is important to consider the working surface area. The base material matters. The frame of expensive bed models is made from welded metal structures and dense wood. This is important for people with heavy weight.

Transformable beds, in which the angle of elevation changes, allow you to combine reading a book or watching TV with a massage. If there is a shortage of space, a device with a folding function is suitable. A massage device is a necessary purchase for the home. It is recommended to use it only with the permission of a doctor after examination and assessment of health status.

“Seragem” (bed): positive reviews from doctors and patients

The main advantage of the product is a noticeable therapeutic effect after massage sessions. People write that thanks to the Seragem bed, pain in their back, neck, and muscles went away, their general condition improved, walking became easier, stomach and intestinal problems disappeared, and their blood pressure normalized. Positive reviews about the effectiveness of this device were signed by Yu. A. Rudin, head of the physiotherapy department of the Central Military Hospital named after. Semashko, A. A. Ushakov, Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation, V. M. Klyuzhev, Academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, S. P. Svistunov, Head of the Central Military Hospital No. 5, V. S. Marshenin, Head of Neurology in the same hospital, and other doctors with extensive work experience.

I have high blood pressure – will an electric massager help?

If problems with blood pressure are caused by osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, which leads to a narrowing of the lumen of the neck vessels, then a manual massage or a kneading electric massager for the neck, including a bed, can greatly alleviate the course of the disease, permanently relieving attacks of hypertension.

However, if hypertension is caused by hormonal imbalances related to the adrenal glands or thyroid gland, then the bed will not help. It is unlikely that it will do any harm, but it is still better not to place much hope in such diseases.

If you really want to, is it possible?

Many people note that a massage bed helps them even if there are certain contraindications. We are all different, but we have one life and everyone lives it as they want. If you feel that you have the strength and desire, try, but remember that prudence comes first!

Negative reviews

They are written by those for whom the Seragem bed did not help improve their health. There are also patients whose condition has significantly worsened after massage and warming sessions. The developers warn that in the initial stages of treatment, short-term exacerbations and deteriorations are quite possible, as the body begins to fight illnesses. Unfortunately, for some people, the deterioration after sessions on the Seragem bed is so serious that they have to consult a doctor and even undergo surgery. The main reason for the negative result is the lack of examination of patients before the sessions. That is, the formula “be your own doctor” is not suitable here, because not everyone who wants to use the South Korean new product for free knows for sure that he has no contraindications.

By the way, whether for this reason or for some other, the sale of Seragem massage beds in America has been temporarily suspended.

Author's opinion

Innovations listed in advertising brochures for massage beds can have a very strong impact on the consciousness of people with serious spinal diseases. Among the “revolutionary” innovations are low-frequency myostimulation, infrared radiation, manual therapy, and reflexology. The mention of turmanium and jade in advertising can confuse even a trained person. Abstruse medical terms and claims of medical breakthroughs have a particular impact on older people.

Massage therapists, in turn, do not agree that the machine can determine the condition of the muscles and perform the procedure taking into account the pain syndrome. The practitioner evaluates complaints and observes the patient's reaction, monitors muscle condition, monitors relaxation and tension and, guided by experience, applies various elements of massage. Even the most advanced technology cannot do this.

Moreover, infrared radiation systems used in massage beds have a lot of contraindications.

Of course, a device produced in a large factory and stuffed with electronics inspires confidence, unlike all sorts of healers. Especially when the device comes with a long list of awards presented to its creators at prestigious international exhibitions.

Meanwhile, the manufacturers of expensive massagers themselves say that with prolonged use of the devices, an addictive effect occurs. It is logical to assume that in the event of a sudden refusal of therapeutic procedures of this kind, a person’s health condition may significantly deteriorate.

Assembly

1. The diagram for assembling a massage table with your own hands begins with marking the tabletop. On the prepared plywood I marked two elements measuring 600 x 900 millimeters. After that, I cut out the parts using a jigsaw.

I sanded the ends of the resulting blanks with sandpaper to remove burrs and make them smooth.

In the blank, which will be the front part, a cutout for the face is marked. I cut out an oval hole measuring 180 x 110 millimeters using a jigsaw. The edges were also treated with sandpaper.

Drawing of a lounger with dimensions

1. After making the lid I started working on the frame. From timber measuring 20 x 50 millimeters, I made four sections of 900 millimeters in length and four sections of 550 millimeters in length.

Using self-tapping screws 45 millimeters long, the beam must be connected in such a way that you get two frames measuring 900 x 600 millimeters, they are measured at the outer ends.

There is no need to rush with the screws; before connecting the bars, I made holes 3 millimeters deep in them. This prevents the wood from cracking. We attach the tabletop element to the finished frames. For fastening we use self-tapping screws 20 millimeters long.

1. Next I started finishing the top cover. I carefully spread the glue over the tabletop and laid a sheet of foam rubber on top. After some time, I repeated the procedure and secured the second sheet of foam rubber. After the glue had dried, I carefully cut out an oval for the face and removed excess material around the edges.

The next step is stretching the leatherette. I carefully secured it to the tabletop without compressing the foam too much. I folded the edges of the material and brought it behind the frame, stitching it with a stapler to secure it. The stitch pitch is 0 millimeters. First I secured the material on the long sides, and only then on the short ones.

The hardest part is the corners. The material must be secured without the formation of folds or unevenness. On the short side I left small cutouts for the loops.

It's the turn of the legs.

Legs for massage table

I assembled the legs as shown in the diagram. The most difficult thing when assembling a massage table with your own hands is to achieve stability and an even cut. The table should not wobble. The cut must be made carefully and accurately. In total I needed two of these blanks.

I assembled the next supports using a similar pattern; two of them were also needed.

We connect the first pair of supports with the second using self-tapping screws. I ended up with two identical sets of legs. No distortions are allowed; this must be checked immediately.

Final connection of parts.

Connecting all the parts
I marked the places for the hinges on the inside frames of the table top. They are placed right at the corners of the structure. Then I secured the hinges and tried on supports for them. To check for foldability, you can fasten the hinges to the legs with only one self-tapping screw along the central hole in the hinges.

All main connections should be easy to fold and not jam. This should be taken care of before all the screws are tightened.

1. The final step involves making a spacer that will give the portable table more stability.

To do this, two bars 53 centimeters long are connected with a piano loop. After this, I connected the ends of the element to the short part of the table supports. In a stationary position, this part will unfold together with the supports.
