Massage bed: benefits and harms, reviews from doctors
What is better – prevention or treatment? The answer is obvious. A massage bed is a wonderful device, thanks to which many diseases bypass a person, and those that have already appeared are cured faster.
After all, the massager stretches and straightens the spine, on which the health of almost all internal organs directly depends. It's no surprise that many users leave rave reviews about massage beds.
But are there any pitfalls here? How to get the most out of a massage bed and avoid risks when buying a massage bed? In this article we have collected the basic rules for using a massage bed, reviews from doctors and recommendations from specialists.
Correct body position
Pay attention to how to lie down correctly - so that there is no pressure on the internal projector, i.e. You can't sit on it! You also cannot turn around or stand up while the internal projector is moving because:
- the board located under the internal projector may break,
- there is a load on the spine, which can cause displacement of the vertebrae or simply uncomfortable sensations.
If there is an exacerbation of symptoms of existing diseases, do not stop the sessions, also do them daily. During this period, it is recommended to do 2-3 sessions per day with an interval between sessions of at least 4 hours.
The course of treatment with a massager must begin at 55º C (minimum 10 sessions). Then you can gradually increase the temperature, guided by your feelings. The maximum effect is achieved at a temperature of 70º C (since only at this temperature the effect of cauterization with wormwood sticks on biologically active points is given).
BUT! This temperature must be reached gradually! If you took a break in sessions for more than 5 days (and the last session was already taken at a temperature of 65º - 70º C), take the first few sessions (5-7) again at 55 º C.
If you have diseases such as urolithiasis or gallstones, then all sessions must be taken at a temperature no higher than 55ºC until the stones “go away”. Higher temperatures can cause stones to move. It is strongly recommended that you be observed by your attending physician during this period (ultrasound, tests, etc.).
If you have high blood pressure, then you do not need to drink water immediately before the session, it is better after the session. You can also install the main mat at an angle of 10º (for a more comfortable feeling during the session).
If you have any colds or inflammatory diseases, you can take sessions lying on your back on tourmanium ceramics with simultaneous foot massage (see remote control, second program).
BUT! The session can only be taken if you do not have an increase in body temperature of more than 37.2º.
If you have diseases such as varicose veins or thrombophlebitis: mechanical massage on the affected areas is contraindicated. To treat these problems, take advantage of the effects of tourmanium ceramics at a temperature that is comfortable for you.
Before taking myostimulation, be sure to read the contraindications. Myostimulation can provoke the growth of existing benign and malignant formations. But the massager itself does not provoke the growth of these tumors.
The myostimulator is used both to remove fat deposits and increase muscle tone, and for healing purposes. Namely:
Myostimulation session on the abdomen – improving intestinal motility, tightening the abdominal muscles. But! Do not eat for 2 hours before the session and 2 hours after.
For pain syndromes (attack of radiculitis, exacerbation of osteochondrosis, etc.) – myostimulation of sore muscles for 10-15 minutes, then a session on a massage bed (according to the first or second program, see “remote control”).
Foot massage: through a damp cloth with feet on a myostimulator - working out biologically active points on the feet, foot massage - relieving fatigue. The same with the palms.
To remove fat deposits, you can use it in combination with anti-cellulite creams, applying the belt to problem areas.
How does the myostimulation procedure work?
Before starting a course of procedures, you should undergo a general examination with consultation with a physiotherapist or cosmetologist. This will help assess the general condition of the body, exclude the presence of contraindications and select the optimal mode of operation of the device for a particular patient.
Additional preparation for myostimulation is not required - it is enough to thoroughly clean the surface of the body for better contact with the electrodes. If necessary, you can do scrubbing or peeling. Immediately before the procedure, you should remove all metal jewelry and replace your clothing with a comfortable set of underwear or swimsuit.
Sequence of actions for myostimulation:
- The patient assumes a supine position in a comfortable, relaxed position.
- Previously, special compounds are applied to the places where the electrodes are attached to increase electrical conductivity. For additional effect, drugs with active ingredients for nutrition, skin rejuvenation and/or additional therapeutic effect are used.
- The doctor attaches the electrodes of the myostimulation apparatus to pre-selected points of the body, securing them with elastic belts.
- The necessary parameters are set on the device - current strength, contraction frequency, rhythm of stimulation, duration of stimulation.
- The device is started, gradually increasing the impact to the specified values.
Attention!
When the device is set up correctly, there is no pain during myostimulation. In case of increased sensitivity of the body, as well as when using older models of devices, minor discomfort is allowed.
The duration of the session is 10-20 minutes. At the end of it, you should remove the contact gel, take a shower (if possible) and lubricate the surface of the skin with a special cream, after which you can go about your daily activities. Myostimulation course includes 10-25 sessions. The achieved result must be maintained with moderate physical activity or periodic repeated courses of myostimulation.
The procedure should be carried out no more than once every 2 days. A break is necessary to give the body time to recover and the muscles to rest from the load. Otherwise, they will lose the ability to actively respond to current impulses, and further treatment will be ineffective.
On a note!
For those who are interested in how much myostimulation costs in Moscow, we note that the price is determined taking into account the level of the clinic, the model of the device, the number of points of influence and the number of procedures. The individual needs of the patient are also taken into account - the use of therapeutic and rejuvenating gels, the duration of the session.
Contraindications for the use of low-frequency cushion - myostimulator
- Pregnancy
- The device cannot be used by people who have a biocontrolled pacemaker implanted.
- For heart diseases, especially in the stage of decompensation
- Do not use during viral diseases accompanied by fever.
- Do not use for people suffering from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract during exacerbations, as well as exacerbations of urolithiasis and cholelithiasis.
- It should not be used by people with severe mental disorders, as well as by people suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction.
- Do not use for people suffering from cancer.
- It is advisable to refrain from stimulating the abdominal muscles for 1.5 hours after eating.
- Electrodes should not be installed on inflamed skin, areas with open wounds, cuts, or areas where surgery has recently been performed, if less than 9 months have passed since the operation.
- Do not apply electrodes to areas affected by phlebitis or thrombophlebitis. It is not recommended to install electrodes on areas with varicose veins.
- Electrodes should not be placed on areas of the body opposite broken bones, since the pressure of the muscle during its contraction can have an undesirable effect on the process of bone fusion.
- If there is a need to correct the position of the electrodes during the procedure, set the intensity regulators to the “off” position.
The operation of the equipment is based on three principles of oriental medicine: reflexology, acupressure, moxibustion.
The main functions of the bed are heating and massage. The heating effect uses cauterization and infrared radiation. In movement - the effect of massage and manual therapy. All this is provided by the internal projector. It is made of semi-precious jade stone, the name of which literally means “stone of the small of the back.” Many Spanish conquistadors who took part in long campaigns often spent the night near the fire, and therefore suffered from renal colic and radiculitis. They collected jade pebbles along the river banks, heated them in cauldrons with water, and then poured them into leather bags and placed them on the lower back. The heating pad relieved the pain. Jade is good because its strength is greater than that of steel, it is resistant to abrasion and retains heat longer than other types.
The developers used this stone in their equipment because, when heated, it emits long-wave infrared rays. The internal projector, moving along the spine, provides an acupressure effect similar to finger pressure. Thus, it straightens the curvature of the spine and releases the pinched roots of the spinal cord. Due to the heat of infrared rays, the roots awaken, blood circulation improves, muscle spasms are relieved, mobility is restored, and the functions of internal organs are normalized.
There is also an additional five-ball external projector, also made of jade stone. Its shape minimizes infrared heat loss. It can be used on any part of the body that needs to improve blood circulation, resolve blood clots, eliminate swelling, relieve fatigue, etc.
The additional mat contains tourmanium ceramics. This invention of the South Korean company is a complex alloy of tourmaline, germanium and volcanic rocks. Tourmaline is a complex mineral. A mineral is a natural compound of chemical elements formed naturally, without human intervention. A striking feature of tourmaline is that its crystals are rarely uniformly colored. This indicates the presence of various minerals in it: potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron... Germanium is a chemical element from the periodic table.
An important area of application of germanium is infrared technology. Volcanic rocks are rocks formed as a result of a volcanic eruption. Ceramic alloy minerals easily penetrate into the human body. Tourmanium mat is used to enhance the effect of thermal infrared radiation and is a source of negatively charged ions. There are hundreds of times fewer negative ions in city air than, for example, in mountain air. In enclosed spaces there are practically no of them at all, but there are many harmful positive ones. They are thrown out in huge quantities from monitors and TV screens. In addition, a person himself is a source of positive charges.
In such an environment, our body constantly suffers from a lack of negative ions, and in stressful situations such a deficiency provokes the development of diseases. Near a TV or monitor, the ion concentration is “absolute 0.” The consequences of this are headaches, dizziness, depression, nausea, insomnia, loss of appetite, cataracts, skin and cancer diseases, and miscarriages in pregnant women.
City dwellers spend almost 90% of their time indoors. In apartments, the air is 4–6 times dirtier and more toxic than necessary. These ions have a beneficial effect on the human condition, as they activate the immune system and have a pronounced anti-stress, antimicrobial and antiviral effect. To protect yourself from a lack of “-” ions, everyone needs artificial ionization.
What two aspects are achieved as a result of treatment?
Two components of healing are blood and nerves, and the effect on them. Blood is an important part of our body. Our health depends on its quality. In childhood, the blood is clean, liquid and moves quickly through uncontaminated vessels. With age, under the influence of poor nutrition, the environment, and lack of systematic physical training, the blood becomes viscous and clogged, the vessels become fragile, and cholesterol plaques are deposited on their walls, which narrows the lumen of the blood vessels.
As a result of heating with long-wave infrared rays, the blood and vessel walls are cleansed, blood circulation in all tissues and organs is improved, and the hematopoietic function is enhanced. The spine is the pillar of life.
With age, under heavy physical and prolonged static loads, changes in the intervertebral discs occur, which leads to infringement of one or another spinal cord root. This leads to pain and dysfunction of human organs. During the massage, the pinched root is released. But to revive it, the heat of infrared rays is used (cauterization method).
What doctors say
Consultation with a doctor to use the massage bed for treatment is required.
Doctors agree that Korean medicine at this stage of development is considered one of the best. Moreover, products from Nuga Medical line nougat best use alternative medicine, thereby not having a negative impact on other body systems. Therefore, most doctors in Russia recommend using a massage bed from Nougat Best as a preventative measure for various diseases and during the rehabilitation period. But they still insist that complex diseases, especially those in the acute stage, must be subjected to complex treatment.
What effect does the equipment have on the body?
Nuga Best equipment is multifunctional. It allows for effective prevention and recovery of a wide range of diseases, combining various methods: reflexology, manual therapy, infrared physiotherapy, low-frequency myostimulation.
Thanks to the complex effect, muscles relax and spinal deformity is eliminated. As the vertebrae and intervertebral discs snap into place, compressed nerves are released. A pressure of 0.02 g on a nerve impairs the function of the organ to which the nerve is connected by 40%. The cauterization effect used on Nuga Best revitalizes the released nerve. The organ receives a full impulse for proper functioning.
Using the Maxibustion method (long-term pressure and deep heating on the reflexogenic zone), blood circulation is restored, inflammation and swelling are relieved. It is this method that promotes the production of blood cells in the body, increasing the production of interferron, which increases the body’s defenses, enhances the contractile function of the heart muscle, and promotes the production of the hormone melatonin by the pineal gland. This hormone prevents stress, cancer, heart disease, slows down the aging process, and strengthens the immune system.
Maxibustion has a positive effect on the digestive system, helps eliminate harmful substances from the body by cleansing the blood and blood vessels. Improving metabolism leads to an increase in the viability of all cells of the body and their reproduction.

The mechanism of the effect of a bed on a person
As you can see, the bed and its additional parts affect all parts of the human body, including internal organs. Now let's take a closer look at the structure of the device and its purpose.
What function improves blood circulation
Long-wave rays penetrate deeply into the body. Their heat breaks down cholesterol on the walls of blood vessels, which is a type of fat. With the cauterization effect, blood quickly flows to the place of heating for cooling and cleanses the blood vessels. In this way, even completely clogged capillaries are cleared of cholesterol. Digested cholesterol and other waste products are eliminated from the body naturally. Also, thanks to heat, the clumped red blood cells are separated and become more elastic and flexible. This restores blood circulation at the capillary level, and flexible red blood cells can penetrate capillaries that are 3 times smaller in diameter.
What function does blood purify?
When exposed to the heat of infrared rays, cholesterol, toxins, and waste products are broken down and removed from the body through the kidneys and skin pores. This is why it is recommended to take a shower after treatment to prevent toxins from getting back into the blood and causing liver contamination. Of no small importance is the restoration of pancreatic function due to the release and awakening of the corresponding nerve root. This normalizes insulin production and reduces blood sugar. This involves massage and heating functions.
First visit to the salon
As soon as you cross the threshold, they will immediately pay attention to you, and this, of course, is very pleasant. You will be shown and told in full how the Nuga Best device works, contraindications, reviews about it, the advantages of the device - nothing will remain hidden. They will also certainly ask about your well-being and give their recommendations regarding further procedures. All this is very good and, of course, inviting. But!
Remember that the person who met you at the door is just a manager. He may have medical training in some field or not at all. He knows very well how the procedures are performed, how the equipment works, and he also knows how to pique your interest and how to sell you this bed. But “Nuga Best” also has contraindications, so it is important to understand whether this device is suitable for you and whether it will cause harm.
The person who meets you is in no way interested in harming you, but simple ignorance of the characteristics of your body and hidden diseases can lead to a serious mistake. Therefore, before going for the procedure, carefully study the reviews of doctors about Nuga Best. Contraindications are something that cannot be ignored. Elementary negligence can lead to serious health problems.
Operating principle of the low-frequency cushion
The work of the myostimulator is based on low-frequency electrical impulses (less than 1000 Hz). The human body has electrical impulses. A spark ignites the fuel. Electrical discharges constantly occur in our heart. In children, the voltage of the charges is 5 - 6 V, and in adults 2 - 3 V. It is possible to increase the voltage only if the muscles are not constrained and the nerves are not pinched. The principles of physiotherapy and myostimulation are involved here.
Under the influence of low frequency currents, Maxibustion muscles contract in an accelerated manner. This leads to energy consumption and the breakdown of fats. Myostimulation also has the unique property of increasing blood circulation tens of times, which provides tissues with oxygen and nutrients, improves blood circulation, and enhances lymphatic drainage.
The action of the myostimulator leads to pain relief, reduction of fat deposits and muscle training. The pillow regularly expands and contracts the skin structure, improving its condition. After myostimulation, the walls of the large intestine are cleansed of toxins and poisons.
