Swedish Massage is a soft and gentle massage that replicates a flowing, stroking sensation of hands, rolling along your spine, which is a simple and effective way of relieving muscle tension. The HoMedics Swedish massager has 4 travelling massage nodes which provide a deep kneading swedish massage, with the option of heat which provides a more penetrating massage experience to relieve muscle tension and fatigue. The pre-programmed zone buttons allow you to target specific areas of the back: Full, upper and lower. The fully functioning remote control allows you to operate the HoMedics Swedish massager with complete ease and control.
