4. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
The Echo Muscle Scraper is designed for effective soft tissue mobilization. Follow these steps for optimal use:
- Apply Emollient: Apply the Revive Emollient Spray (or similar skin-safe lotion/oil) generously on the target area. This ensures smooth gliding of the tool and prevents skin irritation.
- Select Curvature: Choose the appropriate curvature of the Echo Muscle Scraper that best fits the contours of the body part you are treating. The tool features various angles for different muscle groups.
- Apply Pressure and Massage: Starting with light to moderate pressure, begin working the target area for approximately 20 seconds at a time. Scrape in up and down motions, following the muscle fibers and avoiding bony or sensitive areas. The patented anti-fatigue grip allows for deep pressure with less effort.
- Target Surrounding Muscles: Scrape the area surrounding the injured site using light, long strokes. This helps to loosen tight muscles contributing to the pain and enhances blood flow, promoting faster healing.
For detailed techniques covering over 50 muscle and joint issues, refer to the included 150-page instruction guide, which also provides video demonstrations.
