They are not. The techniques differ in how deep they reach into the muscle, how pleasant they are and what they are for. Below is an explanation of each, with the body areas it is used for.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sijacu\">Shiatsu massage<\/h2>\n<p>Shiatsu is a Japanese finger-pressure technique. In devices, it is performed by nodes or heads that rotate in circles and change direction. It acts on deeper muscle layers and is most often combined with heating. It is used for the neck, shoulders, back and feet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:.92rem;color:var(--siva-500)\"><strong>Body areas:<\/strong> neck, shoulders, back, feet<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-89df163 elementor-widget elementor-widget-naipo-dugme\" data-id=\"89df163\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"naipo-dugme.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><a class=\"dugme dugme-obrub dugme-malo\" href=\"https:\/\/naipocare.rs\/en\/product-category\/massagers-by-purpose\/neck-and-shoulder-massager\/\">Neck, shoulder and back massagers in our range <svg class=\"ikona\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.6\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"m9 5 7 7-7 7\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4cfc8d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d4cfc8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 id=\"perkusivna\">Percussion massage<\/h2>\n<p>The head moves back and forth several thousand times per minute.

The head stroke amplitude determines how intense it feels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:.92rem;color:var(--siva-500)\"><strong>Body areas:<\/strong> thighs, calves, back, arms, shoulders<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f359a09 elementor-widget elementor-widget-naipo-dugme\" data-id=\"f359a09\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"naipo-dugme.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><a class=\"dugme dugme-obrub dugme-malo\" href=\"https:\/\/naipocare.rs\/en\/product-category\/massagers-by-form\/massage-gun\/\">Massage guns in our range <svg class=\"ikona\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.6\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"m9 5 7 7-7 7\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09ca51d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"09ca51d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 id=\"kompresiona\">Air compression<\/h2>\n<p>Cuffs around the feet, calves and thighs fill with air in sequence, pushing fluid towards the heart.

On most Naipo devices, it is turned on with a separate button and can work without massage. It is not a therapy in itself, but it enhances the effect of the other techniques.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:.92rem;color:var(--siva-500)\"><strong>Body areas:<\/strong> all areas<\/p>\n<h2>How long and how often<\/h2>\n<p>The same rule applies to all techniques: 15 to 20 minutes per area is enough. Most devices have a built-in timer that switches them off, usually after 15 or 20 minutes. Longer use does not give better results and can cause muscle tenderness the next day.<\/p>\n<p>For massage guns, the recommendation is up to two minutes per muscle group. Foot hydromassage is usually used two to three times a week.<\/p>\n<h2>When a massager is not the answer<\/h2>\n<p>A massage device relaxes the muscle and improves circulation. It does not treat the cause of pain. If pain lasts longer than a few weeks, spreads to an arm or leg, or comes with numbness, see a doctor before buying any device.<\/p>\n<p>Do not use a massager on open wounds, on a fresh injury, directly on the vertebrae or on the front of the neck. If you are pregnant, have a pacemaker, diabetes, thrombosis or phlebitis, consult a doctor before use.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49771d1 e-con-full n-poz-kolona e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"49771d1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b78e7cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-naipo-bocna\" data-id=\"b78e7cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"naipo-bocna.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<aside class=\"bocna\"><div class=\"bocna-kutija\"><h3>On this page<\/h3><ul>\n<li><a href=\"#sijacu\">Shiatsu massage<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#perkusivna\">Percussion massage<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#kompresiona\">Air compression<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#akupresurna\">Acupressure massage<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#vibraciona\">Vibration massage<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#hidromasaza\">Hydromassage<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#grejanje\">Heating<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><div class=\"bocna-kutija\"><h3>Need advice?<\/h3><p>Tell us where you feel tension and how often you would use the device.
