We have had the Migun massage bed at the Osteo Clinic for about three weeks now. We are gradually exploring the potential of this amazing machine. There are seven programmes to choose from:

  1. General massage- whole spine massage and finger pressure
  2. Upper Body Massage- massage and finger pressure concentrating on thoracic spine and neck
  3. Lower Back Massage- massage and finger pressure concentrating on lumbar spine and pelvis
  4. Finger Pressure- More sustained acupressure like treatment for whole spine
  5. Massage- Massage only with no sustained pressure
  6. Abdominal Massage- massage for abdominal muscles lying face down on the bed
  7. Manual- Sustained finger pressure at any point on whole back

    8. The Migun bed also has a lower limb unit that massages the calves (or shins when using P6 for the abdomen). The lower unit also works to subtly change the body’s position to increase or decrease the pressure provided by the upper body treatment heads. Though some programmes concentrate on one part of the back the treatment bed will still work the rest of the spine but with less pressure. This is achieved by clever sequencing with the lower limb unit. On programme 2 the lower unit can also be used to do a relaxing foot massage

    As well as the built in Jade heads the bed comes with two external units that plug in to the bed. These units also have Jade heads heated by far infrared filaments. They are designed to provide heat to other areas during Migun therapyMigun large external unit with jade heads heated by far infrared
    The large unit is often placed on the abdomen chest or thighs.

    The small unit is convenient to use on the neck shoulder or head. The temperature of the built in jade heads can be set between 50° and 70°, those in the external units between 40° and 70°.

    Migun recommend a maximum session of one hour. The whole spine programmes last between 30 and 40 minutes. The upper spine, lower spine, foot, spinal massage only and abdominal programmes are shorter. A one hour session can consist of one long programme and two short ones or two or three short programmes.
