Preface

Congratulations! You are about to learn how to harness the capabilities of ultrasonic massager. This book is written for all who are looking for guides on how to use the ultrasonic massager for relieving pain. We will show you to use the ultrasonic massager correctly and effectively to relieve pains in different parts of the body.

The pain relief techniques are similar to the therapies that chiropractic clinics or medical specialists use. All techniques will be simply explained so that the readers will be able to grasp their significance and apply them easily.

This is a practical book. We have kept this book brief and avoid unnecessary theories and medical terms. Full practical examples are provided so that the reader will be able to test out by themselves the techniques or procedures that are described. Ultrasonic massaging alone may not provide full relief. You will need complementary therapeutic exercises to get good results. Clearly illustrated therapeutic exercises are included for treating pains in different parts of the body. These exercises are similar to the one that are used by specialists.  

Additionally, we will also provide you with information on two other types of pain relieving techniques, namely, infrared therapy and EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation). We will give you practical guides on how use them.

Before you begin using any type of ultrasonic massager it is advisable that you consult a doctor before you start using it. The massager should not be used carelessly. The ultrasonic waves emitted by the massager may have adverse effects on sensitive parts of the human body. So do please take time to ponder over this issue for personal safety.

For brevity purpose, throughout this book, we may refer to the ‘ultrasonic massager’ as ‘massager’. So whenever we refer to the ‘massager’ we are referring to the ‘ultrasonic massager’, unless otherwise stated.

We hope that you will gain useful and practical knowledge after you have finished reading this book. Happy ultrasonic massaging!
