There are 4 automatic massage programs, 8 manual massage programs and 3 manual back massage courses. There are also lower body air massage capabilities for the calves and feet.

Shiatsu provides general stimulation of the back, neck, and shoulders using gentle shiatsu, deep rubbing, and tapping actions. The Swedish provides general relaxation of the muscles of the back, neck and shoulders through longer movements, circular movements and rhythmic actions. Stretching provides a general stretching of the back muscles through rolling, pressure, shiatsu, and kneading massages. Quick provides relaxation for the back, neck and shoulders through rhythmic actions, circular movements, squeezing and tapping.

Kneading is particularly effective for the neck and shoulders. Compression is recommended for relaxation of the whole body. The Swede loosens up large areas of the back. Hawaiian helps relieve tension in the lower back. Gentle shiatsu is excellent for loosening knots in your back. Tapping loosens the finer neck muscles or as a final massage. Regional rolling provides a focused rolling of the back muscles. The full swing provides a general stretch for the back muscles.

To massage the feet, the leg rest should be more horizontal and you should bend your knees to place your feet. The leg rest provides an air compression massage. This is achieved by powering the airbags built into the leg rest. They provide a gentle or firm massage to squeeze, hold and release. This is particularly effective in relieving tight, sore or sore muscles in the calves and feet.
Website design By BotEap.comThe remote control of the EP 1272 is well designed. The main automatic programs work with one-touch buttons. The manual massage functions are contained in a central side panel of the main remote control. The side panel can be opened to reveal the manual controls.

You can also select the focus area for the back. There are options for the neck/shoulders, lower back, and pointing.
