INSTRUCTIONS

• Use on bare skin with massage oil, to reduce friction and improve the gliding motion of the KOAPRO tool; or use over tight clothing. It can be used on most body parts, including feet, back, legs, shoulders, scalp, hands, hips, calves, and shoulders.
• Start with light up-and-down, side-to-side, and diagonal strokes to "warm up" tissue. You can vary the pressure and intensity, as tolerated.
• You can gradually add more pressure to promote a deeper massage. Lighten pressure if you are feeling uncomfortable. A typical session includes 20 progressively deeper passes over each muscle group, with about 30 seconds per area.
• You can use the “fingers” of the tool and the end “thumbs” to apply pressure to relax tension, and the flat edges and handle to smooth over bumpy areas. If a certain spot feels tense, ease into it by massaging all around it and working your way toward the sore area.
• For deep trigger points, you can press in and apply pressure for about 30 to 90 seconds. 
• For hard-to-reach areas that might require more pressure, you may also lie on the KOAPRO Fascia Massage Tool, put it against the wall, or use a straight, hard-back chair and lean against it.
• After loosening up focused areas, lightly rub these spots with your hands to promote faster relief.
• Be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your KOAPRO massage to stay well hydrated.
• For best results, please consult with a trained professional to ensure the tool is properly used to address your specific needs.

COMMON NORMAL SIDE EFFECTS

Bruising, temporary muscle soreness and swelling may result and should resolve within a few days. Apply gentle pressure to minimize side effects.
