There are 12 automatic programs to choose from and each of them has a different massage routine using specific techniques with different levels of intensity. The intensity can range from zero to five with 0 being the gentlest and 5 being the most intense. Some programs fluctuate between levels of intensity while others stay on the lower or higher end. For example, the Sweet Dreams program will spend most of its time in the 0 to 3 range. “Sweet Dreams” is a wonderful program to use just before bedtime to help prepare your body for sleep by encouraging blood to flow towards the core of the body. And, “Morning Buzz” is an excellent way to start your day with a program designed to encourage blood to flow back into the extremities. The "3D Strength" scale can be adjusted between Gentle, Soothing, and Vigorous. This setting will gauge the level of force in the 3D Strength that’s used during your auto program. So, if you choose Gentle, no matter which auto program you select, the 3D Strength on a scale of 0-5 will remain close to the bottom range. And, if you choose Soothing, the 3D Strength will move up higher on the scale and maybe reach 5 once. Lastly, if you choose Vigorous, the strength will move up higher on the scale and hit 5 more often. Essentially, each program could feel completely different every time depending on which strength you choose. And, over time as your body adjusts to the intensity levels, it gives you a nice range so you can make increases over time. Using the Vigorous level doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re going to get a deeper tissue massage. And, choosing Gentle doesn’t mean that you’ll get a gentler massage with less pressure on certain muscles. The levels of force really only affect how many times the rollers press deeper or less deep within an auto program. Each program has been carefully developed for specific needs and the following is a brief description of all 12 programs:
