Taking baths is one of the most important things in our daily life. Considering bathing, our skeleton structure has one shortage that everybody has to face: we can't reach our own backs. It is this shortage that brings in an ancient profession: back-rubbing, whose birth can be traced back to Song dynasty from historic records.

        There is one general misunderstanding about back-rubbing. That is to see back-rubbing as merely a routine cleaning process. On the contrary, back-rubbing is far more than only simple body leaning. Back-rubbing is mainly a health-keeping activity and has important health enhancement effects.

        Scientific analysis revealed that more than 95% of the dirt that back-rubbing removed are dead hardened skin debris. Those debris, mixed with sweat and body grease, form a tight "shirt" wrapping your chest and back. It usually provides inhabitation for dirt, then cause hair pores clogged and eventually lead to back itchiness and diseases.

        On the other hand, from the point of view of human body structure, back can never be over-emphasized. There are altogether more than 50 muscles on your back, which are constantly used whenever you lie, sit or stand. However, due to the fact that we can't massage our own back, the lack of care can easily cause back muscle hardening and nerve nexus numbness, which explains the old saying, waist aches and back sore. Apart from that, from the point of view of Chinese neuro-medical science, lots of important nexus are distributed on people's back. Among those nexuses, some are related to your internal organs such as lung, heart, stomach, liver, gall bladder and kidney. Chinese medical science believes that these neuro-nexuses are the channels through which the internal organs communicate with the outside environment. Massaging these nexuses will help to keep these related organs in good status and help recover from diseases. Unfortunately, due to the limitation of our hand reach, we can't massage our own back..

        Back-rubbing can remove aging, hardened surface skin debris together with the dirt attached to the skin surface and eventually enable clogged hair pores a thorough breathing. In the same time, back-rubbing is actually a massaging activity during which all your muscle, fat, vascular, neuro-system and nexuses are touched and pressed. That's the reason why those who have experienced a back-rubbing service usually feel relaxed and refreshing after the back-rubbing.

        how to do back-rubbing, we have two practical ways:

        1. Do It Yourself
        In the past, people used a towel to rub their back by holding the two ends of the towel and performing a "sawing" motion. However, the quality is bad due to the fact that such back-rubbing doesn't exert direct pressure onto your back and therefore doesn't have functions such as removing aging skin debris, removing dirt and massaging, no mention that most elders or those who suffer from arm, shoulder diseases can't even perform such back-rubbings. So a relatively big number of people haven't even experienced the true pleasure offered by back-rubbing.

        2. Hiring back-rubbing workers in a public bathing place

        Beside inconveniency, the most drawback of hiring back-rubbing workers in a public bathing place is the bad sanitation condition. It has been a common knowledge that public bathing places are the most dangerous place for skin diseases, inhalation system diseases and virus to spread because of the temperature, moisture, bad air ventilation, body contacts and the broad range of customers there. In developed countries like Europe and America, public bathing places are history now. Nowadays, with the improvements of people's housing situation, most of families in China cities own their own bathrooms and bathing at home became a common phenomenon. On the other hand, since the increase of people's sanitation standard, less and less people still go to public bathing places and even less still hire back-rubbing workers. So back-rubbing actually became a difficulty for many people.
        The invention of SELF back-washer is targeted at solving this problem. It contains two basic function disks:

        1. washing disk

        Washing disk is composed of plastic base, silicon rubber elastic bowl and sponge rubbing cloth cover. The cloth cover can be easily exchanged. When it works, it rubs your body in a gentle rotational motion, providing you a lift force unlike the forward rough type from those back-rubber workers. Those human power back-rubbing is nothing comparable to the excellent dirt removing and massaging pleasure that our back-washer offers. The friction between the cloth cover and your skin will give you a pleasant tickling feeling similar to electrical stationary. Companied by this tickling, rub away the dirt on your back, chest, belly and arms, wash away the dead hardening skin debris, allow every hair pore breath freely and reduce skin disease risk. More than that, deep massaging back muscle and nexus will activate under-skin tissues, enhance blood circulation and reduce excessive under-skin fat. It'll give you a comfortable refreshing feeling afterwards.

        2. massaging disk

        SELF auto back-washer is also equipped with magic magnetic rotational massaging disk. Three magnetic silicon rubber balls (with individual magnetic strength of 2000GS) rotate on the smooth plastic cover surface, massaging your back muscle group inside this rotating magnetic field. It stimulates many nexus, activate deep under-skin tissue, clean out blood vessels and neuro-network, relieve muscle pains and greatly enhance your health.
        SELF auto back-washer is the first innovation in this field through out the whole world. Its appearance means the birth of a new generation scientific bathing pleasure and health-keeping activity and will greatly improve the quality of your life.
