user. Fewer bars means both less time and less strength. If 
you don’t want a massage at all in an area, set the bars to 
“0”.
Massage Sequence
The massage starts in the area with the highest numbers of 
bars selected, and moves successively from highest to 
lowest.
If the levels of fatigue are the same, the massage will follow 
the sequence of “NECK,” “SHOULDER,” “MIDDLE,” and 
then “LOWER.”
