A ridoki is a traditional Japanese massage tool often used to stimulate blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. Here's how to use it:
Preparation
:
Make sure your skin is clean and dry before using the ridoki. You can also apply massage oil or lotion if you wish to make it easier for the tool to glide over the skin.
Positioning
:
Hold the ridoki by the handle, making sure the rollers or spikes are in contact with the skin.
Application
:
Apply light to moderate pressure depending on your comfort. Do not force or press too hard, especially on sensitive areas.
Gently roll the ridoki over the desired area. You can use back and forth, circular or linear movements.
Use gentle, slow strokes on the forehead, cheeks and jawline. Avoid the areas around the eyes.
Duration
:
Use the ridoki for approximately 2 to 10 minutes per session, depending on the area being treated and your comfort.
After use
:
Clean the ridoki after each use with a damp cloth and disinfect it regularly to prevent the proliferation of bacteria.
