- [Rich] If you want a full body massage
in less than five minutes, keep watching.
Tamera and I are going to show you how to use a car polisher
to relieve your aches and pains
and help you feel better fast.
My name is Rich Poley.
I wrote the book Self-Massage for Athletes
to help you get a free, powerful massage anywhere, anytime.
The WP 900 may be the best self massage tool money can buy,
and we've bought and used
a lot of massage tools over the years,
but we were reluctant to try this one because, well,
it's not even a massage tool.
It's a power tool.
Finally though, we tried it
and we were blown away by how effective it is,
but enough about us.
Here's what you'll learn in the rest of this video.
The facts on the WP 900,
how it works, how to use it as a massage tool,
the four basic massage strokes it delivers,
what it does best,
who should use it
who shouldn't use it, and much, much more.
WP 900 weighs in at 3.4 pounds,
sports two strong handles,
is electric and has a 10 foot power cord.
It's made in marketed by Black & Decker
as a floor, furniture, boat,
and car waxer/polisher.
The buffing pad is made of soft wool
and oscillates at 4,400 orbits per minute.
As car waxer/polishers go,
it may not be the best,
but for massaging the human body,
it's just about perfect.
The WP 900 is part of a general class of power tools
known as random orbit dual action devices,
which means the pad doesn't just spin or oscillate.
It does both things simultaneously.
It uses a mechanism that causes its pad
to both rotate in a circle
and oscillate in an eclectic pattern inside the circle.
The oscillation causes the buffing pad to wobble.
Every time its wool bonnet touches your body,
it touches you in a unique way.
How cool is that?
It has one button.
Press it once you turn it on,
and again, to turn it off.
But this one button device can deliver
four unique massage strokes.
Stroke number one is a flat gliding stroke.
Just glide the wool bonnet over your fabulous body
like Tamera is doing.
Slide it along your skin, using little pressure.
This is a warming stroke used to begin your massage
and get your body in the mood.
Stroke number two,
press the wool bonnet into your body in one place.
Press lightly at first.
The harder you press the warmer you get.
This is a great stroke to apply to sore muscles
that need heat and attention.
Stroke number three.
Hold the device so the side of its wool bonnet
is just touching your skin
and glide it over your beautiful body like so.
This stroke will give you a deeper massage
than the flat glide.
You can allow the wool bonnet to float
over your body or apply pressure for a different effect.
Stroke number four.
Hold the device just like you did in the prior stroke,
but don't move it.
Press it into your body in one spot
for deep tissue percussive massage.
This is the stroke that delivers a great spot massage
to sore, overworked muscles.
You can combine all four of these strokes
and by varying the pressure, angle,
and location of the wobbling head,
you can produce an infinite variety of sensations
anywhere and everywhere on your fabulous body.
The WP 900 isn't for everyone.
It's for active people to use before or after workouts
on sore, tired muscles.
It's for people who spend too much time
sitting in one place.
It's for people who are comfortable
living outside the rules.
Black & Decker does not recommend using WP 900 for massage.
If you want a spa or sensual massage,
the WP 900 is not for you.
It's also not a tool for treating serious injuries
or medical conditions.
If you have one, get professional care,
but the best thing that WP 900 can do
is give you a fast full body massage.
In just a few minutes,
it can have you feeling great all over again.
Because of what's called referred pain,
you don't always know where exactly
your pain is coming from.
By massaging your whole body, you eliminate your aches,
no matter their source.
And yes, the WP 900 has your back.
