The Effect of Controlled Massage Applied at Birth on Labor Pain and Duration and Maternal Satisfaction

Massage methods that are performed with mechanical methods are called automated massage. Automated massage is also individual-controlled massage. This is because in automated massage, to relax, solve or reduce their pain, the individual applies the massage under their own control or under the control of someone else through a controller in a way where the duration and intensity of the massage in the body part of application vary. Individual-controlled massage devices may be in the form of chairs, cushions, beds and mattresses. These massage devices have functions such as vibrating, applying vacuum, imitating manual massage motions and applying heat.
