Questions
Asked, and answered
What exactly is the machine?
One arm on a floor stand, beside an ordinary table. It changes its head for the work: pressure, warmth and a gentle draw. You choose the region and set the pressure before it moves, and a ceiling built into the arm caps it wherever you put it, at about the push of a seven kilo weight. No current, no shockwave.
How long is a session?
Recovery 60 is a full hour on the table, and every one of those sixty minutes is yours. The room is cleaned and reset before you arrive, not out of your time. Recovery 25 is the same work in half the time, inside a gym, a hotel or a practice.
Do I have to undress?
You undress to your comfort and lie face down. You are draped from the first moment and uncovered only where the head is working, because the head works on skin. A fresh cover every session, and the head is cleaned between guests.
How strong does it get?
As strong as you ask, and never stronger. You set the pressure before it moves and change it at any second. A ceiling built into the arm caps it wherever you set it, at about the push of a seven kilo weight. Most people set it lower than they planned and stay there.
What if I want it to stop?
You stop it. The stop control is in your hand for the whole hour, and once you have stopped it nothing resumes until you say so. The arm stops in under half a second, faster than you can say the word.
Is it safe?
A ceiling the arm cannot pass. A stop in your hand for the whole hour. It will not touch your neck, and it works only the region you chose. A person sets the session up with you and starts it. The limits and the law they sit under are written out on safety and standards.
Is this a medical treatment?
No. Sestala is recovery, and we make no therapy or healing claims for it. If something needs treatment, see a professional.
Who was on it before me?
Somebody. Between the two of you the cover is changed and a hygiene cycle runs, and the machine records the cycle.
Can it really replace a person?
Different jobs. What this does is be the same at nine in the evening as at nine in the morning, at the pressure you set, for the whole hour. If you want somebody to read a wince and change course, that is a different appointment, and we will tell you so.
What happens on my first visit?
Your first slot is longer, and a person meets you. They show you the room, put the control in your hand and the stop beside it, and answer anything you want to ask before the arm moves.
Do I need an account or the app to come once?
No. The link is the booking. No account, no install, nothing to set up before you arrive.
Is it suitable for everybody?
Not for everybody, and the studio checks with you before your first session. Speak to a professional first, and to us before you book, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have a pacemaker or another electronic implant, if you are recovering from surgery or an injury, or if you have been told to avoid firm pressure.
Can under-18s use it?
No. Sessions are for adults.
What happens to a session I do not use?
Your studio sets that, and it is on your studio's page. Ask before you join.
Can I use it at another Sestala?
Yes. The session is the same in every studio. What varies is the price, because each studio is independently operated and sets its own.
How is this different from a massage gun at home?
A gun is yours, it is cheap, and it is good for a spot you can reach. This is an hour you do not have to run yourself. It works the regions you cannot reach, holds the pressure you chose for the whole of it, and does the same thing next week.
Where can you try one?
Nowhere yet. Where we start has the markets and the cities as they become real, and when one opens its own page opens with it.
What does a session cost?
Your studio sets the price, and it will be on that studio's page. The same everywhere is the shape: one session first, paid once, and it comes off your first month if you go on to a membership. No studio is open yet, so there is no number to show you.
