A system for soothing an agitated patient, including a motor, a linkage operationally connected to the motor, an armature operationally connected to the linkage, and a lifelike hand connected to the armature. Energization of the motor enables the lifelike hand to move in a generally circular, rubbing motion.

A body massager includes a portable housing including a backrest and a seat support. A longitudinal guide is provided in the backrest cooperating with a carriage for translation of the carriage within the backrest and a motor drives the carriage along the guide. A pair of massage members are supported by the carriage and extend from the backrest for imparting a rolling massage effect upon the back of the user. A second motor drives the massage members for generating a rotary kneading massage effect or for adjusting a width of the rolling massage effect.

The trigger point massage apparatus includes a primary pegboard from which a trigger point massage member is selectively affixed. A pair of side members attach to opposing sides of the primary pegboard in order to form a device that is adapted to secure against a doorframe. The pair of side members optionally includes at least one locking screw that is used to tighten a pad member in order to secure the device against the doorframe. The trigger point massage member includes a plurality of pins that are selectively engaged into one of a plurality of pinholes provided on an outer surface of the primary pegboard. The trigger point massage member includes a rotatable sphere that is extended from armatures of the trigger point massage member. The rotatable sphere is adapted to be engaged against a body part in order to provide a massage thereto.

A massage unit includes a treatment member; an arm that supports the treatment member; a drive shaft that supports the arm and causes the treatment member to approach and be separated with respect to a treatment target site; a movable portion that causes the treatment member to be operable in a direction of being separated from the treatment target site when the treatment member comes into contact with the treatment target site by a force equal to or greater than predetermined strength; and biasing means for biasing the treatment member in an approaching direction.

It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a massage unit and a massage machine which can increase a protruding amount of a massage ball. A massage unit 700 includes a pair of massage elements 350; a forward-backward axis 722 forming a swinging fulcrum point for moving the pair of massage elements 350 toward a body of a person to be treated; and an up-and-down axis 732 for moving the massage unit, wherein the forward-backward axis 722 is formed in parallel with the up-and-down axis 732 and provided nearer to the side of the body of the person to be treated than the up-and-down axis 732.

Provided is a device useful for facial beauty treatment by efficiently releasing ligaments, SMAS fascia, and the like, and having a compact structure with multiple functions and an ease for a user to use at home.

The present invention provides a device (1) that has a massage function by rolling of a roller (3), a suction function by a suction portion (4), and a stimulation function by outputting a stimulation signal by a conductive element (34) fixed to a bottom surface (23) or a roller (3), and can efficiently and reliably implement an effect such as releasing the ligaments such as a facial skin of a user. In addition, since a circumferential protrusion (61) is formed on the peripheral edge of an opening portion (24) for performing suction so as to surround the opening portion (24), it is possible to enhance confidentiality during suction by the suction portion (4), and the effect described above can be efficiently exhibited. And the device (1) has multiple functions and a compact structure, which is easy for the user to use even at home.

Controlling movement of an end effector coupled to a robotic arm includes receiving an indication of a massage technique to be performed. It further includes determining a surface in a plurality of surfaces of the end effector to interact with a massage recipient when performing the massage technique. It further includes determining an operating space for the end effector in performing the massage technique based at least in part on the determined surface of the end effector. It further includes controlling the movement of the end effector to operate within the determined operating space.

Massage devices and back scratchers have had a long history in our civilization, which have led to the creation of many different deviations of the home use massage stick. One truth behind each and every massage stick design is that there has been an optimal distance between the massage object of the “head” of the massage device and the beginning of the curve of the “head” portion that has never been documented before. This patent can merge and create a massage tool and a cane into a single package. The massage stick can be a single entity or have a detachable shaft for the cane. The advantages of this patent allow manufacturers to design an effective massage stick and create a dual purpose massage stick that can act as a cane for the elderly to move around with, and allow easy access to the massage stick when they are seated.

The rotating soft tissue mobilization device disclosed herein may comprise support mechanism and a compression mechanism connected by a round slide bar to allow for complete relative rotation between the two mechanisms. The advantage of having a round slide bar allows the rotating soft tissue mobilization device to be applied to areas of the body not accessible by devices known in the art. The rotating soft tissue mobilization device may further comprise a plurality of interchangeable pressure applicators and support pads to further increase its functionality.
