The AJR Tool is used to safely apply pressure to specific areas during massage therapy. The tool's unique shape, combination of rigid and yielding surfaces and lightweight construction distinguish it from any other massage therapy tool.

The foot massage pad of the invention includes a substrate which form a base for the foot massage pad. The substrate can be made of any material that is sufficiently rigid to maintain its shape when used as described below. For example, the substrate might be plastic, wood, metal, stone, rubber, or any other suitable material. In one preferred embodiment, the substrate is composed of neoprene rubber or similar material. The substrate has a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface of the substrate is designed to engage frictionally with the surface below it to restrict movement of the substrate. The substrate may be placed on the floor, for example, and the bottom surface will cause additional friction to maintain the substrate's position when force is applied to it. In some embodiments, the material composing the substrate has a high coefficient of friction, though a texture may be applied to bottom surface to increase friction.

A method of predicting and diagnosing a diseases using an electronic device may include tracking an emotional or physiological change through a galvanic skin response; tracking a vertebral level or a peripheral nerve through spinal column scanning using a sensor unit; and automatically verifying the vertebral level associated with an emotional or physiological phenomenon and identifying a pain area through a combination of the galvanic skin response and spinal column scanning, and may predict and diagnose the disease through the identified pain area.

A massage apparatus providing a pulsed electromagnetic field may comprise: a massage unit which comprises a mount frame provided so as to be movable along the body of a user, and an acupressure module protrudingly provided to the mount frame so as to apply pressure to the body of the user; a pulsed electromagnetic field generator which is provided to the mount frame so as to be independent from the acupressure module, and which generates a pulsed electromagnetic field by means of power applied thereto; and a controller which controls the operation of the acupressure module or the generation of the pulsed electromagnetic field. According to such massage apparatus, a pulsed electromagnetic field may be generated by having the pulsed electromagnetic field generator be provided to the massage unit so as to be separate from the acupressure module or air cells performing a massaging operation. In addition, an effect such as body tissue cell activation or damaged cell healing of the pulsed electromagnetic field may be provided when the massaging operation is being performed. Thus, compared to when only a pulsed electromagnetic field is provided without a massaging operation, or when only a continuous electromagnetic field is provided, fatigue of a user may be alleviated, or a disease or illness treatment or prevention effect may be doubled. In addition, since the pulsed electromagnetic field generator is arranged so as to be independent from the acupres sure module or air cells, the range of effects of the electromagnetic field may be expanded so as to include providing a pulsed electromagnetic field to even nearby sites to which pressure is not applied by the acupressure module or air cells, and since the pulsed electromagnetic field generator may be independently detached or replaced, costs for managing the massage apparatus may be reduced.

A smart muscle massage system includes a blade plate including an exposed blade and an inner beam for discharging microcurrent, a main board electrically connected to the inner beam, a battery electrically connected to the main board, a housing for fixing the inner beam and for mounting the main board and the battery and including a blade cover and a handle cover part, a connector electrically connected to with the exposed blade and exposed via the handle cover part, and a diagnostic module electrically connected to the main board to diagnose state of muscle according to pressure of the muscle and attached to lower end of the handle cover part.

The present invention relates to a novel back massage device. The device is designed to enable users to lay down and relax while getting a massage. The device comprises a multipurpose, battery operated or plug-in massage component that massages a user's back with ease. The massage component comprises several revolving massage heads that rotate along the back area offering a massage and relaxation. The device comprises a support base with an extending vertical pole that supports the massage component. Thus, users can lay down on their stomach while on a bed or sofa and obtain a hands-free, automated massage.

Provided is a massage device which includes: at least one first housing, having a first sucking port and a receiving space communicated with the at least one first sucking port; at least one movable assembly, movably inserted into the receiving space; and at least one driving assembly, connected with the movable assembly and configured to drive the movable assembly to reciprocate in the receiving space to periodically generate a negative pressure and a positive pressure at the first sucking port.

A formed therapeutic tool has a base in a generally heart-shaped configuration with a narrow arcuate front, a wide rear, tapering sides, and a concave bottom. A rearward support is formed of two similarly configured projections. The projections are laterally spaced. Each projection has a linear high point and a semicircular surface. The tool has a forward support formed of two similarly configured inclines. Each incline has an arcuate high point adjacent to one of the projections and an arcuate low point adjacent to the front. A ovoid shaped central recess extends downwardly between the inclines and the projections. The central recess terminates in an ovoid shaped floor with a lower surface constituting a portion of the concave bottom of the base. The tool having a Durometer of from 36 to 45 on a Shore A scale and an Indentation Force Deflection of from 8 to 9.

The wound therapy apparatus may include a wound interface sealingly securable to the skin surface around a wound bed to encloses the wound bed within an enclosed space that is fluid-tight. The wound interface may be sufficiently deformation resistant to distend at least a portion of the wound bed into the enclosed space when pressure p.sub.0 within the enclosed space is less than ambient pressure p.sub.amb. Fluid may be communicated with the enclosed space when the wound interface is sealingly secured to the skin surface in order to vary a pressure p.sub.0 within the enclosed space periodically over the pressure range p.sub.min≤p.sub.0≤p.sub.max. The variation of the pressure p.sub.0 may distend the wound bed into communication with a pad received within the enclosed space and decreases the wound bed contact with the pad. Related methods of use of the wound therapy apparatus are also disclosed.
