A stimulation device is provided in accordance with one embodiment. The stimulation device includes a chamber which has a flexible wall portion. A drive unit of the stimulation device is in physical communication with the flexible wall portion so as to cause deflections of the flexible wall portion in opposing directions, thereby resulting in a changing volume of the chamber. The changing volume of the chamber results in modulated positive and negative pressures with respect to a reference pressure. An opening of the stimulation device is for applying the modulated positive and negative pressures to a body part. The stimulation device includes a control device for controlling the drive unit.

An apparatus for applying traction force to a spine of a user has a chassis with an upper surface. A user lies on the upper surface with the spine extending generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the chassis. Two members extend from the chassis on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis, each member being positioned to engage an armpit. A lever is pivotally attached to the chassis for rotation about a lateral axis, and a pad coupled to the lever contacts a proximal portion of each upper leg when the leg is bent forward at a hip joint. A force applied to the lever is transmitted through the pad to each upper leg and opposed by the members, thereby applying traction force for decompressing the spine. The force may be applied by the arms of the user or by a motor.

The present invention pertains to pneumatic compression articles that implement air-based inflation technology through a built-in network of air bladders. The pressure generated through pneumatic inflation creates adjustable and controlled resistance in addition to the benefits of traditional compression. The network of individual air cells that line the interior of the articles are inflated to create a combination of compression and resistance. This results in vasodilation and more blood flow, thereby promoting an increase in healing stressed or damaged tissue and eliminate soft tissue injury and to help promote the production of collagen production. Features enabling ischemic preconditioning, cryotherapy, and thermotherapy are also implemented. The present invention may also be incorporated into other articles, such as pants and swimsuits.

An appendage of the stimulation device may be used as a handle to allow a user to position the stimulation device over the body part. The stimulation device includes a control device for controlling the drive unit.

Foot care devices include a battery-powered vibration motor disposed inside a water-tight housing, a foot treatment element attached to the upper surface of the housing, and surface immobilizing suction cups attached to the bottom of the housing to inhibit positional movement of the device during use. Foot treatment elements have exfoliating pumice, massaging protuberances, and/or cleaning bristles and vibrate during operation of the motor. Cushioning pads between the upper surface of the housing and the attached foot treatment element reduce rattling noises during operation of the motor. Foot treatment elements also have drain holes extending therethrough and the housing has a drain channel for draining water off the upper surface. The devices can also have one or more stabilizing platform extending therefrom. Foot pressure applied to the platform during operation further reduces positional movement. Foot care kits can have a plurality of interchangeable foot treatment elements.

Disclosed is a hydrotherapy method suitable for diagnosis and treatment of a subject, as well as headgear suitable for use during hydrotherapy diagnosis and treatment.

A back massaging and cleaning device has a main body having a back plate, a first clamping block connected at right angles to a first end of the back plate, and a second clamping block connected at right angles to a second end of the back plate. A connection mechanism connects the back plate to a wall of a shower or bathroom. A back massaging and cleaning rod has a fixed rod and a movable roller wheel provided on the fixed rod, the fixed rod having a first end that extends through a hole of the first clamping block, and a second end that is seated in a groove of the second clamping block. The roller wheel has an irregularly shaped cylindrical body externally made from a back cleaning material and internally made from a massaging material.

A rotatable fixing structure of a water spray device, the water spray device contains: a housing. The housing includes a base, a cap, and a cavity. The base has a support sheet and a fence. The support sheet has an internal face and an external face. The internal face of the support sheet has a circular post and a wear resistant washer. The external face has a notch, and the cap has at least one inlet and at least one outlet. An impeller is accommodated in the cavity and includes multiple vanes and a receiving orifice for accommodating the circular post. A reinforced heat conductor is accommodated in the notch. The reinforced heat conductor includes a first segment and a second segment. The first segment extends into the circular post over the internal face of the base, and the second segment is exposed outside the external face.
