Disclosed is a massage apparatus including a processor configurable to receive a first dataset associated with a physiological parameter of an individual to derive a first emotional indication of the individual; wherein the first emotional indication and the first dataset are configured as inputs to derive a second emotional indication of the individual.

Systems and methods for treating fluid stasis employ an airstream to move static fluid to one or more natural drainage areas for static fluid. A system for treating fluid stasis includes an airstream nozzle and an airflow generator for supplying an airflow to the airstream nozzle. The airflow nozzle is configured to output an airstream configured to be directed onto a patient to induce shear-thinning of static fluid and movement of static fluid toward one or more natural drainage areas for static fluid.

Discloses are an electronic control circuit for alleviating altitude sickness and an oxygen supply device. The electronic control circuit includes an oxygen sensor installed in an oxygen supply channel, a breathing frequency sensor installed to the front of a head of a human body, and a microcontroller coupled to a control button, a flow proportion electromagnet, a bypass electromagnet and an air pump motor. The oxygen sensor and breathing frequency sensor detect analog signal and transmit the signal to the microcontroller after an analog-to-digital conversion, and an ON/OFF signal of the control button is transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller has a flow control end coupled to a flow proportion electromagnet, a bypass control end coupled to a bypass electromagnet, and a pneumatic control end coupled to an air pump motor, and further includes a vibrating element electrically coupled to the microcontroller.

Disclosed herein are vertical traction systems and methods of using the vertical traction systems to treat both bones and muscles in a normal working state. In one embodiment, a vertical traction system includes a frame, a load-bearing assembly, and a spinal traction assembly. The load-bearing assembly is coupled to the frame, and is configured to move vertically and support a subject under treatment in an upright position while the load-bearing assembly moves vertically. The spinal traction assembly is coupled to the frame, and is configured to pull the cervical or lumbar spine of the subject.

An intermetatarsal space vibrator for vibrating the regions of the bottom of an individual's forefoot underlying the intermetatarsal spaces includes a flexible sleeve that fits over the end of the individual's foot. The sleeve's bottom portion has an interior facing side which contacts the transverse arch area of the bottom of the individual's forefoot, and a top portion that contacts the top of the individual's foot opposite the bottom portion of the sleeve. The intermetatarsal space vibrator also includes vibration units, each of which is embedded in the bottom portion of the flexible sleeve in a location that is under a different one of the intermetatarsal spaces. The vibration units produce vibrations that stimulate the intermetatarsal nerve and other tissues disposed within the associated intermetatarsal space. The intermetatarsal space vibrator can also include a heating and cooling element that heats or cools the transverse arch area of the individual's foot.

The present invention relates to a method for setting a massage pattern of a thermotherapy device, and more specifically, to a method for setting a massage pattern, wherein the movement of a moxibustion device is patterned according to diseases so as to allow a bone of the spine associated with a disease to be intensively massaged, and thus if a disease is selected, a moxibustion device is operated by a motor according to the set massage pattern so as to enable an automatic customized massage according to the disease.

A footbath has a base member defining a platform. A flexible continuous side wall extends from a proximal end region connected about a periphery of the base member to a distal end region. The side wall has a collapsed position and an extended position. The platform of the base member and the side wall cooperate to define a bath chamber for retaining water with the bath chamber sized to receive a body part. A retention member is supported by the base member to extend from the base member to the distal end region of the side wall to retain the side wall in the extended position.

A massage device includes a rotatay member rotatably supported on a supporting base with a pivot axle, and a massage member engaged onto the rotatay member and rotated in concert with the massage member relative to the supporting base for engaging with a neck portion of a user and for exercising and massaging the neck portion of the user. The supporting base includes a number of rollers engaged with the rotatay member for rotatably supporting the rotatay member on the supporting base. The supporting base includes a number of sockets for engaging with and for supporting the rollers.
