Fascia activation and training devices having an adjustable length, collapsible, elongate device body having opposing ends to which open ended interchangeable cuffs are removably mounted. The end cuffs of the training devices provide for inward and/or outward compression forces to be applied by a user's body members engaging such end cuffs, thereby enhancing fascial activation and training, and providing users with proprioceptive feedback, making motor learning in biomechanical retraining through fascia remodeling possible. Methods of use of such training devices provide for the use of multiple types of training devices in combination, resulting in the enhanced training of biomechanical chains of muscles.

The present disclosure relates to an elastic unit with adjustable elasticity and elastic modulus and to an operation method thereof. In particular, the present disclosure relates to an elastic unit with adjustable elasticity and elastic modulus, which comprises: an elastic element having a plurality of division areas longitudinally; and elasticity adjustment modules that are laid out in each of the division areas of the elastic element and activate or inactivate the elastic element partially depending on the division areas to adjust an elasticity and an elastic modulus of the elastic element.

A portable modular stretching apparatus has a basic structure of a base, central rod, pulley, cable system, and two legs jointed at the central rod and alongside the base. Attachments are then added for customized stretching. Attachments provide for hamstring, hips, quadriceps, knees, gastrocnemius, ankle, and metatarsal stretching, limberness, and extension, and hyperflexion. A person adds and removes the attachments based on the desired stretch routine, controls the tension, and removes the attachments, and folds the apparatus when complete.

An electric massage instrument can efficiently and easily control ultrasonic vibration function and infrared irradiation function to be simultaneously applied to a desired part. A single circuit board on which an electronic circuit having an ultrasonic vibration function and an infrared irradiation function is arranged in a gripping part gripped by hand, and irradiation parts of the infrared radiation function are provided on the contact part side of the tip end arranged to extend the circuit board. A housing forming a gripping part and a contact part is a single continuous housing made of synthetic resin, and the single circuit board extending to the tip end is fitted and fixed.

Exemplary arrangements provide leg training devices suitable for high intensity training of hip flexors while simultaneously training the extensors of hip and knee joints. The exemplary leg training devices include foot fixings which are permanent vertically movable components of the device, each of which are configured to releasably engage a foot of a user in operative engagement therewith while limiting the movement of the foot relative to the foot fixings. Each of the foot fixings is operatively connected to a suitable mechanism that provides a resistance force to vertical movement of the foot fixing by the user's leg. In exemplary arrangements the resistance force may be selectively variable with regard to the magnitude and/or point of application so as to provide the desired training regimen.

An instrument for visceral manipulation of tissue comprising a shaft having a first end and a second end and a pressure applicator tip coupled to the first end of the shaft. The pressure application tip has a front surface, a back surface, and an edge. The instrument also includes a handle coupled to the second end of the shaft. The front surface of pressure applicator tip has a curved profile. The front surface and the edge are configured to apply pressure to a skin portion. A method for visceral manipulation of an organ is also disclosed.

A treatment system includes a treatment device adapted to contact a vulvar or vaginal tissue of a body and includes a treatment mechanism configured to apply a treatment to the tissue and at least one sensor configured to provide objective sensor data related to the tissue. An external device is configured to receive subjective information provided by a user or a third party and to receive the objective sensor data from the treatment device. The external device includes a processor configured to use the subjective information and the objective sensor data in a decision matrix to issue commands to at least the treatment mechanism that correspond to treatment instructions based on the subjective information and the objective data. The treatment instructions include instructions related to controlling the treatment mechanism and its application of treatment to the tissue and a treatment duration.

The invention relates to a thermal skin treatment device comprising a skin contact component with a skin contact surface; a thermal energy component in thermal contact with the skin contact component; a temperature control circuit electrically connected to the thermal energy component and comprising a user interface; and an energy source electrically connected to said thermal energy component for energy supply. Said temperature control circuit is adapted to control an amount of energy supplied from said energy source to said thermal energy component such that a first predetermined temperature is maintained at the skin contact surface for a first duration, or a second predetermined temperature is maintained at the skin contact surface for a second duration, wherein said first predetermined temperature is in a range of 40° C.+/−2° C., and wherein said second predetermined temperature is in a range of 19° C.+/−2° C. The temperature control circuit is adapted to maintain for a predetermined duration, during operation, only said first predetermined temperature or said second predetermined temperature at the skin contact surface. The invention further relates to a method for non-therapeutic treatment of a human eye region by means of a thermal skin treatment device according to the invention.

An instrument for assisted soft tissue mobilization including a graspable central core and defines a central axis, a sagittal plane perpendicular to the central axis, a longitudinal plane passing through the central axis and perpendicular to the sagittal plane, a first end spaced from the sagittal plane a second end opposite the first end with respect to the sagittal plane, and at least one arm protruding from one of the ends and defining a contouring configured to perform soft tissue mobilization, wherein the central core includes an ellipsoidal bulb configured to allow an operator to grasp the central core from different angles with respect to the central axis.
