A muscle tension reliever or “self-massage tool” may include a body and a handle. The self-massage tool may include an adjustable strap and one or more associated attachment elements. The self-massage tool may include one or more massage heads and/or attachment features. A user or subject may place or secure the adjustable strap to a complementary location of the body to the massage location. The strap may be secured to a fixed attachment point or structure. The handle may be used to move the massage head as pressure is applied via the strap.

Disclosed herein is an artificial intelligence massage apparatus for determining a recommended massage setting including a communication modem, a driver comprising at least one motor, and a processor configured to receive, via the communication modem, identification information from a terminal of a user, identify the user using the received identification information, receive, via the communication modem, activity information of the identified user from the terminal or a health care server, determine a recommended massage setting in consideration of the received activity information and a massage setting log of the identified user, and control the driver based on the determined recommended massage setting.

Disclosed is a structure for therapeutic applications comprising at least one layer with sensor elements and heating elements. A first force affects the layer from one side and a second force affects the layer from the other side. The forces are detectable. The sensor elements can comprise, for example, position sensors, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors.

A back massaging assembly includes a frame that tapers to a pair of points on opposite ends of the frame such that the frame has a diamond shape. A plurality of knobs is each disposed on the frame and each of the knobs is strategically positioned on the frame for massaging pre-determined pressure points when the frame is positioned against a user's back. A pair of handles is each coupled to and extends away from the frame and extends over a respective one of the user's shoulders when the frame is positioned against the user's back. Each of the handles has a downward curve integrated therein such that each of the handles extends downwardly along the user's chest when the frame is positioned on the user's back.

A stretching table that provides targeted stretching for lower extremity, lower back and/or lower abdominal muscle groups in a human patient and is capable of being manipulated in a number of different configurations. The stretching table is capable of providing targeted stretching so that certain muscle groups can be stretched, rehabilitated and/or worked on individually. According to one example, the stretching table includes a base member, an upright member connected to the base member, an upper body support member connected to the upright member, and first and second lower body support members connected to the upper body support member via a connection mechanism.

Disclosed is a massage apparatus. The massage apparatus includes a vibration array including a plurality of vibration devices, a driver configured to vibrate the plurality of vibration devices, and a processor configured to control the driver to generate a stimulus at a stimulus point between the plurality of vibration devices by simultaneously vibrating two or more vibration devices among the plurality of vibration devices.

A massaging tool includes a housing that includes a first shell member and a second shell member. The first shell member defines a first interior cavity, and the second shell member defines a second interior cavity. The housing is configurable in a first orientation where the first shell member is secured to the second shell member and a second orientation where the first shell member is decoupled from the second shell member.

A lumbar retractor according to an embodiment comprises: a first fixing part for fixing the user's lumbar regions; a second fixing part for fixing the user's pelvic regions; and a connection part disposed between the first fixing part and the second fixing part to connect the first fixing part and the second fixing part, wherein the distance between the first fixing part and the second fixing part can be adjusted by changing the length of the connection part, and the first fixing part can press each of a plurality of segments of the user's lumbar regions individually.

A human body stimulation device and a human body stimulation method using the human body stimulation device. A human body stimulation device provides a multimodal massage to a user by performing a mechanical massage operation and a sonic vibration massage operation. The human body stimulation device includes a massage member in contact with a body part of the user, a first massage module which includes a motor operatively connected to the massage member to repeatedly move the massage member according to a massage pattern, a second massage module which includes a sonic vibration module to output sonic vibration corresponding to an audible frequency band and operatively connected to the massage member, and a controller which applies a first control signal for driving the motor to the motor and a second control signal for driving the sonic vibration module to the sonic vibration module.

An assistive device structure for positioning and pressure relief is provided, including a first elastic layer and a second elastic layer, which are attached by using a high-frequency encapsulation process, sealing, bagging, thermoforming, or an integrally molding process. Each of the first and second elastic layers has a bottom surface and an arc surface disposed opposite to each other. The arc surface includes two protrusions and a recess formed there in between. The two protrusions have different heights. A hollow area is disposed in the recess of the first and second elastic layers. Based on such structure, the bottom surfaces of the first and second elastic layers are attached to form the proposed assistive device structure for a user to lean against and providing multiple positioning effects and pressure relief More than four axial directions of supporting forces are generated to effectively enhance muscle relaxation and stress relief.
