A percussive massage appliance has a general Y-shape, with first and second handle portions being suitable for being held by first and second hands, respectively, of a user, with the percussive massage head reciprocating along an axis that lies in a major arc defined by the two handle portions. One use for the device is so that a user can grip the device with both hands while delivering a percussive massage to his own lower back muscles. The device has a rotation mechanism such that the user can rotate the reciprocation axis through an arc of about 120 degrees relative to the handles, and an extension handle mates with one of the handle portions, providing great versatility to the user.

The present soft tissue mobilization device has a quick-release bar clamp and various attachments for its jaws that exert pressure on soft tissue to improve mobility. The bar clamp allows for applying sustained and incremental pressure at various angles. The shape of the attachment surfaces that contact the soft tissue are either complementary toward each other, when they are intended to squeeze the targeted soft tissue between them, or to the body structure against which they are intended to press. Combining a more helpful means of generating and exerting pressure with the right surface contours significantly improves the overall effectiveness of the device, diminishes any associated pain and discomfort, and reduces the time necessary to achieve results.

A portable therapeutic device includes a portable body having a recessed central region and a raised outer peripheral edge surrounding the recessed central region and directly engaged with the recessed central region, a plurality of massage balls seated at the recessed central region and spaced inside a perimeter of the raised outer peripheral edge, a thermal-conductive element channeled inside the outer peripheral edge and spaced from the recessed central region, and a power source communicatively coupled to the massage balls and the thermal-conductive element.

A soaking chair comprising: a bucket seat comprising a seat back, a seat surface, and two armrests; and a support structure; wherein the chair is suitable for use in a shower; and wherein the seat surface comprises a reservoir and a moveable dam panel.

A percussive massage appliance has a general Y-shape, with first and second handle portions being suitable for being held by first and second hands, respectively, of a user, with the percussive massage head reciprocating along an axis that lies in a major arc defined by the two handle portions. The device has a rotation mechanism such that the user can rotate the reciprocation axis through an arc of about 120 degrees relative to the handles. The massager has a side-mounted brushless motor that drives the reciprocating output shaft through a crank wheel, a crank pin, and a connecting rod, without any gears therebetween. Batteries can be located in each of the two handles, providing a large battery capacity.

A massage tool that provides direct therapeutic pressure to the ventral rami and femoral nerves, and/or the psoas and iliacus muscles is disclosed. The tool includes upward pointing blades that may be properly aligned with the nerves and/or muscles to gently lengthen the nerves and relax the muscles. This in turn may lessen pressure to associated joints and bones thereby providing relief to chronic back and/or leg pain.

A graspable myofascial blade having a concave edge adapted to contact and release equine back, shoulder and hip musculature.

A harness system is described for rehabilitating and retraining a patient, such as that may be experiencing neurological disorders, through controlling a patient's pelvis and/or body. Rehabilitation and retraining exercises may be facilitated for patients carrying out routine daily activities. An illustrative system may include a pelvic harness, a trainer's/therapist's belt, a pelvis support strap, a lumbar thoracic belt, thigh cuffs, a knee-ankle support system, ankle cuffs, and straps. Also provided is a method for rehabilitating and retraining a patient using an improved pelvis control system.

Systems, devices, and methods disclosed herein can generally include passive tactile stimulation (“PTS”) for rehabilitation of neurological conditions, conditions resulting from stroke, conditions resulting from brain damage, tremors resulting from Parkinson's disease, cardiovascular disorder, spatial neglect, sensitivity loss, and/or muscle spasticity. Devices can be worn or applied during daily life and can be effective treatment for aforementioned conditions without a patent engaging in exercises, forced muscle contraction due to electrostimulation or repeated muscle vibration, or even focusing on the stimulation treatment.

The present disclosure provides a flexible suit and a flexible system for rehabilitation training of a human leg. The flexible suit includes a first hip joint motion assembly, a first knee joint motion assembly and a first ankle joint motion assembly, a first end of the first knee joint motion assembly is connected with the first hip joint motion assembly, a second end of the first knee joint motion assembly is connected with the first ankle joint motion assembly, the first hip joint motion assembly, the first knee joint motion assembly, and the first ankle joint motion assembly each includes a flexible mechanism, and at least one of a group consisting of the first hip joint motion assembly, the first knee joint motion assembly, and the first ankle joint motion assembly is configured to operate under gas drive.
