Wearable elbow and shoulder non-impingement pillow
A pillow for supporting a user's arm. The pillow includes a body defining a substantially circumferential shape around an aperture. The body includes a substantially flat support base, a first curved arm, and a second curved arm. The substantially flat support base defines a substantially flat geometry extending along a first axis to stably contact a substantially flat surface while a user's arm is inserted through the aperture, the body comprising an open state and a closed state. The first curved arm defines a first contact face with a first fastener. The second curved arm defines a second contact face with a second fastener. The first fastener is releasably fastened to the second fastener.
ARM WARMING DEVICE
An arm warming device including a sleeve. A shoulder cover is connected to a proximal end of the sleeve. A strap is connected to the shoulder cover to secure the arm warming device to the user. A heating element is disposed within the sleeve for applying heat to the arm of the user. The heating element comprises far infrared fiber material. The sleeve includes an interior layer, a central layer, and an outer layer of a substantially waterproof material. The heating element is integrated with the central layer for applying heat to the arm of the user.
Brace with Removable Aromatherapy Pouch
A brace for treating a portion of a human body, the brace including a brace body including at least one fastener adapted for fastening the brace about the portion of the human body, and an aromatherapy heat-treatment pack removably attachable to the brace body, the aromatherapy heat-treatment pack containing at least one temperature maintaining component and at least one aromatherapeutic component, wherein the aromatherapy heat-treatment pack is adapted to maintain a temperature thereof for a predetermined treatment duration.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USING A PORTABLE THERMAL DEVICE TO REDUCE ACCOMMODATION OF NERVE RECEPTORS
A system and method for portably delivering a therapeutic dose of heat to the skin to relieve pain, reduce accommodation of thermal nerve receptors, promote healing, and deliver transcutaneous medications. The heating device is user programmable or pre-programmed to deliver according to a variety of cycles, patterns and algorithms. The cycles, patterns, and algorithms of the heat are programmable parameters, are under the user's control, and increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the device. The heating algorithms are designed to interact with an individual users thermal nerve receptors and other tissue characteristics and to reduce the tendency of the receptors to accommodate to the external stimuli with back pain, muscular pain, dysmenorrhea, headaches, fibromyalgia, post-herpetic neuralgia, nerve injuries and neuropathies, and sprains and strain. The device can also be used in conjunction with existing medical devices such as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulators (TENS) to increase the effectiveness of TENS devices.
