Spa systems may be used all year round and in colder weather provide an enjoyable experience for users through the cold ambient outdoor temperature and the heated water of the spa. However, failures in respect of the water circulating pump and/or heater of the spa system either mechanically, electrically or through overall power outages mean the water in the spa system and its pipework can easily freeze if ambient conditions are cold enough leading to cracks in the spa system or pipes and hence leaks when the water thaws requiring costly repair or replacement of components or entire systems. Accordingly, a freeze protection system is provided that uses a backup thermal management system discretely or in combination with other backup systems. These freeze protection systems offering backup when mechanical failures, electrical failures etc. arise by providing thermal input to the spa system through alternate thermal paths and providing alarms.

Disclosed is a massage chair with improved stretching performance. The massage chair includes a seating unit (20); a backrest unit (10) with a pair of massage rollers (40) installed to left and right sides thereof; a footrest unit (30) or an ankle holder (33) provided to a front lower portion of the backrest unit (10) to hold both feet; and an upper body stretching unit (50) installed to a rear portion of the backrest unit (10) to lift a hand lever (51) by a driving force, in which when the hand lever (51) is lifted in a state in which a user holds the hand lever (51) by both hands, the whole body is stretched. The lower portion of the backrest unit (10) is optionally provided with a lumbar stretching unit (70) for stretching a waist of the user, and an air conditioner (460) for supplying air to the backrest unit (10), so that the user can get over feeling tired.

Equipment for self-care of patients with chronic pain, through inducing, intensifying and maintaining their own frissons and where multisensory and multimodal stimuli are used to achieve it; musical, visual, aromatic and vibrotactile and cold are applied on the cutaneous surface of the spine. In addition, the method for using them through perceptual learning is presented. The equipment includes a computer and a computer system with a music and video player, lighting, presentation of aromas and a closed hydraulic circuit with a hydraulic actuator.

This invention relates generally to apparatus and methods for tightening tissue of the female genitalia by heating targeted connective tissue with radiant energy, while cooling the mucosal epithelial surface over the target tissue to protect it from the heat. Embodiments include a handle and treatment tip that has both an energy delivery element and a cooling mechanism. The handle may be a two-handed handle allowing control even while rotating and maneuvering the treatment around the genital opening. The apparatus or system may also include an integrated controller, which may confirm tissue contact without applying RF energy, based only on the temperature of the applicator and the time since the last application of energy from the applicator.

The present invention provides a practical method for treating atopic dermatitis. By subjecting patients suffering from atopic dermatitis to filtered temperature controlled laminer air flow disease symptoms have been significantly reduced and even removed. The velocity of the laminar air flow is balanced such that body convections are braked without the generation of draught..

The present invention discloses a thermal transfer massager and a transfer replacement structure thereof. The massager performs a thermal therapy to tendons and includes a spherical main body which is held by a palm for operation. The heat mass stored in the main body is released directionally, and an opening for the access of thermal transfer substance is blocked effectively by a sealing cap with radial thermal expansion effect. At the orientation in which the main body is used, the main body can be replaced at a three-dimensional angular position. In addition, by the symmetry of an outer curve, a provided heat-resistant sheath unit is replaceably covered on two axial ends of the main body to change the flow of heat balance, thereby achieving a multifunctional massaging effect.

Systems and methods described herein include a pressure delivery component that has a pressure applicator configured to selectively apply therapeutic pressure to a treatment portion of a user body, and also includes a thermal delivery component that has a thermal applicator that is a configured to apply thermal treatment to the treatment portion. The thermal applicator may be removably disposable in operative relationship with the pressure delivery component in a use configuration of the treatment delivery component such that the thermal applicator is disposable between the treatment portion and the pressure applicator when the treatment delivery component is disposed on the treatment portion in the use configuration. Moreover, the pressure applicator is operable to apply pressure to the thermal applicator to enhance apposition of the thermal applicator to the treatment portion.

Provided in the present invention is a handpiece (300) for a treatment device with improved stability and hygiene function by being configured so as to freely adjust the angle of a vacuum cap depending on a treatment site and to attach/detach the vacuum cap to/from the handpiece (300). The handpiece (300) capable of attaching/detaching a vacuum cap and adjusting an angle of the vacuum cap comprises: a vacuum cap (310) having an open lower surface and a hollow part formed therein; a body part (410) configured to attach/detach the vacuum cap (310) thereto/therefrom; a vacuum device (350) for providing a reference negative pressure to the vacuum cap so that a target site of the skin can be adhered toward the hollow part of the vacuum cap; a reference negative pressure variable device (360) for varying the reference negative pressure in a pulse form under the condition in which the hollow part of the vacuum cap (310) maintains the negative pressure; RF electrodes (320, 321) configured to be exposed to the inside wall of the vacuum cap (310) so that, when the target site of the skin has been adhered toward the hollow part of the vacuum cap (310), the skin adhered toward the hollow part comes into contact with the inside of the hollow part of the vacuum cap (310); and a control unit (380) for controlling driving of the vacuum device (350), the reference negative pressure variable device (360), and the RF electrodes (320, 321). The driving of the reference negative pressure variable device (360) and the RF electrodes (320, 321) for treating the target site of the skin is controlled so as to select any one of single driving, simultaneous driving, and alternating driving. The attachment/detachment of the vacuum cap (310) to/from the body part (410) is made by simultaneous coupling or simultaneous separation of a vacuum cap connection unit (430) that consists of a vacuum tube coupler (432) configured at an end of the body part (410), power supply connectors (433, 434), and a clip (435).
