Described herein is a device and method for performing ischemic compression therapy to treat myofascial release. A method for performing ischemic compression therapy includes providing a device comprising two or more pressure rollers and an elastic compression band. The device is capable of being placed on a trigger point to form a loop configuration to provide 360° compression to the trigger point for a predetermined amount of time, such as a time sufficient to block blood flow to the trigger point.

A device (900) includes a leg engaging section (101) and a foot engaging section (102 intersecting at a heel receiver (103). The leg engaging section and the foot engaging section defining a leg insertion aperture (104). A first compression wrap member (301) and a second compression wrap member (302) extend from the leg engaging section. An inflatable bladder (501) can be disposed along the leg engaging section between the leg insertion aperture and a compressible cushion layer (902). The inflatable bladder can be selectively inflatable through a connection tube (502) exiting the inflatable bladder at a non-orthogonal angle (504) relative to an edge (507) of the inflatable bladder. The leg engaging section can define at least one channel (1002) to permit the connection tube to exit the device.

A massaging system including a boot assembly, a sock assembly, a hydrotherapy assembly and a remote assembly is disclosed. The boot assembly includes a boot with a reservoir for water that is filled through a valve and sealed with a valve cap. Within the boot is a cavity to suspend a sock of the sock assembly within. Along the perimeter of the cavity are jet nozzles to spray water from the reservoir to the sock to provide hydrotherapy to a foot of a user received within the sock. Openings are also located about the perimeter of the cavity allowing water to be returned to the reservoir for continued use. The hydrotherapy assembly includes a water pump and a water heater that cooperate with the jet nozzles to control the settings thereof. The user is able to control the jet nozzles with a remote to customize the hydrotherapy received.

In an embodiment, a compression garment can include one or more of a flex frame, a shape memory material, a backing, and a control module. In some variations, the flex frame can include a set of support regions, a set of cutout regions, a set of bridges, one or more terminals, and one or more rotation points. In some variations, the compression garment 100 can further include a fabric sleeve, one or more fasteners, a power module, and/or any other suitable component. The compression garment functions as a compression device (e.g., to improve circulation, enhance muscle recovery, etc.), and can additionally or alternatively function as a passive compression device, a heating and/or cooling device, or perform any other suitable functionality.

A power transmission apparatus includes a driving joint unit having a first driving gear fixed to a first driving shaft and a second driving gear fixed to a second driving shaft, an operating joint unit fixed on an operating shaft and having an operating gear rotating together with the operating shaft, a first operating belt connected to the first driving gear and the operating gear, a second operating belt connected to the second driving gear and the operating gear to apply a torque in opposite directions, a driving link having one end connected to the first driving shaft or the second driving shaft and the other end connected to the operating shaft, and an operating link fixed to the operating shaft.

The foot massage pad of the invention includes a substrate which form a base for the foot massage pad. The substrate can be made of any material that is sufficiently rigid to maintain its shape when used as described below. For example, the substrate might be plastic, wood, metal, stone, rubber, or any other suitable material. In one preferred embodiment, the substrate is composed of neoprene rubber or similar material. The substrate has a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface of the substrate is designed to engage frictionally with the surface below it to restrict movement of the substrate. The substrate may be placed on the floor, for example, and the bottom surface will cause additional friction to maintain the substrate's position when force is applied to it. In some embodiments, the material composing the substrate has a high coefficient of friction, though a texture may be applied to bottom surface to increase friction.

A yoga or exercise stool may have a seat portion and a base portion; the base portion having window slot(s) formed in a front side, a rear side, or both; a handle slot formed at least in one side, such as the front side, at or near the top; horizontal gripping slot(s) formed in the left side, the right side, or both, at or near the top; and vertical gripping slot(s) formed in the left side, the right side, or both, at or near the bottom; advantageously four such slots being formed near the bottom corners of the left and right sides. A yoga stool also may have a base portion, and a seat portion on top of the base portion, wherein the seat portion has an internal firm support member such as a solid slat, and preferably softer material such as foam rubber surrounding the support member, at least on the left and right sides. The yoga stool may include opposed side elements joined by a rear element and front element with a removable top element that may be U-Shaped to allow for additional poses or exercises.

A load bearing assistance apparatus for transferring load from a lower extremity orthotic or prosthetic device to the ground. The load bearing assistance apparatus includes a lateral and a medial spring-loaded members and a linking mechanism for connecting the load bearing assistance apparatus to the lower extremity orthotic or prosthetic device. The linking mechanism also connects the lateral and medial spring-loaded members in a spaced apart configuration so as to position them adjacent the lateral and medial portions, respectively, of the foot of the user of the lower extremity orthotic or prosthetic device and such that a portion of the lateral and medial spring-loaded members enters in contact with the ground during locomotion.

Disclosed is a male penis jelq exercise device of the present invention. A main body part which is furnished with a traction part, having a hollow portion into which the penis is to be inserted, for holding and pulling a side adjacent to the glans, and an elastic traction part which surrounds the penis and extends from the traction part toward the body-side of the penis shaft to come into contact with the body, thereby providing traction force for moving the glans forward; and a traction unit which is furnished with a fastening part coupled to the leg or body, a coupling part hung from the traction part of the main body part and formed as a loop, and an elastic band part connecting the coupling part and the fastening part and providing elastic force for pulling the penis.

A shorts-type pneumatic massage apparatus includes a shorts-pressurizing portion including a left shorts portion, which includes a plurality of air chambers extending in a longitudinal direction of the wearer's legs and which has a right side open from a top of a crotch, and a right shorts portion, which includes a plurality of longitudinal air chambers extending in the longitudinal direction of the wearer's legs and has a left side open from the top of the crotch, wherein the open right side of the left shorts portion and the open left side of the right shorts portion are coupled along an end; and an air injection adjustment portion configured to inject air to or discharge air from each of the longitudinal air chambers to allow the longitudinal air chambers to expand or contract.
