Some embodiments are directed to a skin treatment system that contains a laser generating device. A hydrogel patch may include a region, at a first side of the hydrogel patch, to be in contact with a person's skin. The region may contain an adsorbing medium (e.g., carbon black or any other substance that would have a similar effect) that, when receiving a laser beam from the laser generating device, results in Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (“ESWT”) being applied to the person's skin to treat a dermatologic condition such as an epidermal or dermal tissue structure irregularity, cellulite, a stretch mark, a scar, scar-tissue, a hypertrophic scar, an acne scar, etc.

An apparatus for cryotherapy treatment of a user in a reclined position, including a housing structure having a base portion with a user support surface for supporting the user in a reclined position, and a first fluid storage reservoir, a first fluid bag disposed within the user support surface, and a first fluid pump in fluid communication with both the first fluid storage reservoir and the first fluid bag, wherein the first pump is configured to circulate fluid from the first fluid storage reservoir to the first fluid bag.

A massaging footwear, including a main body, including an upper section to cover at least a top portion of the foot, and a sole section disposed on at least a portion of the upper section to receive at least a portion of the foot thereon, a plurality of massaging spheres disposed within at least a portion of the sole section, and a motor disposed within at least a portion of the sole section to move the plurality of massaging spheres in response to movement of the motor.

Disclosed is an elastic hollow breathable massaging burden-reducing backpack. Two flexible straps are arranged on the front surface of the backpack in a bilateral symmetry manner, the upper end of each strap is connected to the upper part of the front surface of the backpack through an elastic rope, and the lower end of each strap is fixed by a strap buckle. Each strap is provided with an elastic auxiliary strap, two ends of which are fixed on the corresponding strap. Massage pads are arranged on the inner sides, in contact with human shoulders, of the straps, and a groove, corresponding to the human spine, is formed in the front surface of the backpack.

Vibration based stimulation or pressure based stimulation are commonly employed in a wide range of devices for medical, therapeutic, and recreational activities. These are designed to be applied against a predetermined region of a user's body. However, there are many instances where it would beneficial to provide the user with a “wearable” device where these one or more predetermined regions of the user's body may be inserted through or disposed within the device providing vibratory and/or pressure based stimulation. Further, such devices may be augmented with other therapeutic means such as light therapy or ultrasonic therapy. Accordingly, a range of wearable devices exploiting hollow shaft motors, electromagnetic actuators, and fluidics are presented.

A system for moving or assisting in movement of a body part of a subject, as well as a rehabilitation system including such a movement assistance system, includes a body part interface configured to be secured to the body part, and a motor-actuated assembly connected to the body part interface to move the body part interface to cause flexion or extension movement of the body part. A force sensing module is configured to measure forces applied between the body part interface and the motor-actuated assembly to ascertain at least one of volitional flexion and volitional extension movement of the body part by the subject, among other functions that may be implemented in movement assistance and rehabilitation systems using the disclosed force sensing module designs.

A face cradle system; the face cradle system includes a face cradle configured to be used in combination with a host massage therapy table. The face cradle includes an adjustable frame includes an open-ended oval shape having a first-arm extension, a second-arm extension, and an oval portion. The oval portion of the adjustable frame includes a padded forehead hammock positioned at a closed end of the oval portion. The padded forehead hammock features a sinus relief nodule which makes contact upon, and applies pressure to, an area directly above a bridge of a nose. The oval portion, the first-arm extension and the second-arm extension are connected at an adjustable pivot point. The face cradle system promotes proper alignment of the spine, relieves and prevents a user's sinus pressure while in a prone position, and overall facilitates a more beneficial massage.

A corporeal compression system for use in applying compression to a patient positioned upon a supporting surface has an overlay, and a gas supply system. The overlay includes flexible sheet material that is arranged into at least two layers to define an internal region therebetween, an inlet orifice that opens into the internal region, and restraints that, in use, locate and restrain edge portions of the flexible sheet material. The layers are repositionable with respect to each other such that the sheet material can assume a deflated state in which the volume of the internal region is a minimum In use of the corporeal compression system, the flexible sheet material of the overlay is draped over the patient, the flexible sheet material is restrained relative to the support surface by the restraints, and the gas supply system is operable to deliver gas to increase the volume of the internal region from the deflated state and establish an elevated pressure within the internal region, thereby compressing the patient between the posterior layer of the overlay and the supporting surface.

The invention relates to an adult choke pleasure enhancement adjustable pressure cuff device. Participants can engage in solo autoerotic asphyxiation (AEA) without accidentally suffocating to death. The adjustable cuff is inflatable and sized to encompass a participant's neck and has a timed safety release function. The participant can apply the device at default setting to fit snugly, but not impede blood flow. The participant can inflate the device to the desired level of pressure that would remain at that setting at participant's discretion. They can control what happens and for how long, as long as the participant is not incapacitated. However, if at any time, the controls/settings are not engaged by the participant, the device would automatically default to zero pressure after a set time. The use of the device therefore allows a participant to safely engage in solo AEA without risking injury or death.

The present disclosure is applicable to the technical field of massage apparatuses, and provides a massage waist pillow. The waist pillow main body includes a sponge waist pillow main body, a massage unit and an air bag; a groove is reserved in an area of the sponge waist pillow main body close to the back of the waist of a user; a support plate is arranged in the groove; the air bag is arranged at a bottom of the groove and is mounted on the support plate; the massage unit is arranged in the groove and above the air bag; and the air bag is located in an interlayer between the massage unit and the support plate.
