The massage machine includes a massage unit for treating a treatment target person, a first drive unit for driving the massage unit in a direction facing a treatment site of at least the treatment target person, and a control unit that controls driving of at least the first drive unit. The massage unit is configured to include a treatment unit in an articulated structure with at least two or more joints, and a second drive unit that drives the treatment unit in the direction facing the treatment target site of the treatment target person. The at least the two or more joints are shifted from each other in a direction intersecting a longitudinal direction of the treatment target site.

A security system includes a massage machine, and an external terminal capable of communicating with the massage machine via a communication network. The massage machine includes a massager that performs massage on a user, a controller that controls the massager, a first detector that detects a motion of a human body or an object and produces first detection data, a storage that stores the first detection data, and a telecommunicator that connects the controller to the communication network. The controller includes an abnormality determinator that determines presence or absence of an abnormality relating to the first detection data in the storage, and an abnormality notifier that notifies the telecommunicator of the abnormality when the abnormality determinator determines that an abnormality is present.

A training tool is formed in an integrated loop-like shape, which presents a substantially-wide rectangular frame as a whole in plan view by a pair of first grip parts that are substantially parallel to and opposed to each other and a pair of second grip parts that are substantially parallel to and opposed to each other with a distance narrower than the distance between the first grip parts. The first grip parts are formed in a straight or gently curved shape, while the second grip parts are bent in an arc in front view and are narrowed toward the inner side of the rectangular frame in plan view so that the middle portions thereof approach each other. Furthermore, the training tool is formed with a mixed resin material containing 50-80% of elastomer and 50-20% of polypropylene.

A knee rehabilitation system includes a plurality of compressible resistance members, a knee garment, and a resistance member receptable. Each compressible resistance member in the plurality of compressible resistance members has (i) a same size and a shape as each other compressible resistance member in the plurality of compressible resistance members, and (ii) a compression resistance different from each other compressible resistance member in the plurality of compressible resistance members. The knee garment has a knee garment ventral portion and a knee garment dorsal portion. The resistance member receptacle is coupled to the knee garment dorsal portion, and the resistance member receptacle is sized to carry each compressible resistance member in the plurality of compressible resistance members, one at a time.

The progress of what has previously been considered idiopathic scoliosis it is arrested and corrected by exercises that gradually stretch the spinal cord to catch and keep up with bone growth. An inventive frame enables such exercises by precluding the movement of the spinal column that is a result of the shorter spinal cord.

An apparatus for musculoskeletal stimulation allows a restoring element communicating with the limb support to provide a restoring force to the limb support that is dependent on displacement of the limb support from a neutral positions. The restoring force may be applied by a weight or a spring.

Beverage containing massage devices that may perform multiple physical recovery functions are disclosed. In an aspect, beverage containing massage devices are disclosed that may be used to transport at least one beverage, such as water, as well as manipulate the soft tissue with at least one portion of a user's body in order to produce a massaging effect. By giving the user a beverage to flush toxins from the body and hydrate, as well as self-induced soft tissue manipulation to break up muscle adhesions, reduce tension and soreness, and improve cardiovascular circulation, the beverage containing massage devices of the present disclosure may allow important physical recovery needs for active individuals to be met using a single device.

A foldable massage chair has a foldable chair and a massaging mechanism. The massaging mechanism synchronizes the movement of the first and second massage units and the two moving members by driving the two primary shafts with a single motor, and the two moving members are equipped with the two driving gears with a passive gear engaging with the two belts. Therefore, there is no needs for rail structure, so that the massaging mechanism can be installed with the two belts in the foldable chair which can provide different reclining angles according to the characteristics of the folding chair. Moreover, the folding chair can be folded up, which is easy for storage.

A stretch machine has a seat assembly that is coupled to a seat rail and is adjustable along the seat rail to accommodate people of different sizes. The seat assembly has a knee and a back cushion and can pivot with respect to the seat rail to perform stretching exercises. A person may sit on the back support and extend one or more limbs to the handlebar assembly and then rotate the seat assembly to stretch. A front support extends up to a handlebar assembly that has a front and a back handlebar. A standing stretch board is attached to the front support and can be adjusted along the front support to change the incline angle of the standing stretch board.

The present invention relates to therapeutic body massage devices, and more particularly, to an extendable and retractable massage device which is particularly effective in relieving tender and painful connective tissue and muscular conditions, including but not limited to trigger points. The present invention is directed to an appliance having an adjustable shaft that can access all points on both sides of the body and that allows an individual to place a pressure accessory element of the appliance between the body and a flat surface to apply sustained pressure to a treatment site with minimal effort without taxing other parts of the body and without the pressure accessory element dislodging from the treatment site. The present invention further provides a massage system and a method of self-administering massage therapy on a body or limb.
