A passive spine elongation device has a front portion and a rear portion pivotally connected to the front leg portion. An adjustment device connected to the front portion and the rear portion allows the distance between the front and leg portions to be adjusted, thereby allowing a variable apex angle and adjustable height of the same. The front portion includes a head support, a torso support and a pelvic/hip support. The rear portion includes a leg support. The head support is spaced from the torso support, while the torso support is also spaced from the pelvic/hip support.

A chiropractic adjustment device is disclosed herein. The chiropractic adjustment device includes a support board; a plurality of adjustment blocks slidably coupled to the support board, each of the adjustment blocks having a wedge-shaped body portion; and block positioning means, the block positioning means configured to establish predetermined displacement paths for each of the adjustment blocks so as to assist a user in the proper positioning of the adjustment blocks for a self-administered pelvic adjustment of the user. In one or more embodiments, the block positioning means may comprise a plurality of tracks disposed in the support board. A first one of the tracks is configured to establish a first predetermined displacement path for a first one of the adjustment blocks, and a second one of the tracks is configured to establish a second predetermined displacement path for a second one of the adjustment blocks.

An assistive stretching device worn by a user to reduce physical stress while lifting to aid another individual in stretching and method is disclosed. The device includes a belt sized to fit around the torso of the user, first and second pulleys supported on the belt, first and second wrist attachments; first and second ankle attachments; first and second cords threaded through corresponding pulleys with one end attached to corresponding ankle attachments and the opposite end attached to corresponding wrist attachments. The pulleys operate to change the direction of the lifting force, making it easier to lift and stretch the anterior aspects of the musculature of the individual rather than lifting dead weight. An attachment including a dual pulley system may replace the first and second pulleys and includes an arm supporting a pulley at each end and openings to provide leverage adjustments when attaching the arm to the belt.

A face rest cover designed to cover an opening in a treatment table. The face rest cover has a T-shaped slit that has a line-shaped longitudinal slit segment that opens out on an edge of the face rest cover and a transverse slit segment that runs perpendicular to and connects to the longitudinal slit segment. The face rest cover is treated with fragrances. The face rest cover an be used universally, i.e. it can be used as hygienic protection for all kinds of treatment tables. In particular, the treatment table can be used for massages, wellness treatments or also in the fields of physiotherapy and osteopathy.

A compression device for applying controllable compression to a portion of the anatomy of a user, includes a body, at least one memory wire embedded in the body and configured to contract in length upon application of a current so as to reduce an effective length of the body and apply a compressive force to the portion of the anatomy of the user, and a controller configured to selectively apply current to the memory wires to contract the memory wires and reduce the effective length of the body. The controller includes a circuit board supported by the body and a microcontroller mounted to the circuit board, the microcontroller programmed to actuate the memory wires according to a compression protocol stored in a memory associated with the microcontroller. Each memory wire has a first end fixedly connected to the circuit board and a second end fixed relative to the body.

A moveable grabbing bar rack for use in barefoot massage treatments, the present invention provides a moveable grabbing bar rack for use in barefoot massage treatments utilizing foot pressure. The movable grabbing bar rack is height position adjustable and collapsible for ease to be packed in a portable bag. The grabbing bar rack includes five independent components: first and second substantial triangular shaped bases, a pair of independent upright beams, a substantial rectangular shaped grabbing bar assembly, which includes a pair of parallel round-shaped beams working as a pair of grabbing bars, users only manually engaging the grabbing bars for body balance, and sometimes prostrate upon the upper grabbing bar with their abdomen. This rack is able to be moving forward and backward freely when in the performance of massage, because it is light weighted.

An objective of the present invention is to provide users a face cradle that form-fits to the unique contours of a user's face, as the user suspends their face within the elastic woven components of the face cradle. Accordingly, the present invention provides an apparatus comprising of a structure that holds a webbed elastic face rest. Preferably, the present invention comprises an arch shaped webbing formed over a rigid structure. According to a preferred embodiment, the present invention is shaped similar to that of a vortex or torus that can stretch, and form fit to the user's head/face with no pressure points. Furthermore, the present invention may exist as a standalone structure, or a removable attachment to a previously existing structure for attaching to a treatment table.

A foot-based massage apparatus includes a base member having a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion. A top surface of the base member has a generally rectangular configuration. A first connector member is coupled to the first end portion, and a second connector member is coupled to the second end portion. A flexible member is coupled to the first connector member and the second connector member. When tension is applied to the flexible member, the flexible member supports a massage practitioner providing a foot-based massage. A first gripping member and a second gripping member are coupled to the base member. The first gripping member and the second gripping member restrict movement of the base member relative to a supporting surface.

A device is described for delivering a therapeutic vibration to a body. The device may include at least two motors in a housing with unbalanced masses coupled to their axles, such that vibration of the masses causes the two motors and housing to vibrate at a beat frequency. The motors and housing may be coupled to the body via a platform which places the motors and housings at or near a resonant structure in the body, creating a coupled oscillation between the platform and the body. The vibration may be based on the input signal, such that the system applies the vibration based on the input signal to the user, wherein the signal may be an audio or video signal.
