The present invention relates to a multi-function mattress composed of MagLev suspension, stretched net surface and adjustable underneath elastic cushion modules for optimized body contour-fitting and head-shoulder-neck massage by the motorized roller. This mattress design provides a unique solution to achieve the best body contour-fitting with a simple structure. The MagLev suspension technology helps generate the best support for the entire body during the sleep. It also provides comfort and relaxation that is associated with the sleep-cool technique, which is achieved through the underneath hollow structure. This mattress can be made at efficient cost to perform multi-function. The energy-efficient design also reduces its impact on the environment.

A stretching and exercising device is beneficial for torso flexibility, having a configurable structure in which the curvature of the platform is adjustable. The platform can be varied in curvature from a substantially flat configuration to a generally semi-circular configuration. The platform is supported by a gear train connected to the platform, wherein the platform has a plurality of discrete parts. An adjustment member having a manually adjustable variable length connects opposite ends of the gear train, so that the curvature of the platform is determined by the adjusted length of the adjustment member.

Spinal weighting devices has pairs of adjustable padding on supporting frames for making contacting selected portions of the core or trunk of a patient and includes an extending armature for applying force to urge at least one of the contacting pads to adjust the spine and/or cause the selective strengthening of muscles or muscles groups to correct scoliosis. The opposing padding members are disposed at oblique angles to correct spinal rotation as well as lateral curvature.

The invention relates to medicine, and more particularly to gravitational therapy, and can be used independently or as part of a programme of treatment and rehabilitation for patients with peripheral circulation disorders. The present inversion table consists of a bed with a pivotable frame, and a support element. A treatment and prevention method involves positioning a patient on the inversion table such that they are lying on their right side with their legs bent at the knees and apart at the hips, and inclining the head portion of the table by an angle of up to 30 degrees and returning the table to its initial position by means of oscillating movements performed about the longitudinal and transverse axes with a set frequency. The frequency is set such as to be equal to the average value of the frequencies of the oscillations in the skin microcirculation with a maximum amplitude.

A neck therapy device supports the head of a patient in a supine, side-lying or prone position to eliminate the effects of gravity on the cervical vertebrae and associated musculature. A sliding platform supporting the head permits frictionless turning throughout full cervical motion and a cervical support can target a particular cervical vertebra to isolate motion to superior vertebrae. The cervical support is also used to apply traction and pressure to cervical muscles and vertebrae to effect soft-tissue mobilization and activate and strengthen cervical muscles.

An acupressure tool including a core rod and a pair of long elastic bodies which are attached to the core rod, with the elastic bodies being attached to the core rod by being arranged intersecting an axial direction of the core rod and bent along an outer face of the core rod. The elastic bodies include a first pressure part arranged on an upper face side of the core rod, and a first tapered face is formed on a rear face side of the first pressure part, the first tapered face lying obliquely to a direction of extension of the first pressure part and abutting the outer face of the core rod.

An exercise assist device transitively moves a sacroiliac joint in a lateral decubitus position. The following description is provided in the context of a left lateral decubitus position. The upper right leg is placed on a stand in the lateral decubitus position, and the upper right leg is then extended transitively backward with a sacral area supported by a sacrum support pad. Since a posterior side of a lower left sacroiliac joint is slightly opened, a sacrum slides backward via a right hip joint. This improves mobility of the lower left sacroiliac joint.

The present invention provides devices for neck support and correction, for example, pillows, headrests, or cushions, designed to be placed under the head and neck of a person lying in a supine or side-lying position, Such devices are useful for maintaining or improving cervical and/or thoracic spinal curvature and/or alignment and for reducing pain associated with ailments of the neck or cervical vertebrae. Also provided are methods of improving cervical spinal alignment and for treating or ameliorating ailments of the neck or cervical vertebrae.
