Disclosed are systems and methods for adjustment of muscles, tendons and ligaments comprising a main tool and a secondary tool. The main tool comprises a handle and a striking portion. The secondary tool comprises a receiving portion and a target area contact portion. The target area contact portion is placed on a target area of a patient and the striking portion is used to strike to the receiving portion with sufficient force to properly adjust the target area.

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.

A percussive adjusting instrument is provided which includes a percussive instrument head and a traversing arm that couples to the percussive instrument head. The percussive instrument head is movable with respect to the traversing arm. A vertical arm supports the traversing arm. The vertical arm also pivots the traversing arm and the percussive instrument head about an axis. A pivot assembly allows movement of the vertical arm and the percussive instrument head.

The invention relates to medicine, and more particularly to gravity therapy, and can be used in the comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation of patients having neurological, cardiological and therapeutic profiles with circulatory insufficiency. The technical result is achieved in that the patient is placed in a right lateral recumbent position on an inversion table with their legs bent at the knees and the thighs spread at 30-60 degrees. The patient is secured by the pelvis with the aid of a soft securing device. The parameters of a cycle of oscillatory movements to be performed by the inversion table as the head part of the table is lowered or raised, i.e. variable angles of rotation about the longitudinal and transverse axes of the table, the oscillation frequency of the table and the maximum angle of inclination of the head part of the table, are set using an operating console. When in operation, the inversion table performs oscillatory movements changing the direction of rotation of the table about the axis and the angle of inclination of the table, the head part of the table being gradually lowered and returned to its starting position. Use of the claimed invention increases the efficacy of treatment of patient diseases related to circulatory insufficiency while avoiding negative effects on the patient in the form of reflex reactions, raised arterial pressure and the disruption of venous outflow from the vital organs.

A device for administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation to a mammalian animal of the type having a front leg and a snout. The device includes an overlay configured to overlay a side chest area of the animal, the overlay including a front leg opening for the front leg of the animal, and indicium or indicia or both for guiding the administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation; and a muzzle configured for positioning over the snout of the animal.

Disclosed herein is a variable pressure massage apparatus including a position adjustable table upon which an individual lays to receive a massage without the presence of a masseuse or a masseur. Standing above the position adjustable table are a motor housing in which a heating lamp and a motor are located and from which a rotating massage drum is suspended and held above the table. The motor is coupled to a spindle of the rotating massage drum by way of a reduction gear box that is located within the motor housing so that a force generated by the motor causes the massage drum to rotate. The massage drum has a plurality of interchangeable rollers which roll over the body of the individual to administer the massage as the massage drum is rotated by the motor.

The invention relates to a kit (100) for therapeutic treatment of a patient, configurable according to the said patient's therapeutic treatment requirements, which comprises a box (10) joined by an articulated or fixed connection to a support structure (40) and comprising one or more pairs of pulleys (60) over which one or more length-adjustable cords (50) of the box run and a sliding structure (110) connected to a support structure (40) enabling the box (10) to be moved to a position selected for the therapeutic treatment of the said patient, preferably by means of a pair of rails or guides (20), with one or more supports (70) also having been envisaged, provided with means of connection to the cords (50) and which are configured to hold in place one or more parts of the patient's body, raising or placing the said part or parts in certain positions for therapeutic treatment.

A spinal weighting device has pairs of adjustable padding on supporting frames for making contact with 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 muscle groups to correct scoliosis. The opposing padding members are disposed at oblique angles to correct spinal rotation as well as lateral curvature.
