LIMB TREATMENT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF VASCULAR AND/OR NEUROPATHIC DISORDERS
A medical treatment device and method provide relief from symptoms of peripheral neuropathy and/or vascular dysfunction. The device provides pressure along an inner surface of a human limb of a user, so that at least a portion of the pressure is derived from the weight of the user seated atop the device, and includes a frame for providing support of the device on a floor and one or more curved extensions extending above a center of the frame and downward toward the floor and configured to contact the inner surface of the limb of the user so that weight of the limb supplies at least some of the pressure. The treatment method includes seating a patient atop the device and maintaining the pressure for a treatment interval to provide relief from the symptoms of the peripheral neuropathy and/or vascular dysfunction.
Therapeutic Massager for Managing Swelling and Pain
An apparatus and method for managing pain and swelling in foot using a roller.
Yoga Block Configured For The Neck (Neck Block)
A Yoga block designed to promote cervical lordosis by contouring the block to allowing room for the shoulders and a cut out for the spinous processes at the top of the block.
EXERCISE DEVICE
A exercise roller device including a center roller portion provided with shaped end roller portions, and the center roller portion provided with a centered circumferential groove. A method of making the exercise roller device.
Massage Roller
A massage roller includes a cylindrical tube body having an inner surface; a supporting core attached on the inner surface of the cylindrical tube body to form a cylindrical cavity; and a filing unit disposed inside the cylindrical cavity to improve the strength of the massage roller.
Thermal Massaging Device
Generally disclosed is a massaging device that is capable of applying a thermal or cooling massage to an area or portion of a body, for example, the back, legs, arms, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia.
Enhanced biomechanical stimulation device
A biomechanical stimulation device is presented. The biomechanical stimulation device comprises a base that supports an adjustable height arm and an easily removable drum connected to the arm. The drum is driven by a motor to provide an elliptical stimulation motion. An anti-rotation device prevents rotation, but allows orbital translation of drum. The drum may connect to the arm at a single attachment point. The arm 20 may be pivotally attached to the base and selectively movable to a desired position. A pair of struts may support the arm to assist in positioning the arm. The struts may be locked to prevent movement of the arm, or unlocked by a release button to allow selective positioning of the arm. The biomechanical stimulation device may further include a hand controller and other peripheral devices to provides a convenient interface for controlling the speed and run time of the biomechanical stimulation device.
TRIGGER POINT THERAPY DEVICE
A trigger point therapy device for applying pressure to a localized area of myofascial tissue that is accessed from the exterior of a patient's body. The therapy device includes a base portion has top and bottom surfaces that define a width dimension for the base portion. The therapy device also includes a pressure applicator that is connected to the base portion. The device allows an equivalent amount of pressure to be applied while the patient is lying on a soft surface as compared to lying on a hard surface. This increases the length of time that a patient will can comfortably use the device and promotes usage of the device by the patient. A method includes placing the device on a soft surface and positioning a patient on the soft surface to place the pressure applicator in engagement with the localized area of myofascial tissue.
FOOT SOLE STIMULATION TOOL
A foot sole stimulation tool is provided to press pressure points or support an arch by using protrusions, and the foot sole stimulation tool can place the protrusions in accurate positions. Four or more projections are sealed tightly within a bag body whose bottom side is affixed to a shoe sole, three or more of the projections determine a position of each projection by projections for recessed portion placed on a recessed portion of a foot sole, and projections for convex portion placed on a pressed target part of the foot sole are arranged accurately. The projections for convex portion press the pressure points and support the arch. For example, it can execute pressures to an adductor hallucis muscle precisely and is helpful for preventing hallux valgus.
Foot pillow and method of treating foot pain after resting horizontally
A foot pillow designed to be used by an individual with plantar fasciitis and suffers from severe foot pain when the individual attempts to stand or walk after resting horizontally. The pillow is a square or rectangular structure with a flat bottom and a dome or conical-shaped top surface. The pillow is made of elastic foam sufficient size, thickness and compression rating to support the user's arch when standing on the pillow's center axis. Because the pillow is domed or conical shape, the pillow has less arch support near its perimeter edge. During use, the user stands in place and repeatedly lifts and press both feet into the top surface near the pillow's center axis. Over a few minutes, the user lifts his feet and gradually moves them outward towards the perimeter edge thereby enabling the plantar fascia on each foot to gradually stretch before being fully extended when standing or walking.
