System and method for adjustable, seamless face cradle cover providing a barrier between a patient from any unprotected and potentially unsanitary areas of the face cradle while allowing the patient to breathe freely and prevent creases forming on the patient's face.

A face cradle cover for a massage table is a seamless, one-piece cover made from a flat cotton sheet cut to form a panel of material that is bilaterally symmetrical forming two lobes with top, bottom and intermediate portions, the top portions together spanning the head end of the cover and the bottom and intermediate portions being separated by a narrow slit and a medial opening, respectively. A narrow slit extends inward from the heel edge of the panel to the medial opening. A thin elastic strip extends around the external periphery of the panel from one side of the slit to the other side of the slit. A soft stitch or overlock serging extends internally around the medial opening from one end of the elastic strip to the other end of the elastic strip.

The present disclosure provides a fabric overlay for a massage table or headrest. The overlay includes: a first fabric portion having an aperture therethrough, the aperture defined by an inner edge of the first fabric portion, wherein the first portion is configured to extend in a first plane, and a second fabric portion formed into a tube and having first and second ends, wherein the first end of the second portion is joined to the first fabric portion so that the tube extends around the aperture and extends away from the first plane. The fabric of the overlay includes a first layer of fabric bonded to a second, different, layer of fabric, wherein the first layer is a fabric top layer and the second layer is a breathable polymer membrane. In use, the overlay provides a comfortable, washable barrier between the patient's skin and the surface of the massage headrest.

A multi-function, adjustable chiropractic table comprises a body section fixed to a table frame. A cervical section is movably attached to the table frame and securable at a desired angle. The cervical section comprises a padded head support, forehead strap, and neck bolsters. The head support is slidably mounted in a tray and translatable therein using a scissors mechanism, for linear axial traction. Pivotally mounting the tray to the cervical section permits lateral traction. A four-bar linkage, including a base frame, permits raising/lowering of the table using an actuator activated by a foot triggered wave switch comprising proximity sensors. The body section comprises a chest, lumbar, and leg sections. The chest section is replaceable with a treatment nodule comprising hot and cold compresses, or a laser enhanced spinal decompression therapy apparatus comprising a laser driven by two linear actuators to emit light according to one or more treatment protocols.

A myofascial release table includes a plurality of inline rollers used to perform myofascial release. The myofascial release table design allows for use by any size person, with any strength or flexibility level. The rollers in the table and the handles on the table side allow a user to position themselves easily on the rollers. The user has full control and does not have to have excellent flexibility or coordination to be successful. The physical difficulties of performing myofascial release are removed.

A combined treatment, exercise, and traction apparatus including a base coupled to a plurality of linkages, a support frame having a first end and opposing second end and pivotally coupled to the plurality of linkages, the support frame formed to pivot between a first orientation and a different second orientation, a treatment table having a first end and an opposing second end, the treatment table slidably mounted to the support frame, and a plurality of actuators coupled between the base and the plurality of linkages, wherein the treatment table slides between a first position and a second position along a plane of the support frame when a first actuator is activated.

Decompression table embodiments are described that provide body weight support distributed along the body by providing a lumbar support harness as well as separate foot and leg attachment elements, Other embodiments may either alone or in combination with body weight support elements may provide elements for placing the body in a pre-stretched configuration during decompression by curving the body support portion of the table and strategically adding controlled spacing from the cervical and lumbar areas to the table surface.

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.
