A cervical traction assembly for use with a patient support apparatus includes an adjustment carriage track member including a connecting bracket assembly that releasably connects to a mount support member of the patient support apparatus. The adjustment track member includes a track body including a pair of opposing sidewalls that are spaced-apart from each other to define an elongated channel therebetween. Each sidewall includes a guide track that extends along a length of the respective sidewall. A rope angle adjustment carriage is located within the channel. The rope angle adjustment carriage includes a first track engagement member that is received by one of the guide tracks of one of the sidewalls and a second track engagement member that is received by another of the guide tracks of another of the sidewalls. The first track engagement member has a locked configuration that inhibits movement of the rope angle adjustment carriage.

A massage apparatus, in which a height of an auxiliary portion is adjustable, includes: a body portion configured to support an upper body of a user; and an auxiliary portion connected to the body portion to support a lower body of the user. The auxiliary portion includes a lifting member configured to adjust a height of the auxiliary portion.

A portable far infrared (FIR) radiation device containing a conductive heat producing and FIR radiation generating layer containing germanium, conductive carbon powder, a polyurethane resin, a coagulating agent, and a diluent is disclosed. Materials used for making the FIR radiation device are also disclosed.

A method of administering a massage that comprises providing a foldable massage table having a first half and a second half and assembling the foldable massage table. The first half of the foldable massage table is locked to the second half of the foldable massage table in an assembled position. At least two portions of a flexible member are secured to opposite sides of the foldable massage table. The massage practitioner stands on the foldable massage table and utilizes the flexible member to assist with delivery of force to a patient lying on the foldable massage table. A foot of the massage practitioner is used to massage the patient.

A bench assembly that stretches and develops the quadriceps femoris and/or hip flexors muscle groups of a client with the help of a therapist or trainer. The bench assembly has a basal subassembly with a front member that faces the therapist. Extending rearwardly from the front member is a first side member. A rear member extends laterally from the first side member. Each of the front and rear members have an upwardly oriented column that extends from a bottom rail of the associated member. The columns underlie a client support pad on which the client may lie recumbent and face upwardly with his/her legs positioned towards the front member before a trainer applies a stretching regimen to the legs and/or hips.

A thoracic mobility system, an adjustable thoracic bench system, and methods of use are presented. The present disclosure provides the state of the art with an adjustable thoracic mobility, extension and alignment bench with adjustable footrests for lumbar support. The systems increase mobility and alignment of the thoracic spine region while preventing excessive lordosis of the lumbar spine. The present disclosure provides a comfortable support with integrated thoracic mobility components designed for comfort and support to aid in mobility and alignment in a healthy and effective manner. The present disclosure provides these features and functionality while also providing a safe to use device, which increases spinal mobility, can be used to stretch, can be used to strengthen, and reduce stress of musculoskeletal structures, and the like.

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.

A cover for covering a face cradle on a massage table includes a cover body for attachment to the face cradle and a matter catching means attached to the cover body. The matter catching means includes a bag-like body for sealing a face opening in the face cradle and preventing particles such as droplets and droplet nuclei expelled from a mouth and/or nose of the user from flowing therethrough. The cover is thus used for preventing disease transmission through pathogenic matter expelled from the mouth and/or nose of the user.
