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.

A therapeutic pillow is disclosed. The therapeutic pillow provides support to a user's head, neck, back, and spine when lying down on the pillow. The pillow includes a head support, an elongated spine support, a firm support member for supporting the elongated spine support, and a lower member for manipulating the pillow. When lying down on the pillow the force exerted onto the elongated spine support compresses the elongated spine support. This compression causes an end of the elongated spine support that is connected to the head support to bend, which in turn causes the head support to bend at an angle towards the vertical axis of the pillow. Further, when lying on the pillow the lower member protrudes through a user's legs, which enables users to grasp the lower member with their legs and perform therapeutic exercises with the pillow.

An improved positioning device (the DEVICE) comprises a new and unique concave angulated device for at least one of, but not limited to, stretching, supporting, bracing, rehabilitating, positioning, massaging, kneading, scratching, or exercising a body of a user. The DEVICE's new concave angulated and more user friendly surface addresses the need for a more anatomically responsive body positioning DEVICE for achieving improved results relative to, among other things, the above uses. This DEVICE includes multiple embodiments, which also may comprise various possible configurations, that enable the DEVICE to also function as a fulcrum or lever and/or be capable of uniquely dispersing a load during the interaction between the user and the DEVICE.

Embodiments describe a system for facilitating physical massage therapy of a patient. The system comprises of an X-axis support member and actuator; a Y-axis support member and actuator; and a Z-axis support member and actuator. The Z-axis support member includes a mounting surface at its distal end for the mounting of a therapy device. The X-axis support member is operably coupled to the Z-axis support member, and the Y-axis support member is operably coupled to the X-axis support member. The Z-axis actuator is configured to move the Z-axis support member along the Z-axis; the X-axis actuator is configured to move the Z-axis support member along the X-axis; and the Y-axis actuator is configured to move the X-axis support member along the Y-axis. A graphical user interface is configured to control the operation of the actuators, receive input from a user, display data from a network device, and generate control signals.

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 stretching facility and method for stretching and strengthening muscles provides coach-assisted muscle and tendon therapy to a facility member, including: assisted stretching services in which a coach positions and maintains the limbs of a facility member in a proper stretch position, at a proper tension, and for an appropriate amount of time; assisted muscle strength training in which the coach provides resistance to the muscles for building the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles; assisted balance and coordination training in which the coach stabilizes the leg and core muscles to improve stability and balance; a sauna and spa session for the facility member to relax muscles and exfoliate the skin; a relaxation session where the facility member partakes in soothing activities to reduce tension in the muscles and mind; a chiropractor treatment; and an attire changing portion for the facility member to shower and change training attire.

An elevation device for use in the performance of CPR includes a base, an upper support coupled with the base that elevates an individual's heart, shoulders, and head relative to horizontal, an adjustment mechanism coupled with the upper support that adjusts elevation of the upper support, a chest compression device; and a controller system. The controller primes the circulatory system by causing the chest compression device to perform chest compressions while the individual's heart, shoulders, and head are supported by the upper support at a first elevation position for a period of time. The controller causes the adjustment mechanism to adjust the elevation of the upper support to a second elevation position after the period of time has elapsed while performing chest compressions. The controller causes the chest compression device to perform chest compressions on the individual while the individual's heart, shoulders, and head are at the second elevation position.

An underarm pillow for the relief of human shoulder discomfort is formed from a block of compressible visco-elastic foam shaped to fit under the armpit with a concave upward surface which both supports the weight of the arm and also supplies horizontal forces on the ball of the humerus to locate the ball properly in the socket of the shoulder.

A Treatment Table for Therapeutic Treatment, Physical Rehabilitation and Training and Method of Use for providing optimal anatomical patient positioning and range of motion to support a wide range of activities using a single stable platform. The Treatment Table includes adjustable thigh and calf support members, adjustable back support, and adjustable height for optimal positioning of the patient for the desired treatment or activity.

A face rest cover designed to cover an opening in a treatment table. The face rest cover has a T-shaped slit that has a line-shaped longitudinal slit segment that opens out on an edge of the face rest cover and a transverse slit segment that runs perpendicular to and connects to the longitudinal slit segment. The face rest cover is treated with fragrances. The face rest cover an be used universally, i.e. it can be used as hygienic protection for all kinds of treatment tables. In particular, the treatment table can be used for massages, wellness treatments or also in the fields of physiotherapy and osteopathy.
