A hydrotherapy apparatus, which utilizes the configuration between a sprinkler piping, a reflow piping, a sterilizing piping and a drainage pipe and the operation of a medical motor to control the concentration of a fluid mixture of a medicament and cold water such that each cleaning and sterilizing process does not need to replenish water, saving much time and avoiding waste of water resources. Further, the hydrotherapy apparatus enables the medicament fluid to be maintained at a predetermined concentration to provide a sufficient sterilization effect, and can effectively and completely drain off waste water after the cleaning process, preventing cross-infection between different users.

In a water jet massaging apparatus comprising a tub which is covered by a flexible elastic support sheet or foil for supporting a patient, a nozzle carriage with a nozzle and carriage drive arrangement disposed below the support sheet or foil for directing a water jet onto the support sheet, a rigid or at least non-elastic support element is disposed between the flexible elastic and the nozzle carriage so as to prevent the elastic support sheet to come into contact with the nozzle carriage and the carriage drive arrangement.

In a nozzle carrier drive for water let massaging apparatus comprising a nozzle carriage which is movable along a guide track in the longitudinal direction of a tub of the water massaging apparatus and on which a nozzle for emitting a massaging water jet is disposed, a nozzle carriage drive arrangement is provided for independently moving the massaging water jet in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the tub by drive motors which are arranged outside the tub.

Embodiments include systems, methods, and products for prevention and treatment of orthostatic hypotension, edema, and nocturia. Aspects include a tubular compression sleeve having an adjustable effective radius. Aspects also include a position sensor. Aspects also include an actuator in communication with the position sensor, wherein the actuator is capable of modifying the effective radius of the tubular compression sleeve.

A chair is disclosed for providing water and air adjustable massage. The massage chair includes a surface that is easy to clean, and water-filled rollers within the chair to apply a massaging effect to the body of the user thereon. Each water-filled roller incorporates a foam inner roller that is surrounded by either a cylindrical water-filled wrap or water-filled inserts. The massage chair incorporates a leg section to perform a percussive and vibrating massage on the legs of the user thereon. The massage chair has the ability to recline and to apply heat and/or cooling to the user thereon. The massage chair incorporates auto-sensing controls, massage pattern software, and Cloud Control Software that enables the owner in a commercial environment to establish the time for use, frequency, and price for the massage session.

Provided are showerheads with aeration that include a showerhead body comprising a front showerhead face comprising a plurality of nozzles and a rear showerhead face opposite the front showerhead face, a air/water mixing chamber located in an interior space of the showerhead body, a ventilation disk comprising a plurality of openings positioned between the front showerhead face and the rear showerhead face, and an actuating mechanism on the rear showerhead face. The actuating mechanism is configured to, when actuated, expose the plurality of openings of the ventilation disk to draw air through the plurality of openings and into the air/water mixing chamber to mix the air with water to form aerated water, and the plurality of nozzles in the front showerhead face are configured to receive the aerated water from the air/water mixing chamber and dispense the aerated water.

An electro-hydro massage device enhances the therapeutic benefits of electrical nerve and muscle stimulation by incorporating simultaneous tactile and thermal stimulation from water flow, using a hand-held source of electric current and water flow, in contact with the user's skin. The water flow also reduces the skin's resistance to electrical current and provides warming or cooling to complement and enhance effects of the electrical stimulation. The treatment surface of the hand-held electro-hydro massage device contacts the user's skin and contains two or more electrodes and one or more sources of water flow. The electrically conductive electrodes imbedded in the treatment surface are connected to a battery-powered electrical source with controls to select the source voltage amplitude, voltage frequency, pulse frequency, and other characteristics to achieve the desired physiological effects. The device is connected to a water source with selectable temperature and flow rate, with aeration to facilitate more gentle and uniform water flow over the treatment area.

A bathtub massage nozzle includes a nozzle body, a nozzle body Venturi core, a bushing and a nozzle surface cover. The bathtub massage nozzle reduces the dilution and loss of bubbles in the process of water flow transmission. Therefore, the water flow can form dense bubbles in the nozzle, which are guided by the nozzle surface cover and released along a specific area of the bathtub. The massage water flow released by the nozzle surface cover carries more dense bubbles, which can enhance the strength and effect of massage. The nozzle surface cover and the bushing can be conveniently rotated to adjust the direction of the surface cover. Thus, different surface covers in the same bathtub can be kept in the same direction. In addition, position of the water outlet hole changes during rotation of the nozzle surface cover. Thus, the user can adjust position of the massage water outlet as needed.

Systems and methods for operating a vending machine and/or kiosk. The methods comprise: detecting a presence of a person in a seat of the vending machine; obtaining a full or partial body heat map for the person that was created based on sensor data generated by at least one sensor of the vending machine or at least one sensor located in proximity to the vending machine (the full or partial heat map showing relative temperatures of different parts of a body of the person); selecting at least one vending service parameter for the vending machine using information obtained based on the full or partial body heat map; and causing the vending machine to provide the person with a vending service in accordance with the at least one vending service parameter that was selected.
