MASSAGING DEVICE
Disclosed herein is a massage device configured to provide a squeezing pressure. The massage device may include an elastically extensible and bendable connector element and at least two rolling massage elements. A portion of the elastically extensible and bendable connector element and the at least two rolling massage elements form a massaging zone configured to receive one or more body parts. The body parts may include feet, forearms, and the like. Accordingly, the massage device may provide relief for specific conditions such as plantar fasciitis and carpel tunnel syndrome.
Massage device having a heat reservoir
A massage device is provided with a pouch containing a liquid medium and a massage prong for imparting massage pressure on the person's body during a massage. The pouch is configured for application to the body such that it covers an area on the body substantially larger than the massage prong. The massage prong operates and applies a force to the body through the wall of the pouch. The massage prong is permitted to move within at least a portion of the area without substantial movement of the pouch relative to the body. A lubricating layer sealed present massager can provide a relaxing and therapeutic heated or cooled massage over a large area of the body while reducing pinching and friction between the skin and the massage prong.
Leg therapy apparatus
A leg therapy apparatus is provided which enables the user to easily and comfortable engage the various muscles of the leg, providing the leg muscles with a therapeutic message which helps to loosen and relieve sore or damages muscles. The apparatus may also be used to assist in the removal of cellulite from areas of the leg. The apparatus is basically comprised of a frame structure means, a user engagement means, a coupling means, and an optional resistance means. The frame structure means has at least two main support members coupled together in such a manner that the leg of the user may be placed within, with the main support members surrounding a significant portion of the leg. The main support members are adjustably coupled together by the coupling means such that they may alternatively move away and towards one another, as the various leg muscles of the user are being engaged by the user engagement means. The optional resistance means may be used to provide motion resistance.
Apparatus And Methods For Phototherapy
There is provided a phototherapy apparatus, in which the therapeutic light is delivered through one or more massage components. The massage component provides mechanical massage to the subject biological tissue and modifies the properties of the subject tissue in thickness, density, etc. to facilitate the absorption of the therapeutic light and enhance the effect of the phototherapy procedure. The light source of the phototherapy apparatus is actively cooled by a synthetic jet cooler.
AGILITY LADDER
An agility ladder includes a plurality of rungs, a left link assembly disposed between each rung and including ends pivotally attached to left ends of each rung, a right link assembly disposed between each rung and including ends pivotally attached to right ends of each rung, and first and second links included on each of the left and right link assemblies. The first and second links may be pivotally attached at a link pivot joint, where, through pivotal attachment of the left and right link assemblies with the plurality of rungs and pivotal attachment of the first and second links, the plurality of rungs are moveable from an open position where the plurality of rungs are spaced apart from one another to a collapsed position where the plurality of rungs are aligned adjacent to one another and are not overlapping with one another.
Device for Packaging and/or Applying a Cosmetic Product
Device (10) for packaging and/or applying a cosmetic product, including: an applicator (20) and/or a reservoir of product, a device (30) for treatment of the skin by suction, adapted to be removably fixed to the applicator (20) and/or the reservoir, including a tip to be applied to the skin, communicating with an internal chamber of variable volume, the treatment device (30) having at least one lateral actuation surface (60) on which the user may press to cause elastic deformation of and reduction of the volume of the chamber, the latter tending to resume its initial shape by elasticity.
Leg Muscle Massage Apparatus
A leg massage apparatus is provided which enables the user to easily and comfortable engage the various muscles of the leg, providing the leg muscles with a therapeutic massage which helps to loosen and relieve sore or damages muscles. The apparatus may also be used to assist in the removal of cellulite from areas of the leg. The apparatus is basically comprised of a name structure means, a user engagement means, a coupling means, and an optional resistance means. The frame structure means has at least two main support members coupled together in such a manner that the leg of the user may be placed within, with the main support members surrounding a significant portion of the leg. The main support members are adjustably coupled together by the coupling means such that they may alternatively move away and towards one another, as the various leg muscles of the user are being engaged by the user engagement means. The optional resistance means may be used to provide motion resistance.
APPARATUS FOR PARTIALLY ENCLOSING A ROTATABLE SPHERICAL OBJECT
Apparatuses, such as massage rollers, for partially enclosing a rotatable spherical object are disclosed herein. A massage roller may include a housing formed from a base and cap that, when coupled together, partially enclose a spherical object. The spherical object, such as a stone, of the massage roller may be rubbed on an individual to provide a massage. As the massage roller is rubbed onto the individual, the spherical object may rotate within the housing.
Agility ladder
An agility ladder has a plurality of rungs including first and second rungs. A left link assembly has ends pivotally attached to left ends of the first and second rungs, and a right link assembly has ends pivotally attached to right ends of the first and second rungs. The left and right link assemblies each include first and second links having equal lengths, with the first and second links joined at a link pivot joint which allows the first and second links to form an angle between them of less than 180 degrees.
Apparatus and methods for phototherapy
There is provided a phototherapy apparatus, in which the therapeutic light is delivered through or in proximity to one or more massage components. The massage component provides mechanical massage to the subject biological tissue and modifies the properties of the subject tissue in thickness, density, etc. to facilitate the absorption of the therapeutic light and enhance the effect of the phototherapy procedure.
