A device, and the use thereof, for imparting shearing force to superficial and deep fascial layers to improve soft tissue mobility and function. Embodiments of the invention include three general components: a strike head, a force transmitter and a patient interface. A strike force generated at or by the strike head is transmitted by the force transmitter (and normalized/modulated in the case of the force modulator version of the force transmitter) to the patient interface and thence to patient tissue.

A mobile automatic massage apparatus which includes a base of an automatic guided vehicle and a few robotic arms attached above it. A 3D scanner on the pole behind the touch screen monitor takes images of the surrounding environment and guides the movement of the vehicle and positioning of the arms. The hands attached to the robotic arms perform the massage according to the programs of a central computer. This massage apparatus can perform similar professional massage provided by the physicians or therapists to improve the blood circulation of the patients and reduce the pain.

The present disclosure provides a system for treatment of thrombosis. The system includes a garment configured to secure to a portion of a body of the user and a plurality of energy units, coupled to the garment, that provide energy inside the body of the user to prevent or break-up at least one of thrombin or a clot formation and increase vascular flow.

The present disclosure provides a system for delivery of therapeutic energy. The system includes an energy unit configured to convert the acoustic energy signals transmitted to therapeutic ultrasound directed to fragment tumors and carcinogenic tissue in the body. The system also includes an energy unit configured to convert the acoustic energy signal transmitted from the energy unit to ultrasonic energy to image and monitor the treatment site with ultrasound. The system also includes a control unit including a computer for data storage and display.

The handheld machine and method are for the treatment of fascia deficiencies on human beings and animals. The machine has a motor driver and a motor driven to produce a wave cam through a cam transmission operating on a plunger thrusting back and forth in predetermined low frequencies.

A tip force monitoring and annunciation means which permits maintaining proper tip pressure during treatment of self-applied acoustic wave treatment for various parts of the user's body by an untrained user. The several embodiments of the disclosure employ designs, materials, and manufacturing methods which are inexpensive and consistent with current manufacturing practices. The functionality, size, cost, simplicity, ease of use, reliability and robustness of the proposed designs are all advantageous.

A portable battery power operated chiropractic adjusting instrument, manipulator or thruster for applying a selectable adjustment energy impulse to a patient through a plunger having a resilient or cushioned head with the energy impulse applied to the plunger being supplied by a solenoid. The adjusting instrument can have annunciators or indicators for preload, readiness to operate, level of energy impulse and the like. The power source can be an internal rechargeable battery or removable rechargeable battery pack.

A therapeutic device. The therapeutic device includes a first vibration contact configured to be in mechanical communication with a first location of the body of a subject. A first vibrator is connected to the first vibration contact and configured to cause a first vibration at the first vibration contact. A second vibration contact is configured to be in mechanical communication with a second location of the body of the subject. A second vibrator is connected to the second vibration contact and configured to cause a second vibration at the second vibration contact. The second vibration has a different frequency than the first vibration resulting in a low frequency, inferential, traveling wave within the subject that propagates to the subject's head.

Articles (10) that are wearable for muscle therapy are provided. The articles (10) are compression garments and/or have compression sections (12) that can house a trigger object (14). The trigger object (14) rests on a trigger point between the compression section (12) and the individual's targeted muscle. When an individual wears the article (10), the trigger object (14) acts upon the trigger point and provides myofascial tissue release in the targeted area. The trigger objects (14) can be varied with respect to material, consistency, size, temperature and vibration. Methods for using the articles are also provided.
