A hand-held massaging system includes a swivel coupling for removably attaching a massage tool to a reciprocating motor having a shaft having a stroke axis and a stroke length. The swivel coupling consists of a thrust journal and a cylindrical cup, an inner diameter of the cup providing a swivel bearing and bottom of the cup forming a thrust bearing. When the shaft reciprocates at a forced frequency, the thrust journal is retained within the cup by stick-slip friction that allows the thrust journal to swivel within the cup and to slip along the stroke axis. The thrust journal and cup attach between the massage tool and the shaft.

An apparatus for connecting a massage gun to a massage cane includes a support platform for supporting the massage gun, the support platform comprising a fastening mechanism for fastening the massage gun to the support platform. The apparatus also includes a base for attaching the apparatus to the massage cane. The apparatus further includes a separating structure for connecting the base to the support platform.

A percussive massage device may include a housing having a housing interior. A motor may be positioned in the housing interior and may include a rotatable motor shaft having a motor axis. A battery may be positioned in the housing interior. A switch may be configured to activate the motor. A reciprocating shaft may operatively be connected to the rotatable motor shaft. The reciprocating shaft may include a distal end and is able to reciprocate in response to rotation of the rotatable motor shaft. A vent may extend through a vent opening in the housing to provide ventilation to the housing interior.

A split sliding rod structure applied to a massage head includes a sliding rod support and a sliding cylinder. The sliding rod support abuts against and is connected to an end of the sliding cylinder, and a connecting column is arranged at an end of the sliding rod support. The connecting column is provided with an external thread, and the massage head is provided with an internal thread. The connecting column is in threaded connection with the massage head. The sliding rod support is directly connected to the massage head, and is in stable threaded connection with the internal thread of the massage head through an external thread on the sliding rod support. This split arrangement simplifies machining steps. The plastic support and a thread structure are directly injection-molded, and the sliding rod is implemented by turning a hollow aluminum profile, saving materials and reducing machining costs.

A fascia gun includes a housing, a movement assembly, a massage head and a conduction component. When the massage head is separated from the piston, the trigger and the switch controller are spaced apart from each other, and the switch controller is configured to disconnect the anti-mistouch circuit of the main control board to limit the main control board from controlling the start of the driver. When the massage head is connected to the piston, the trigger is configured to trigger the switch controller to conduct the anti-mistouch circuit of the main control board to release the restriction of the main control board on the driver.

A therapeutic system includes a device and an attachment for the device. The device comprises an electrical power source and a mount. The attachment can be removably coupled to the mount. The therapeutic system also includes a first electrical connector comprising a socket and a second electrical connector comprising prongs configured to fit the socket. The attachment includes either the first or the second electrical connector, and the mount includes the other of the first or the second electrical connector. The electrical connector comprised by the mount is electrically connected to the power source.

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 handheld motorized massage gun is disclosed that combines the percussive action of conventional percussive-type massage guns with muscle stretching and kneading action of rolling element massage devices. The self-powered device is compatible with a plurality of removably coupled attachments which make oscillating contact with a fascia surface. Each of the orbiting attachments orbits along a circular path about a virtual axis while inducing both percussive forces and stretching forces along the axis of the target fascia. Each attachment induces a different affect upon the fascia surface for the purpose of treating cellulite and/or providing muscle rehabilitation. The resulting massage motions and affects are not achievable with the attachments of conventional massage guns having fixed-axis pistons.

Systems and methods for exerting forces on a body, including a support structure defining a space and a plurality of surface contacting units that are configured to exert force upon the body, such that the weight is distributed away from the primary weight bearing regions to non-weight bearing regions of the body, or vice versa, without exerting significant shear or frictional forces on surfaces of the body. The systems and methods may be used to exert forces to cause fluid shift in different compartments of the body. Applications include treatment of various disease conditions including pressure ulcers, heart failure, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, osteoporosis, injuries of spine and to slow microgravity-induced bone and muscle loss. The systems and methods may be used to simulate gravity, weightlessness or buoyancy, in rehabilitation medicine. The system may include a chair, bed, a wearable suit or an exoskeleton.

Foot massaging shoe including a push button into the side of the outsole. The shoe contains a cavity in the sole to allow for an ON/OFF switch, servo motor, rechargeable battery, and motor that together form a closed circuit. The shaft of the motor is attached to a pendulum that includes a main rod connected to three lateral rods. Each of the lateral rods has a massage ball formed at its distal ends. The pendulum rotates about the rotary axis of the shaft in a semicircular fashion from 0 to 180 degrees and back when the push button is pressed, and will stop when the push button is pressed again, such that the three balls move up out of the sole surface to brush up into and laterally across the plantar foot surface of the shoe wearer, and then back down into their respective cavities during the semicircular motion.
