A method causes relaxation of a muscle of a body of a person or an animal. In a period in which a patient moves his or her body in a reciprocating manner to expand and contract the muscle, the patient or another person presses an arbitrary spot on the skin of the patient toward the muscle using a fingertip, for example. The pressing by the fingertip is controlled so that the area of the pressed spot on the skin falls within a range of 2 cm.sup.2 to 0.1 cm.sup.2 and the pressing force applied to the pressed spot falls within a range of 1 kgf to 100 gf.

A hand held chest physiotherapy device comprises a hand grip member with a first end and a second end. The hand grip member is configured to adaptively receive a user hand via a strap member attached to a first end of the hand grip member. The second end of the hand grip member is removably attached to one or more venting members configured to incorporate a pressure difference in the device. The device further comprises a pad member, which is removably attached to an end of the venting members of the hand grip member. The pad member is configured to provide pressure on the patient by slapping the device against the chest or back of the patient.

An infuser tip can be used to assist penetration of cosmetic formulas through the outer layer of human skin. Generally described, the infuser tip includes a concave surface or a similarly structured area that retains formula for application to the skin. The infuser tips described herein generally apply cosmetic formula to the skin with a reciprocating (e.g., tapping) motion. Converter assemblies for generating such reciprocating motion from an oscillating motor are provided. Embodiments of converter assemblies generally include an outer housing, a follower elastically coupled to the outer housing, and a contact point configured to slidingly interface a following surface on the follower. In general, the follower is configured for reciprocating motion and the contact point is configured for oscillating motion, both with respect to the outer housing. In this regard, interaction of the contact point and the following surface causes the follower to reciprocate when the contact point oscillates.

The present invention relates to a cover for a scalp care container capable of applying a liquid and more particularly, to a cover for a scalp care container capable of applying a liquid in which a scalp care liquid is not ordinarily leaked, but a brush of the cover is tapped onto the scalp with appropriate pressure and only upon the massage, the liquid may be applied onto the scalp side. The present invention provides a cap for a scalp care container, in which in a cap (10) for a scalp care container capable of applying a liquid which is coupled to a scalp care container (20), the cap (10) is configured by an upper cap (100) provided with a plurality of brushes (102) protruding forward and a lower cap (110) coupled to the upper cap (100) and fastened to the scalp care container (20).

The infuser tips described herein generally apply cosmetic formula to the skin with a reciprocating (e.g., tapping) motion. Converter assemblies for generating such reciprocating motion from an oscillating motor are provided. Embodiments of converter assemblies generally include an outer housing, a follower having a cam following surface, and a cam rotatably couplable to the outer housing. In general, the follower is configured for reciprocating motion and the cam is configured for oscillating motion, both with respect to the outer housing. In this regard, interaction of the cam and the cam following surface causes the follower to reciprocate when the cam oscillates.

This invention is directed toward a method of neutralizing a past hurtful or anxiety-provoking memory using the practitioner's hands in a variety of steps to apply pressure and movement to the hand and wrist of a patient or upon the practitioner himself or herself, utilizing the method.
