Utilizing Resonant Frequency in Vibration Therapy
Vibration therapy delivered as a low-magnitude; high-frequency stimulus offers a means to deliver relevant mechanical signals safely to patients who cannot exercise to build musculoskeletal strength. Vibrations will begin at the cellular level and metastasize to the muscles and the entire musculoskeletal system. What I am proposing here is instead of using mechanical loading, we can do it more effectively using “Resonant Frequency”; which is the frequency of an external oscillation or vibration that matches an object (or cavity's) natural frequency, as a result either causes it to vibrate or increases its amplitude of oscillation. In mechanical systems, resonance refers to the amplification, reinforcement, or prolongation of sound or other vibrations. Using an external oscillation equipment, we match the natural frequency for the musculoskeletal system which will create vibration throughout that system which will improve bone density, increase strength and increased mobility.
Personal therapy systems and methods employing sensory stimulation
A personal therapy system includes a sensory stimulation pack having a heating device and/or a scent-emitting device, and a holder including a holder body receiving the sensory stimulation pack within a cavity. The holder body has two disc-shaped body pieces releasably attachable to contain the sensory stimulation pack, and vents for outputting heat or scent from the cavity. Surfaces of the holder body have selectively smooth or not smooth textures for varied tactile stimulation of a user.
