An inflatable neck traction device includes a supporting portion and a bearing portion. The height of the top surface of the bearing portion is lower than that of the supporting portion. The supporting portion has a neck support body and two shoulder abutting bodies, and can be provided therein with a first airbag and two second airbags. An inflation device can be connected to the airbags. When a user rests on the device in a supine position, the top surface of the neck support body supports the neck, and the shoulder abutting bodies abut against the shoulders. The inflation device inflates or deflates the airbags to displace the neck support body along a first axis and the shoulder abutting bodies along a second axis to change the force exerted by the neck support body and shoulder abutting bodies on the neck and shoulders to achieve cervical traction effects.

Compression garments and methods may include a head garment configured to be positioned around both sides of a head of a body from a posterior of the head to an anterior of the head (e.g., wherein the head garment may include a plurality of controllable head pressure applying regions positionable proximate at least cheeks and a posterior of the head) and a neck garment (e.g., coupled to the head garment). The compression garments and methods may also include a torso garment. Such garment portions may include one or more controllable pressure applying regions to move lymph from the head downward.

An adjustable inflatable neck support device includes a supporting portion and a bearing portion whose height is smaller than that of the supporting portion. The supporting portion has a center support body and can be provided therein with a first inflatable airbag. Two second inflatable airbags can be provided in the neck support device. An inflation device can be connected to the airbags. When a user rests on the neck support device in a supine position or on the side of the head, the top surface thereof can be adjusted to support the neck. The inflation device inflates or deflates the airbags to displace the top surface of the neck support device to change the force exerted on the neck by the center support body and/or areas of the top surface of the neck support device that correspond in position to the airbags to restore and maintain head/spine alignment.

Described herein are wearable sensory stimulation and monitoring devices that can be worn around the back of the neck along and in contact with the spine. Apparatuses described herein stimulate one or more senses including auditory, tactile or olfactory. Apparatuses are also described that allow for sensing and monitoring of physiologic parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure and movement. The device also has features that allow for easy attachment or integration to articles worn on the head such as augmented reality and virtual reality accessories to provide visual stimulation and entertainment.

Compression garments may include mitts and tightening apparatus to don, or put on, such compression garments. The mitts may be configured to receive a user's hand such that the user can move one or more portions of the garments using the mitts. The tightening apparatus may allow a user to selectively tighten or loosen the garments about the user's body portions. Once donned, the compression garments may apply pressure to one or more regions of the user's body such as, e.g., arm regions, shoulder regions, torso regions, and neck regions.

A gastrointestinal stimulation devices including a random stimulation delivery mechanism(s), configured to provide stimuli to a bodily tissue in a vicinity of the stimulation capsule, the provided random stimuli being characterized by a stimulation parameter, and a control circuitry in communication with said physical stimulation delivery mechanism, and configured to set and alter the stimulation parameter non-systematically, thereby altering the characterization of the stimuli provided to the bodily tissue. The algorithm may be patient tailored, and may have a learning machinery which responds to data being received from the patient.

The massage machine includes a massage unit for treating a treatment target person, a first drive unit for driving the massage unit in a direction facing a treatment site of at least the treatment target person, and a control unit that controls driving of at least the first drive unit. The massage unit is configured to include a treatment unit in an articulated structure with at least two or more joints, and a second drive unit that drives the treatment unit in the direction facing the treatment target site of the treatment target person. The at least the two or more joints are shifted from each other in a direction intersecting a longitudinal direction of the treatment target site.

A neck and shoulder massaging mechanism includes a housing, a neck massaging assembly, a shoulder massaging assembly, an eccentric assembly, a connection assembly, and a rotating shaft. The eccentric assembly is disposed on the rotating shaft. The eccentric assembly is linked to the neck massaging assembly to perform an eccentric oscillating movement. The connection assembly includes a first spherical cavity, a ball connecting rod, and a second spherical cavity. Spherical members at two ends of the ball connecting rod are accommodated within the first spherical cavity and the second spherical cavity, respectively. The neck and shoulder massaging mechanism has characteristics of a simple structure and large eccentric oscillating amplitude.

Described herein are methods of manufacturing multi-use mounting brackets having an extension with an internal support rod configured to support gym accessories. A single multi-use mounting bracket fits gym rigging or gym racks of different sizes and hole configurations. This accomplished by including multiple pairs of holes that are sized and positioned to be compatible with different gym rigging configurations. The multi-use mounting brackets described herein are advantageously designed to resist both downward and upward forces.

Methods and devices are provided for manipulating the glymphatic system to improve cognitive and other cranial or brain functions of a subject. In particular, pressure is alternately applied to the jugular veins on either side of the subject's neck to generate a to and fro movement of cranial fluids.
