New forms of weighted and cooling sleep masks, and methods for their manufacturing and use, are provided. In some embodiments, a weighted sleep mask includes a plurality of interior chambers, loaded with cooling pieces, in unique arrangements. Such cooling pieces include material(s) with a relatively high density and cooling capacity, including materials with relatively high specific heat, such as stone or recycled glass. The cooling pieces may be at least partially enveloped with an insulating material. The plurality of interior chambers may be positioned in an array to cover, cool and press against and cool particular regions of the face, such as pressure points, and the eyes. A plurality of channels may run between the plurality of chambers, permitting the mask to conform with and exhaust heat and vapor at or about other areas of the face.

An object of the present invention is to provide a heat-generating device with which a warm sensation is persistently perceived, and which can effectively exert a heating effect. In a heat-generating device that is used by being attached to skin, (1) a packaging material constituting a skin attachment surface of a housing is formed of a laminated sheet in which at least a moisture absorption layer that absorbs moisture and a moisture barrier layer that blocks penetration of moisture are laminated in this order from the adhesive layer, (2) an adhesive layer is partially provided on a surface of the moisture absorption layer, and (3) a warming agent that allows an enhanced warm sensation to be perceived in the presence of moisture is contained in at least one of the adhesive layer and the moisture absorption layer. This heat-generating device thereby has improved persistence of a perceived warm sensation, and can exert a markedly high heating effect.

A means for controlling the temperature of a warming material includes an air-permeable film or the like. The warming material includes the temperature control means and a heating composition. The temperature control means for controlling the heating temperature of the warming material includes one or more aliphatic compounds that have a melting point of 35-65° C. and a solubility in water (g/100 mL) at 20° C. of 5 or less.

An inflatable therapy band with pocket comprises a circular band configured to removably be secured about a head. The band comprises four pockets for an ice pack and four inflatable air bladders. The pocket for the ice packets and air bladders alternate about the length of the band. An air pump is provided on the band which is in pneumatic communication with the air bladders.

A compress for treating and preventing radiation dermatitis, comprising a reservoir layer configured to store and release a mixture of skin-cooling ingredients, wherein the compress is cold before applying to skin exposed to radiation therapy or becomes cold after applying to skin exposed to radiation therapy.

An inflatable therapy band with pocket comprises a circular band configured to removably be secured about a head. The band comprises four pockets for an ice pack and four inflatable air bladders. The pocket for the ice packets and air bladders alternate about the length of the band. An air pump is provided on the band which is in pneumatic communication with the air bladders.

An exercise device is provided with a first element disposed at a first side and a second element disposed at a second side. The first element includes gripping features to prevent skidding or sliding of exercise device when first element is abutting a surface. The second element includes sliding features to facilitate sliding of exercise device when second element is abutting the surface. Thus, when an exercise practitioner desires to use the exercise device to prevent movement of a particular body part against the surface, the practitioner places the first element against the surface. Conversely, when the exercise practitioner desires to use the exercise device to facilitate movement of a particular body part against the surface, the practitioner places the second element against the surface. The exercise device further includes an insert which may be removed and heated or cooled to provide heating or cooling pad/pack to a body part.

Methods and systems are presented for configuring oxygen barriers for controlled access to chemical warming agents such as wood fiber, vermiculite, activated charcoal, iron, and salt. In this way a smart phone, syringe, or other cold-sensitive device may be warmed by such agents to restore or maintain functionality in a frigid environment.

A device applies therapeutic treatment to a subject. The therapeutic treatment includes any two modalities applied simultaneously, the modalities selected from compression, heat, vibration, and massage. The device includes a main body; hinges coupled to the main body on each side of the main body; and respective plates connected to the hinges, wherein the respective plates contact opposing surfaces of a body.

A therapeutic travel and spa pillow that can be used during travel for therapeutic purposes. In further detail, the therapeutic travel and spa pillow can be worn when riding in a transport vehicle such as, but not limited to, a train, bus, car, or plane in order to receive therapeutic benefits. The therapeutic travel and spa pillow includes a pillow body, a left strap, and a right strap . The pillow body is a cushioned support for the head and shoulders of the user. The left strap and the right strap allow the user to secure the therapeutic travel and spa pillow underneath his or her chin. This prevents the therapeutic travel and spa pillow from falling of the shoulders of the user. The left strap and the right strap are preferably cord-like strips of material.
