Combination Applicator and Adapter for Percussive Massage Device
A combination applicator and adapter (“applicator/adapter”) is removably attachable to a percussive massage device. The applicator has a plurality of fixed applicator heads that can be applied directly against the body of a subject being massaged to provide a first massage effect. A corresponding plurality of removable applicator heads can be positioned over and attached to the fixed applicator heads. The removable applicator heads are applied against the body of the subject being massaged to provide a second massage experience.
PERCUSSIVE MASSAGE DEVICE WITH SELECTABLE STROKE LENGTH
A percussive massage device includes a cylinder extending along a longitudinal axis. A motor shaft that rotates about a central axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A crank coupled to the shaft includes a first pivot offset from the central axis. A pinion gear is coupled to the first pivot. The pinion gear rotates within a ring gear. The pinion gear has a second pivot that rotates about the first pivot. A reciprocation linkage is coupled between the second pivot and a piston that moves longitudinally within the cylinder. An applicator head coupled to a second end of the piston has an end exposed outside the cylinder for application to a person receiving treatment. An actuator selectively rotates the ring gear to cause the applicator head to have a first stroke length and at least a second stroke length.
ADJUSTABLE MOUNTS FOR PHALLIC DEVICES
A mount apparatus for phallic devices comprising a plate, an attachment mechanism, and openings disposed in plate, wherein sliding mounts are disposed in openings, and wherein sliding mounts comprise connection points.
A MASSAGE ATTACHMENT FOR USE WITH AN ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH
A massage accessory for use with an electric toothbrush has a body and a coupling mechanism. The electric toothbrush has a body, and a shaft configured to generate an oscillating movement. The coupling mechanism is configured to couple the massage accessory to the shaft of the electric toothbrush. The body of the accessory has a base at a proximal end of the body, a head at or near a distal end of the body, and a flexible region between the base and the head. The base, the head, and the flexible region are arranged such that the head is configured to move in response to the oscillating movement of the shaft and the base remains relatively stationary compared to the body of the electric toothbrush. A massage accessory for use with an electric toothbrush has a transfer shaft with a driving feature, and a coupling mechanism configured to couple the massage accessory to the shaft of the electric toothbrush. The accessory has a head having a driving feature that is complementary to the driving feature of the transfer shaft. A space is provided between the driving feature of the transfer shaft and the driving feature of the head when the transfer shaft and head are engaged such that oscillating movement of the transfer shaft causes a corresponding oscillating movement of the head and additionally causes vibration of the head.
Percussive therapy device with electrically connected attachment
A percussive therapy system includes a percussive therapy device that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor, and an attachment configured to be operatively connected to a distal end of the push rod assembly of the percussive massage device and to provide at least one therapeutic effect to a user. The attachment may include at least one of an actuator configured to provide the at least one therapeutic effect to the user and a sensor configured to obtain at least one of biometric data of the user and information regarding operation of the percussive therapy device.
Cervical-curvature autocorrect apparatus and methods incorporating the apparatus
An apparatus for manipulating (in one alternative correcting) the cervical curvature of a user, the apparatus having a top, a bottom, a first end, a second end, a first side and a second side, wherein: proximate the top, a thoracic section for receiving the upper back region of a user, preferably for receiving the thoracic region of the user; proximate the top, a cervical section for receiving the cervical curve region of the user; the cervical section is movable with a traction path in at least one of the following planes vertical, horizontal and combinations thereof; in one alternative, the cervical section is movable in an arc-like motion along the vertical plane.
INFANT TRAINING DEVICES AND METHODS FOR THE USE THEREOF
Infant training devices and methods for the use thereof are disclosed herein. A benefit to the devices and methods herein can be the effective training of an infant to develop the suck-swallow-breathe pattern of nutritive and non-nutritive sucking required for feeding from an infant bottle, or for self-soothing with a pacifier. A further benefit to the devices and methods herein can be providing versatile devices for the use of vibration therapy as an infant training aid for feeding from an infant feeding bottle, or as an infant soothing pacifier.
THERAPEUTIC PRESSURE, THERMAL, AND/OR OTHER TREATMENT MODALITY SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Systems and methods described herein include a pressure delivery component that has a pressure applicator configured to selectively apply therapeutic pressure to a treatment portion of a user body, and also includes a thermal delivery component that has a thermal applicator that is a configured to apply thermal treatment to the treatment portion. The thermal applicator may be removably disposable in operative relationship with the pressure delivery component in a use configuration of the treatment delivery component such that the thermal applicator is disposable between the treatment portion and the pressure applicator when the treatment delivery component is disposed on the treatment portion in the use configuration. Moreover, the pressure applicator is operable to apply pressure to the thermal applicator to enhance apposition of the thermal applicator to the treatment portion.
FASCIA TISSUE TREATMENT DEVICE WITH ATTACHMENTS FOR ENHANCED TREATMENTS
A fascia tissue treatment device includes a bar member, at least one tissue treatment element supported by the bar member, and at least one treatment accessory removably connected to the bar member.
EAR-WEARABLE DEVICES AND METHODS FOR ALLERGIC REACTION DETECTION
