A formed therapeutic tool has a base in a generally heart-shaped configuration with a narrow arcuate front, a wide rear, tapering sides, and a concave bottom. A rearward support is formed of two similarly configured projections. The projections are laterally spaced. Each projection has a linear high point and a semicircular surface. The tool has a forward support formed of two similarly configured inclines. Each incline has an arcuate high point adjacent to one of the projections and an arcuate low point adjacent to the front. A ovoid shaped central recess extends downwardly between the inclines and the projections. The central recess terminates in an ovoid shaped floor with a lower surface constituting a portion of the concave bottom of the base. The tool having a Durometer of from 36 to 45 on a Shore A scale and an Indentation Force Deflection of from 8 to 9.

This device is a mechanical positioning device which positions the head in a way that allows for the relaxation and associated limiting of neural inputs to the left medial sternocleidomastoid muscle. The left-sided medial sternocleidomastoid (to be further referred to as medial SCM) is most commonly positioned in close proximity to the thoracic duct in such a way that muscle spasms of the medial SCM are suspected to play a role in limiting function of the thoracic duct and subsequently some feelings associated the typical symptoms of a “hangover” following the consumption of ethanol. The thoracic duct can be described as the main lymphatic drainage point of the human head. This device is capable of relieving muscle spasm in the medial SCM muscle which augment the function of the thoracic duct in such a way that has a positive effect on those experiencing hangover symptoms. This device is shaped much like a pillow and places the user's head in a unique position which relaxes the medial SCM muscle, augments lymphatic flow from the cranium, which subsequently has an effect of symptom relief during periods of lymphatic cranial congestion, for example when someone has a “hangover.”

Systems and methods for exerting forces on a body, including a support structure defining a space and a plurality of surface contacting units that are configured to exert force upon the body, such that the weight is distributed away from the primary weight bearing regions to non-weight bearing regions of the body, or vice versa, without exerting significant shear or frictional forces on surfaces of the body. The systems and methods may be used to exert forces to cause fluid shift in different compartments of the body. Applications include treatment of various disease conditions including pressure ulcers, heart failure, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, osteoporosis, injuries of spine and to slow microgravity-induced bone and muscle loss. The systems and methods may be used to simulate gravity, weightlessness or buoyancy, in rehabilitation medicine. The system may include a chair, bed, a wearable suit or an exoskeleton.

A therapeutic tool including a body member formed in a frusto-conical shape, the body member having a platform base at a first end and a rounded opposing second end; and a flexion portion disposed on the body member, wherein the flexion portion is configured to allow a pressure application member to deflect, flex, and/or move with respect to the platform base.

A compression garment system and method that may include a head garment portion configured to be donned on a head of a body. The compression garment and method may further include a neck garment portion configured to be donned on a neck of the body. A controller may be configured to control pressure applied by each of one or more head pressure applying regions and/or each of one or more neck pressure applying regions to move lymph at least from the head towards the neck.

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.

A posture training device is provided. The posture training device can include a belt with a body contacting portion having a body contact surface extending between a first edge and a second edge, an adjustable and releasable securing mechanism adapted to secure the posture training device around a midsection of a wearer. The posture training device can also include a vertebrae contact portion having a concave surface extending between a first end and a second end, and the concave surface can have a predetermined depth, such that the concave surface is configured to contact and support at least one vertebrae. A method of utilizing the posture training device to train the posture in a person is also provided.

A combined mobility and stability device including a body member having a platform base formed at a first end and a semi-circular dome shaped pressure application member formed at an opposing second end, the platform base having a diameter between about 2 inches to about 12 inches, the body member having a flexion portion disposed on an outer surface of the body member between the platform base and the pressure application member, wherein the flexion portion includes a relief disposed between the first end and the opposing second end and is configured to allow the pressure application member to bend with respect to a pivot axis centered about the relief.

A device for treatment of erectile dysfunction is disclosed herein. The device has a stretchable ring to retract and maintain the foreskin of the penis a throughout sexual activity, and a stretchable tether coupled to the ring. An anchor end of the tether is mountable at a tailbone of the user, causing the tether to pull on the ring. The device is operative to increase the length of the sliding interface of the penis during sexual activity. The device operative to stimulate the stretch-sensitive nerve endings of the foreskin before and during sexual activity. The device increases stimulation of the sensitive nerve endings of the glans during sexual activity. The device retains blood within the penis upon erection, increasing the ability of the user to maintain an erection for a longer period and to achieve an erection more reliably. The device further increases the appearance of a larger penis.
