A massage chair and a method of operating a massage chair, in which operations are controlled by executing artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and/or machine learning algorithms in a 5G environment connected for Internet-of-Things. The method of operating a massage chair includes obtaining, from a user terminal, first information corresponding to geographic information generated by the user terminal, obtaining, from the user terminal, second information corresponding to motion information generated by the user terminal, obtaining, from the user terminal, third information corresponding to usage information of the user terminal, generating fourth information as additional information using one or more among the first information, the second information, and the third information, and determining an optimal driving mode with respect to a user of user terminal by using the first information to the fourth information.

A massage device comprising a base portion having a first main surface, a plurality of support elements arranged in an array pattern about a first main surface of the base portion and extending through the first main surface thereof, and a massage member supportable by any one of the plurality of support elements, wherein the massage device is configured such that a user can rotate the massage member about an end portion of the massage member supported by the desired support element so as to exert a force on the user's body, thereby effecting a massaging of a portion of the user's body.

Described herein is a device and method for performing ischemic compression therapy to treat myofascial release. A method for performing ischemic compression therapy includes providing a device comprising two or more pressure rollers and an elastic compression band. The device is capable of being placed on a trigger point to form a loop configuration to provide 360° compression to the trigger point for a predetermined amount of time, such as a time sufficient to block blood flow to the trigger point.

In an embodiment, a compression garment can include one or more of a flex frame, a shape memory material, a backing, and a control module. In some variations, the flex frame can include a set of support regions, a set of cutout regions, a set of bridges, one or more terminals, and one or more rotation points. In some variations, the compression garment 100 can further include a fabric sleeve, one or more fasteners, a power module, and/or any other suitable component. The compression garment functions as a compression device (e.g., to improve circulation, enhance muscle recovery, etc.), and can additionally or alternatively function as a passive compression device, a heating and/or cooling device, or perform any other suitable functionality.

A massaging device with linearly adjustable nodes that conform to different bodies and treatment regimens, capable of simultaneously massaging both the neck and upper back of a user. The device requires no effort or force on the part of the user to hold the device in position or to apply pressure.

A massage machine includes a seat unit on which a treatment subject person is configured to sit, a backrest unit configured to support a back of the person sitting on the seat unit, a base that is disposed in front of the backrest unit; and a treatment mechanism that is attached to the base configured to perform a massage on a shoulder of the person in a state where the person sits on the seat unit. The treatment mechanism includes a drive unit which includes an output shaft attached to the base and rotated by supplied power, and a treatment device configured to press the shoulder from above. In accordance with rotation of the output shaft, the treatment device oscillates in an upward/downward direction so as to perform the treatment on the shoulder.

Disclosed is an elastic hollow breathable massaging burden-reducing backpack. Two flexible straps are arranged on the front surface of the backpack in a bilateral symmetry manner, the upper end of each strap is connected to the upper part of the front surface of the backpack through an elastic rope, and the lower end of each strap is fixed by a strap buckle. Each strap is provided with an elastic auxiliary strap, two ends of which are fixed on the corresponding strap. Massage pads are arranged on the inner sides, in contact with human shoulders, of the straps, and a groove, corresponding to the human spine, is formed in the front surface of the backpack.

A headache treatment assembly includes a clamping unit that has a pair of grips each is movably disposed in opposing sides of a clamping recess in the clamping unit. Each of the grips is urgeable toward each other to pinch a trapezius muscle at a strategic location to treat symptoms of a headache. A tube is coupled to and extends away from the clamping unit and the tube curves beneath the user's armpit when the clamping unit is positioned on the user's trapezius muscle. A knob is rotatably disposed on the tube and the knob is in mechanical communication with the clamping unit. The grips are urged toward each other when the knob is rotated in a first direction and the grips are urged away from each other when the knob is rotated in a second direction.

A psychosomatic state adjustment support device includes: a storage section that stores a target psychosomatic state for each destination of a moving body; a specification section that specifies a current psychosomatic state of an occupant of the moving body; an acquisition section that acquires a destination of the moving body; a deciding section that decides a vibration pattern based on the target psychosomatic state according to the destination and the current psychosomatic state; and a control section that applies a vibration stimulation to the occupant by causing a vibration applying section provided in a seat on which the occupant is seated to vibrate based on the vibration pattern.

A chair-type massage machine includes a seat portion, a backrest portion that is reclinable rearward of the seat portion, and a forearm treatment portion that treats each of forearms of a person to be treated. The forearm treatment portion is mounted to each of both left and right side surfaces of the backrest portion.
