MASSAGE METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT SAME
A massage method includes acting on localized portions of a patient's body using streams of a pressurized fluid medium is characterized in that the streams of the fluid medium are formed as pulsating streams by a contoured surface with continuous channels and act on a chosen localized portion of the patient's body until resonant vibration occurs within the range of audio frequencies that are characteristic for that portion. A device for carrying out a massage according to the claimed method comprises a fluid medium generator connected to massage heads. In the claimed massage method and device for carrying out same, the introduction of novel structural elements and parameters results in a different action on localized portions of the patient, while simplifying adjustment of the parameters of said action and increasing the range of localized portions that can be acted on.
ADJUSTABLE EXERCISE BAR DEVICE FOR SPA AND METHODS OF USE
A system and method for providing an exercise bar for a user to use for rowing or other exercises in the water of the spa or adjacent to the spa. The exercise bar may comprise a central hub, and two sides, each with a first inner tube attached to opposing side of the central hub and a an outer tube in telescoping connection with the inner tube, and a handgrip in connection with the first outer tube. A connector may be mounted to the central hub, the connector to enable the exercise bar to be connected to one or more resistance cables. The exercise bar may be adjustable from a first, shorter length for use with exercises in which a user's hands are positioned closer together and a second, longer length for use with exercises in which a user's hands are positioned father apart.
Oral irrigation device
The oral irrigation/liquid delivery device provides flow controlled fluid to body areas specifically the mouth, or parts of body or other non-body areas via pump device or connection to water source through a wand handle with bulbous smooth head with multiple openings/orifices for the fluid to flow to ensure that no high-pressure jets result (unless within the design) and can be used in confined area; idea for irrigating or rinsing the mouth after jaw surgery or other situation where it is not possible or recommended to use a high-pressure “water pick” type of device; allows user who may have a problem sucking in water to rinse to have fluids safely delivered to mouth to clear and clean it; allows for the delivery of medicated and or other liquid delivery of water or any other liquid to rinse or even imbibe; said device could also deliver feeding fluids; optional connection via any pump or faucet diverter system to delivery fluids, including option to have a siphon mix of one solution along with another with the secondary solution being introduced to the flow as a result of the pump mechanism or a siphon mechanism based upon the flow of a fluid that is the primary solution. Optionally, a rubber or other suitable tube or hose may be connected between the wand and the tip/connecting point to the pump or fluid delivery device. The same device or its components could be incorporated into other devices such as water bottles or syringe ends.
