Description

The invention relates to a set comprising a mat and at least one treatment module according to the preamble of claim 1, as well as a mat with at least one treatment module for a treatment of the human body or parts thereof, as well as a treatment module.

The musculature of the human body is very complex. Thus, the treatment of muscle tears is very individual depending on the person. In particular, a myofascial treatment can be very costly, since it is usually performed by well-trained personnel. Remedy devices and devices that patients or users can use at home, in the office, or on the road.

A thermal fascia treatment, for example by means of a heat pad, stimulates the circulation and can thus reduce the suffering of the user. The disadvantage of this treatment, however, is that it does not work to the deep fascia. This problem can be solved for example by a fascia roll. However, the use of such a role requires a certain skill, which is not always possessed by older people who require such treatment. Furthermore, due to the width of the roll, there is a risk that even regions, bones or even the spine are affected by the treatment, although this is not desired. On the contrary, a wrong treatment may cause damage to the patient or user. Another possibility is a so-called fascia ball. However, there is a risk of injuring individual nerves, especially the sciatic nerve, as the ball, as well as the role, presupposes certain application knowledge and abilities.

Facilities for treating the muscles are also known from the prior art.

The DE 20 2014 001 424 U1 for example, discloses a pressure point massage mat that consists of a flexible rubber mat, elastic fastening straps and eight specially positioned flexible pressure point balls. The rubber mat consists of 150 arranged in horizontal and vertical directions square or round conical holes or troughs, which are arranged in a grid and which serve the placement of pressure point massage balls.

The pressure point massage balls are fixed by means of elastic bands movable in the holes or troughs insoluble.

The mat is intended to allow the user to perform by laying his body weight on the movably arranged balls independently the massage and to regulate the intensity of the loads.

From the US 5,913,839 is a ball massage board is known, which is made of hard plastic. On the surface of the board a plurality of rubber balls attached, which are provided with a threaded pin. The massage board has holes through which the grub screws can be inserted. From below, a nut is screwed, so that the rubber ball can be fixed to the massage board stationary.

The EP 0 811 365 A2 discloses a device for physical therapy of the human back muscles, comprising a hammock and at least one above a lying surface of the hammock above Pressurkörper z. B. in the form of a sphere, although other shapes may be provided. The hammock is intended for self-treatment and may consist of an elastic plastic. In the hammock cylindrical or hemispherical recesses are provided, which are arranged in a grid. The Pressurkugeln, which may consist of wood, metal or plastic, are used in these recesses. When using small balls additional adapter elements are required when inserting into the recesses. Multiple domed shapes may also be connected together to form a contiguous compact body.

Starting from the EP 0 811 365 A2 The object of the invention is to propose a set and a mat which allows improved adaptation to the musculature of a person and increases the ease of use.

The object of the invention is solved by the independent claims.

In a first aspect, the object is achieved with a treatment set for the treatment of the human body or parts thereof with at least one mat having at least one elastic material and with at least one treatment module. The mat has at least two receiving holes for receiving treatment modules. The treatment module has a pressure element and a base element, which are detachably connected to each other. The base element and / or the pressure element is / are optionally used in one of the receiving holes, wherein the base element and / or the pressure element is adapted for immovable arrangement in the receiving holes to the dimensions of the receiving holes / are.

In another aspect, the invention relates to a mat having at least one applied treatment module of the treatment set.

In a further aspect, the invention relates to a treatment module for a treatment of the human body or parts thereof. The treatment module has a pressure element and a base element, which are detachably connectable to each other.

The pressure element preferably has a head part and a pressure element connection part. The base element preferably has a flat base part and a base element connecting part.

The fixation in the receiving holes is understood to mean a fixed attachment of the treatment modules. The treatment modules are preferably arranged immovably. Preferably, the treatment modules do not move during the treatment. A relative movement between the treatment module and the mat is avoided.

Dimensions of the receiving holes are understood to mean the three-dimensional dimensions for describing the shape and size of the receiving holes. The dimensions of the receiving holes include z. Example, the diameter at round receiving holes, the length of the semi-axes in elliptical receiving holes or the edge lengths at square receiving holes. Preferably, the depth of the receiving holes, which is defined by the thickness of the mat, also counts to the dimensions of the receiving holes.

Adapted to the dimensions means that the dimensions of the base elements, in particular those of the base element connecting parts, and / or the pressure elements, in particular those of the pressure element connecting parts, are selected such that they can be inserted without play into the receiving holes.

Preferably, all the receiving holes of the mat are made identical in shape and size, so that only one type of matching base element connecting parts and / or pressure element connecting parts is required.

There are preferably three embodiments possible. According to a first embodiment, only the base element or the base connection element is adapted to the dimensions of the receiving holes. The pressure element or the pressure element connection part can engage in insertion into the base element or the base element connection part.

According to a second embodiment, only the pressure element or the pressure element connection part is adapted to the dimensions of the receiving holes. In this case, when inserting, the socket member or the socket member connecting member may be engaged with the pressing member or the printing member connecting member.

According to a third embodiment, both the pressure element or the pressure element connection part and the base element or the base element connection part are adapted to the dimensions of the receiving holes. This embodiment is preferable when the socket member and the pressing member or the corresponding socket member and pressing member connecting parts extend, for example, only over part of the depth of the receiving holes.

A user wishing to use the treatment set preferably places the mat on the floor, on another flat surface, or attaches the mat to a vertical surface, such as a wall. The mat in any case has a first side, which preferably contacts the bottom, the flat surface or the wall and thus forms a bearing surface.

The mat has a second side opposite the first side. The second page is the page that constitutes a treatment area for the user.

The treatment modules are optionally inserted into the receiving holes of the mat. For this purpose, a base element is preferably positioned between the planar surface and the support surface, and a pressure element is connected to the base element through one of the reception holes from the treatment surface.

The user then lies down on the mat and thus on the treatment module (s) or leans against it while performing small movements so that the body parts to be treated also make small movements relative to the pressure element. The movements may include, for example, slow back-and-forth (up-and-down), circling, left-and-right movement, replicating an 8-figure, or other patterns. Movements with the arms and / or legs can trigger such movements. The movements may for example comprise an amplitude of a few centimeters, in particular 1-5 cm. Preferably, the movements are designed so that the skin of the patient does not slip over the surface of the treatment modules.

This effect can preferably be supported by a corresponding roughness of the surface of the printing elements.

The advantage of the treatment set is that the user can equip the mat according to the desired treatment with a corresponding number of treatment modules in any receiving holes. In addition, the user can select from among different treatment modules those that are advantageous for the respective treatment. The treatment set thus offers great flexibility.

It is therefore advantageous if the set comprises at least two types of treatment modules. Each type of treatment module serves a different treatment of the human body. A variety can z. B. tip treatment modules and another variety rounded treatment modules. Other varieties may contain large, small or differently shaped modules. The different forms of the treatment modules have different effects on the human body or on the muscles.

In one embodiment, the treatment set is provided with instructions describing which modules should be placed in which receiving holes. This ensures that the user uses the treatment set properly to achieve a desired therapeutic effect.

In a further embodiment, the set has at least two types of printing elements.

Advantageously, the treatment modules are designed in two parts and each have pressure elements and base elements. The user of the treatment set only needs to select the pressure elements and can combine these with the base element. In particular, when the user is on the road, the user can save weight by carrying different pressure elements, but only one or two base elements with it. It is not necessary to take different complete treatment modules if they each consist of a pressure element and a separate base element. In a further embodiment, the treatment set may comprise a plurality of types of treatment modules and / or pressure elements, for example 3, 4, 5, or more varieties.

In a further embodiment, the printing elements differ in their shape and / or their dimensions. For example, the printing elements can be pointed, tall, wide, narrow, flat, large or small. Further, the printing elements may be, for example, round, ellipsoidal, mushroom-shaped, dome-shaped, or mehrhöckrig or amorphous.

Under an amorphous body, a body is understood that is not by simple geometric shapes, such. B. can describe a ball or a cuboid. An amorphous body may, for example, have different radii of curvature and / or angles, no, few or many corners and edges and thus have an arbitrarily complex geometric shape.

Furthermore, the pressure elements may differ in diameter. For example, there are wide, flat and narrow, pointed pressure elements, where "flat" and "pointed" refer to the ratio of height to diameter. For example, a printing element with a Height of 3 cm and a diameter of 6 cm are referred to as "flat" and a pressure element with the same height of 3 cm and a diameter of 2 cm are referred to as "pointed".

The fact that the at least two types of printing elements differ in their shape and / or their dimensions, the different printing elements of the different varieties can cause different therapeutic effects in the user of the treatment set. For example, a higher (and "sharper") pressure element can have a greater depth effect on the musculature of the user. A flat pressure element, however, is more suitable for the treatment of larger body areas.

Furthermore, for example, different pressure elements, in particular more complex or amorphous pressure elements for certain muscle groups may be provided. This includes, for example, the calf muscles, the thigh muscles and / or the shoulder muscles.

In a further embodiment, the types of printing elements are distinguishable from each other by their height and / or their diameter and / or their shape and optionally used together with the base elements in the desired receiving holes.

In a further embodiment, the set comprises n base elements and m pressure elements, where m ≥ n. For example, n = 2 and m = 3 or more.

Advantageously, the base elements and the pressure elements can be connected to one another by a uniform connection mechanism. As a result, the different pressure elements together with each of the base elements can form a treatment module. The printing elements are interchangeable, so that always the number of treatment modules is available to the user, which corresponds to the number of n base elements. In particular, when traveling, a user does not have to carry any number of base elements with him in order to fully exploit the treatment set. The user can resort to a variety of printing elements.

In a further embodiment, the set comprises at least one double-base element which can be inserted into two receiving holes.

In a further embodiment, the treatment set comprises at least one double-pressure element which can be inserted into two receiving holes, in particular into two adjacent receiving holes. In the double-base element, for example, such a double-pressure element or two individual printing elements can be used.

A double-pressure element is an element which is formed larger than a single pressure element. In particular, it may be formed as a kind of bridge element that can be combined with two individual base elements or a double base element.

Advantageously, dual pressure elements can be used to treat longer muscle groups, such as the muscles in the legs or back. In principle, the treatment would also be possible with two individual printing elements, wherein the printing elements interact with two individual base elements, but a double pressure element, in particular together with a double base element, offers more stability in the treatment. Double-base elements can not slip apart, since they are formed as a one-piece component. It is also possible to use a double pressure element with two individual base elements, the stability being provided by the continuous double pressure element. On the other hand, a double-base element with two individual pressure elements can be used, the stability being provided by the double-base element. The double-printing element also has the advantage that it can have more complex shapes than individual printing elements.

The following explanations regarding the printing elements and base elements also apply to the double-pressure elements and the double-base elements.

In a further embodiment, the treatment set comprises at least two mats of different sizes. For example, one of the at least two mats may be configured so that a full-grown human can lie down without the body touching the ground. The length of such a large mat is preferably 180 to 220 cm and the width 60 to 100 cm.

A second smaller of the at least two mats may include, but is not limited to, 50 x 50 cm, 50 x 60 cm, 40 x 60 cm, 40 x 70 cm, and so forth. Preferably, the dimensions of the small mat are half the size of the large mat.

Due to the different sizes, the set can be used both at home, where the user usually has more space available, or when traveling. Depending on where the user wants to use the treatment set, he can use one of the mats. For example, the small mat may advantageously be designed such that it can be carried in the hand luggage. Especially at Business people who want to use the treatment kit while traveling may find this an advantage.

In a further embodiment, the elastic material of the mat is made of a rubber, plastic, latex, foam, an oleophobic material or a combination of these materials.

Oleophobic material has the advantage that oils applied to the mat to affect the treatment can not enter the mat. For example, the oils may affect the friction between the treatment module and / or the mat and the user, or may aid treatment.

In a further embodiment, the mat is provided with an oleophobic and / or elastic layer.

Advantageously, an oleophobic coating, for example as a coating of a foam mat, can produce the same effects as a mat of an oleophobic material. However, by reducing the amount of oleophobic material, the cost of production can be reduced.

In one embodiment, the receiving holes are arranged in a grid. A pitch is understood to be the distance between adjacent grid lines on which the receiving holes lie and the spacing of the receiving holes on the grid lines. The spacing of the grid lines and the spacing of the receiving holes on the grid lines are preferably the same size.

Arranging the receiving holes in a pitch advantageously provides that double pressure elements and / or double base elements may also be matched to the pitch and received by any two adjacent receiving holes without consideration of the spacings of the base member connecting members or the pressure member connecting members.

In a further embodiment, the centers of the receiving holes at a distance of 8 to 12 cm to each other. Such a distance has the advantage that the treatment modules have a size that allow effective treatment of the muscles with sufficient stability of the treatment modules. Too large a gap with relatively small treatment modules would not be expedient because the modules then can not cover a correspondingly small area of the body. For example, a small area of the body could be the shoulder area. For example, if a user wanted to treat the left shoulder with the treatment set, a hole spacing of 20 cm would be too large. On the other hand, too small a distance of, for example, 2 cm would also be disadvantageous because the diameters of the receiving holes would have to be chosen so that the receiving holes do not adjoin or even overlap. Accordingly, the treatment modules would have to be chosen small, whereby they would lose stability. A range of 8 to 12 cm for the distance of the centers of the receiving holes and thus for the grid has proven to be practical and advantageous.

In one embodiment, receiving holes are arranged in at least two rows that extend symmetrically about a center axis of the mat. The central axis of the mat is preferably the longitudinal axis, in particular in the case of rectangular mats.

Advantageously, this arrangement ensures that the middle region of the mat, namely exactly the region around the central axis, remains free of receiving holes. This area is usually the area where the spine rests. Since no treatment modules can be arranged on the longitudinal axis of the mat, the risk of injury to the spine during treatment is minimized. Furthermore, muscle groups that cause many users to complaints, namely the back muscles, the side of the spine extend. By locating the receiving holes in at least two rows about the central axis (respectively around the user's spine), the treatment modules can be positioned just below the user's back muscles to enhance the treatment of the back muscles.

Preferably, an even number of rows is provided. The number of pick-up holes per row may vary.

In one example, the mat may include four rows of receiving holes. Two of the four rows are each positioned on each side of the center axis of the mat. For example, the outer rows may each have two receiving holes, and the inner rows may each have eight receiving holes, for example.

Advantageously, by the number of receiving holes in the outer rows, a shoulder region may be defined which has fewer receiving holes than the inner rows. The user can instantly recognize the area for the shoulders when using the treatment set, thereby reducing the risk of injury from misuse of the treatment set.

In a further embodiment, the central axis runs parallel to the long edge, wherein a planar region around the central axis is formed hole-free.

The hole-free area around the central axis advantageously has the effect that the risk of injury to the spine can be minimized when using the treatment set.

In a further embodiment, the base elements each have a plate-shaped base part. The base part is preferably round or square. The base part of a double-base element is preferably rectangular. The plate-shaped base part can prevent the treatment module from falling over during the treatment. Furthermore, the base part is not noticed by its flat plate-like design during treatment by the user.

The dimensions of the base parts, such as. Diameter or edge length, preferably correspond to the pitch so that the base portions of the base members contact and support each other when the base members are positioned in adjacent receiving holes. Slipping of the base elements is thereby largely prevented.

The pressure element preferably has a head part with a bottom side and the base part has an upper side.

The mat is preferably arranged between the head part and the base part. The head part and the base part surround the mat in the area of the receiving opening, which improves the stability of the treatment module and the fixation of the treatment module.

For the distance AS between the bottom of the head and the top of the base preferably applies AS ≥ MD , in which MD denotes the mat thickness.

The advantage is that the mat is arranged stress-free between the head part and the base part and the mat is not crushed and thus not damaged.

In another embodiment, the mat comprises a plurality of mat segments.

In one embodiment, the mat segments are of different sizes, wherein some of the mat segments may have a first size and at the same time, others of the mat segments may have a second size.

In another embodiment, the mat segments are all the same size.

The uniform size of the mat segments has the advantage that the mat consists of uniform segments and thus the production costs for the mat can be reduced. In addition, the mat segments can be placed on each other so that they take up little space and can be easily transported and / or stored.

In a further embodiment, the mats are connected to one another via at least one predetermined bending point.

Preceding points have the advantage that the mat can be folded in a particularly simple manner. The individual mat segments can be folded over the predetermined bending points, whereby the mat can take a handy volume for transport and storage.

In a further embodiment, the mat segments each have a tab, wherein the tab forms the predetermined bending point. The mat segments are preferably sewn together via the tabs.

The use of tabs on the mat segments has the advantage that the mats can be folded easier. When folding together can thus create less stress on the mat segments at the kinks. In a tearing of the seams or damage to the predetermined buckling point, the tab can be replaced instead of the entire mat segment in a simple manner. Further, the material for the tabs does not necessarily have to be the same material as used for the mats, thereby also resulting in savings in manufacturing.

In a further embodiment, the mat segments are detachably connected to each other.

This embodiment has the advantage that the mat can be disassembled or taken apart. On the one hand, this has the advantage that the mat can be transported and / or stored more easily, since the mat segments can also be stacked on one another, in particular given a uniform size. In addition, individual mat segments can be taken with ease on travel.

In a further embodiment, the mat segments are connected to one another in a form-fitting manner or by means of a zipper and / or by means of a hook-and-loop fastener. A positive connection of the mat segments can be provided for example by so-called puzzle mats his. In this case, the mat segments have differently shaped recesses and matching tongues, so that the tongues of a first mat segment fit into the recesses of a second mat segment.

For example, a zipper may be attached to the underside of the mat, so that the zipper will not interfere with the treatment or use of the treatment set.

Advantageously, the components of a hook and loop fastener are positioned at the edges of the mat segments, so that the mat segments can be connected to each other by simply abutting one another.

In a further embodiment, the mat has fastening means with which the mat can be suspended, for example, on a vertical surface. Attachment means may include, for example, hooks, eyes or recesses for receiving nails, screws and / or hooks.

In a further embodiment, the mat has at least one marking in the region of the receiving holes. In particular, each of the receiving holes is marked by a marker.

In a further embodiment, the at least one marking is associated with at least one of the receiving holes.

A marking of the receiving holes effected in an advantageous manner that in particular by a supplied instructions or a corresponding description by appropriately trained personnel, especially a doctor, a health practitioner, or the like, the treatment can be improved. For example, in the instructions, configurations may be enumerated where and how the treatment modules are positioned in the receiving holes, with a mark associated with each receiving hole, so that the user can position the treatment module (s) on the respective receiving holes. For example, guidance may be that to treat muscle discomfort in the shoulder area, the treatment modules are positioned in receiving holes that are associated with the shoulder area by the markers. In another example, a particular muscle group in the back may be associated with receiving holes in the middle region of the mat so that the markings of those holes are designated by the instructions when the user wishes to treat the corresponding area in the back.

In a further embodiment, the mat has an upper side that forms the treatment surface, wherein on the upper side of the mat is marked at least one zone that is associated with at least one body part of the human body. For example, an area may be marked in the zone for the head, legs, shoulders, or other body parts.

The marking of body parts of the human body on the treatment surface of the mat advantageously causes the use of the mat to be simplified since the user can lay down on the mat according to the markings or the zones defined by the markings. For example, if a zone is marked for the head on the mat, this zone represents the head area there. A user who wants to lay down on the mat knows immediately how he has to lie down on the mat. This can reduce the risk of incorrect positioning of the user on the mat.

The treatment module for a treatment of the human body or parts thereof is characterized in that the treatment module comprises a pressure element and a base element, which are releasably connectable to each other. Preferably, the pressure element has a pressure element connection part and the base element has a base element connection part.

Preferably, the pressure element comprises a head part and a pressure element connection part.

The base element preferably has a flat base part and a base element connection part.

In one embodiment, the pressure element connection part and the base element connection part are releasably connectable to each other.

The releasable connection causes in an advantageous manner that the pressure element can be released from the base element. As a result, the printing element is replaceable and the user can choose a printing element that he wishes to use, depending on his needs.

The base element preferably has a flat base part and a base connection part.

In a further embodiment, the pressure element and the base element are rigidly connected to each other.

The releasable, rigid connection between the pressure element and the base element effected in Advantageously, that the stability is increased, especially in the application or in the treatment.

In a further embodiment, the pressure element connection part and the base element connection part are designed as two parts of a plug-in, screw, latching or bayonet connection.

The advantage is that the pressure element connection part and the base element connection part can be easily detached from one another and easily plugged together. In particular, the screw, latch or bayonet connection allows stability of the treatment set, which improves the use of the treatment set, especially when using the mat in a vertical position, for example on a wall.

In a further embodiment, the pressure element connection part and / or the base element connection part on latching elements, which together form a latching connection. Locking elements can be formed for example by a latching lug and a matching recess, a bead and a matching receiving groove or hooks and retaining pins.

In a further embodiment, the base part is a plate. The base part may be formed, for example, as a wood, metal or plastic plate. The plate is preferably as thin as possible, so that it is not felt or as little as possible during treatment under the treatment mat. Too thick a plate can be troublesome to the treatment or damaging to the mat. The height of the base part may for example be 1 to 15 mm, in particular 2 to 12 mm.

According to a development, the base part may have a connecting means for detachable connection to a further base part. If the base parts are connected together, they can not slip, which improves the stability of the arrangement of the treatment modules.

Preferably, the pressure element has a head part.

In a further embodiment, the head part and the pressure element connection part are integrally formed. This causes advantageously increased stability, especially in the treatment.

In a further embodiment, the head part is detachably arranged on the pressure element connection part, so that the head part can be detached from the pressure element connection part, for example for the purpose of cleaning.

In a further embodiment, the head part, the pressure element connection part and the base element connection part are arranged along an axis, wherein the axis is perpendicular to the extension plane of the mat. The head part is formed rotationally symmetrical or asymmetrical to the axis. For example, the head part is laterally offset from a position in which the head part is placed rotationally symmetrical to the axis.

The asymmetric positioning of the head part to the axis advantageously causes that by this special arrangement, the positions of the pressure elements contained in the treatment set can be varied and thereby the treatment set is more versatile. The user can also choose from different positions of the treatment module or the head part with which he wants to treat his musculature.

The rotationally symmetrical arrangement of the head part to the axis causes in an advantageous manner that the pressure element can be produced inexpensively. Further, the pressure element can be placed rotationally symmetrical, so that the user does not have to pay attention in which direction the head part is offset to the axis and can make no mistakes here.

In a further embodiment, the head part is spherical, dome-shaped, hemispherical, ellipsoidal, semi-ellipsoidal, mushroom-shaped, multi-pronged or amorphous. Mehrgipflig here means that the pressure element is provided with several bulges or bulges, which enter into contact with the treatment to be treated body site during treatment.

In a further embodiment, the surface of the head part has such a roughness that the skin does not slip over the head part during the treatment. Rather, there should be adhesive contact between the skin of the user and the head part, so that the best possible massage effect or treatment effect can occur.

In a further embodiment, at least the head part consists of a material incompressible during the treatment. Advantageously, the pressure effect of the head part can be increased by the incompressible material. The headboard may for example consist of wood, (hard) plastic or metal.

In a further embodiment, at least the head part consists of a compressible material during the treatment. Advantageously, by using a compressible material, the pressure effect of the head part can be reduced become. As a result, too much pressure for the user can be reduced to a comfortable level. The head part can be formed, for example, from cork, foam or an elastomer.

In a further embodiment, two or more printing elements are connected together to form a double printing element or multiple printing element having two or more printing element connecting parts.

In a further embodiment, two or more socket members are connected to a double socket or multiple socket member having two or more socket connection members.
