Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a pressure device for applying pressure to a body part of a user to be treated on a massage device of a therapy device for treating fascial adhesions, as well as a therapy device with such a pressure device.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

Many people today are strained by muscular tension. The connective tissue, the so-called fascia, plays a major role in the development of such tension. As a tension network, fascia envelop and support the muscles and organs. They also contain lymph fluid and serve as a lead structure for blood vessels and nerve strands. Healthy fasciae are present in an orderly and relaxed structure. Faulty loads or overloads as well as lack of movement can cause the fascia to twist and eventually stick and harden. This causes pain and immobility, especially when a fascia stiffens and thickens so that it constricts nerves. Furthermore, injuries, overloading and immobilization can lead to an unstructured interweaving of the fascia, which leads to a thickening and hardening of the respective fascia.

Massage rollers are known for loosening and loosening the fascia, for the treatment of fascial adhesions. A user rolls along with the body part to be treated along the massage roller. However, such massage rollers have the disadvantage that the user has to lie on the floor in order to be able to roll along the massage roller on the floor. However, the massage roller can slip easily and not every part of the body to be treated can be suitably and comfortably treated with such a massage roller lying loosely on the floor. Furthermore, as in 1 shown, a massage roller can also be provided as part of a therapy device, the therapy device being attached to a wall or a wall-like element. To treat fascia, sufficient pressure is required on the body part to be treated on the massage roller.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Against this background, the invention is based on the object of providing a pressure device for pressing a body part to be treated against a massage device of a therapy device with sufficient or suitable pressure force for the treatment of fascial adhesions of a person.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a pressure device with the features of claim 1 and a therapy device with the features of claim 1.

• Eine Andruckvorrichtung, welche derart ausgebildet ist, an einer Therapievorrichtung mit wenigstens einer Massageeinrichtung zur Behandlung von faszialen Verklebung bei einer Person, fest oder lösbar angebracht zu werden,
• wobei die Andruckvorrichtung mit zwei Armeinrichtungen ausgebildet, wobei jede Armeinrichtung ein Griffelement aufweist, wobei das Griffelement derart ausgebildet ist eine Ausgangsposition und eine Betätigungsposition einzunehmen,
• wobei das Griffelement in seiner Ausgangsposition derart angeordnet ist den Zugang zwischen den beiden Armeinrichtungen für eine Person frei zu geben zum Aufstellen der Person zwischen den beiden Armeinrichtungen, und in seiner Betätigungsposition derart angeordnet ist, dass eine Person sich an dem Griffelement abdrücken und gegen die wenigstens eine Massageneinrichtung andrücken kann.

Accordingly, it is provided:

• A pressure device, which is designed to be attached to a therapy device with at least one massage device for the treatment of fascial bonding in a person, firmly or releasably,
• wherein the pressing device is designed with two arm devices, each arm device having a grip element, the grip element being designed to assume a starting position and an actuating position,
• wherein the handle element is arranged in its starting position so as to allow access between the two arm devices for a person to position the person between the two arm devices, and is arranged in its actuating position such that a person presses off the handle element and against the at least one can press a massage device.

The pressure device has the advantage that a user can easily position himself between the two arm devices without the handle elements being in the way in the way, so that obese people can also use the pressure device. By grasping the grip elements subsequently in their actuating position, the user can specifically press against these grip elements and, with the area to be treated, contact the massage device, e.g. Massage roll, press on and perform a self massage to treat his fascia. The pressure device thus allows the user to apply sufficient targeted pressure to the massage device with his site to be treated. As stated above, sufficient pressure is required during the self-massage by means of the massage device in order to release fascial bonds. As a result, weaker or older people in particular can easily apply a sufficiently high pressure on the body area to be treated to the massage device in order to achieve an optimal result in the treatment of their fascial adhesions.

A therapy device for the treatment of fascial adhesions is also included provided to a person with at least one such pressure device.
