Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement for acupressure therapy.
  • acupressure and acupuncture are increasingly being used in irritation and reflexology therapy in addition to massage and heat treatment.
  • the effect of acupressure and acupuncture is based on pressure and friction effects, to which sensitive connections between the superficial layers of the body and internal organs are exposed.
  • Acupressure and acupuncture are used in particular as preventive measures for the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, of internal diseases and in particular of painful conditions.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a new arrangement for acupressure, which is both easy to manufacture and therefore inexpensive for the purchase, as well as easy to use by medical laypersons, and effective in use.
  • an elastic substrate as a support for pressure bodies with a plurality of acupressure elements, which are configured identically to one another and face away from the substrate and are rotatably connected to the substrate.
  • the pressure bodies are preferably movably connected to the substrate.
  • the acupressure elements are designed as tips of pyramid-shaped integral extensions of the pressure body.
  • the configuration of the arrangement according to the invention enables the pressure bodies carrying the acupressure elements to be produced in a simple manner, e.g. in the injection molding process, and their connection to the substrate serving as a support and designed as a plastic film, which can also be designed in a simple manner in terms of its application.
  • acupressure device preferred indications for the acupressure device according to the invention are localized headaches, pain in the spine, for example lumbar spine, spine, cervical spine, vegetative disorders, psychosomatic disorders and inflammation in joints, muscles, periosteum, the skin in general, the back, the spine, the hip and the soles of the feet.
  • the acupressure arrangement according to the invention for individual use for normalizing cardiac and circulatory activity can also be used easily and safely in the areas of the respiratory and nervous system as well as the stomach and intestinal tract.
  • the acupressure arrangement according to the invention is, for example, in the form of a band, it can be placed on the relevant skin surface for a long time with the aid of an elastic bandage, a belt, a towel or the like. Finally, it can help normalize the cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous systems, and the gastrointestinal tract a repeated implication of the acupressure arrangement according to the invention can be carried out by covering the entire surface of the affected part of the body, for example the chest, back, hip, shoulder, cervical spine, lumbar spine, sole of the foot or the like.
  • FIG. 1 shows, on an elastic substrate 10 in the form of an elastic plastic film, a plurality of mutually similar pressure bodies 12 are arranged at predetermined distances from one another, which, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, with a plurality facing away from one another similarly formed acupressure elements 14 are provided.
  • An advantageous arrangement of the pressure bodies 12 on the substrate 10 is shown in Figures 1 and 4.
  • the line-shaped pressure bodies 12 are assigned to one another in such a way that the centers of three adjacent pressure bodies 12 form an isosceles triangle.
  • the leg length is to be dimensioned such that the distance a between the adjacent pressure body surfaces is approximately 5 to 15% of the pressure body diameter. With a pressure body outer diameter of 25 mm, the distance between the adjacent pressure body surfaces is preferably 2 to 3 mm.
  • the acupressure elements are tips of pyramid-shaped integral extensions of the pressure body 12, each with a base area forming an equilateral triangle.
  • the extensions 14 each comprise two isosceles triangles forming side surfaces inclined to the base and also an isosceles triangle forming side surfaces perpendicular to the base, all of which are brought together in the tip 17.
  • the pressure body - seen from above - forms a regular hexagon.
  • the corners of this hexagon and the centers of the side surfaces are each assigned an acupressure element 14, the acupressure elements assigned to the side surfaces terminating with their vertical side surface with the side surfaces of the hexagon and the acupressure elements assigned to the corners of the hexagon each with their inclined Side surfaces facing these.
  • acupressure elements are also provided around the center of the pressure body 12, all of which point outward with their vertical side faces and thus likewise form a hexagon corresponding to the pressure body.
  • the effective tips 17 of the outside Acupressure elements are therefore arranged with respect to the central fastening opening 19 of the pressure body 12 along two concentric circles and the effective tips 17 of the internal acupressure elements on a single concentric circle.
  • the dimensioning of these spheres of action is chosen according to the geometric position of the stimulus and reflex points and zones to be influenced.
  • the pressure body can also be designed as a disk 12 ′, as seen from above, as is indicated in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the external acupressure elements then expediently have side surfaces instead of the vertical flat side surfaces, each of which is part of a cylinder jacket, the diameter of which is determined by the size of the pressure element.
  • Such a pressure element also has a second row of acupuncture elements adjacent to the center of the pressure element.
  • the individual pressure bodies are connected to the substrate 10 by means of a hollow rivet 22 made of plastic in a rotatable or fixed manner.
  • the rotatable connection in cooperation with the elastic film as the substrate has the advantage that when the acupressure arrangement according to the invention is used over a large area, the individual pressure bodies can adapt to the surface of the body part to be treated.
