Definitions

  • the massage device is used there by means of massage forms that are ergonomically adapted to a part of the body.
  • the leg is immediately placed on six rollers, the axis of rotation of which extends horizontally and at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the leg.
  • the Achilles tendon should be massaged.
  • measures such as stimulating the blood circulation in the area of the Achilles tendon, such as with a massage device, can be used DE 20 2013 000 512 U1 be useful.
  • long-term massages can tire the leg and thus the leg and in particular the area of the Achilles tendon press on the rollers with a higher weight than is desired or makes sense. This can cause the roller movement to slow down and reduce the massage effect.
  • a kneading device is also known, the two kneading elements of which are connected to one another via a belt in such a way that rotation of the two elements is prevented.
  • the kneading device is intended to allow hands, feet and back to be kneaded, with the hands or feet on the said belt can be stored.
  • the area of the Achilles tendon can therefore only be kneaded with difficulty, since the deposit area and the kneading area each lie exactly between the two kneading elements.
  • the belt connection also enables only kneading by pressing the two kneading elements.
  • At least one of the massage devices - preferably a total of two massage devices - has a plurality of massage heads, preferably three massage heads each, one of the massage heads, preferably all massage heads, being freely rotatable about an axis of rotation.
  • the proposed perpendicular alignment of the axes of rotation makes it possible in a further preferred aspect for the massage heads, but at least one massage head, to be deflectable from their rest position against the restoring force of a spring element.
  • the spring elements can be designed as spiral springs. Depending on the choice of spring force or restoring force, the Achilles tendon can be massaged very relaxed or tightly.
  • At least one massage head is attached to the massage device by latching means or a Screw connection is attached and can be removed by hand. In particular, this makes it easier to clean the massage heads.
  • the massage device and in particular the massage heads can be heated.
  • Heating resistors can be used as heating elements, as they are known from the field of other technical devices with which a person skilled in the art is familiar, such as heated blankets or pillows.
  • heating resistors with or without the PTC function or "Positive Temperature Coefficient Function" known to the person skilled in the art heating wires, heating cords, heating foils, radiant heaters, fan heaters or the waste heat from lamps can also be used for heating.
  • the invention can be supplemented by the fact that the massage heads are equipped with lighting means, the waste heat of which can be used for heating the surfaces of the massage device that come into contact with the skin.
  • Fig. 1 shows a highly schematized massage device 1 suitable for massaging the Achilles tendon (Tendo Achilles), not explicitly shown here, with the leg 7 extended.
  • control signals can be designed as light, radio wave or ultrasonic signals.
