Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of massage devices, and more particularly to handheld massage device, which provides a controlled massage therapy on animal or human bodies.
- a variety of handheld massage devices are available on the market. Many of them are manually operated handheld devices, but there are also handheld motor driven devices which may be used for self-therapy or be used for massage therapy on a subject body by another person performing the massage. Such massage devices are typically used for myofascial stimulation and release, both to prevent and to treat muscle tension on a human or animal. The massage therapy may be performed before and/or after physical activity to release tight muscles and restricted fascia, and to increase blood circulation thereby decreasing the risk of injuries.
- a number of principles may be utilized in the massage devices to create the massaging effect, e.g. vibrational, tapping, frictional and/or rotational properties.
- the rotational property is an important aspect as it allows the user to apply pressure at specific spots of the body and further allows for rolling along the affected muscles which provides further relief and release.
- an object of the present invention is to at least provide a complementary and improved massage device for massaging of human or animal bodies which is able to cope with working on animal or human bodies out in the field as well as being adaptable to the individual requirements and external conditions of each therapy session. It would further be advantageous to provide a handheld massage device with as few parts as possible which is sturdy, and which is reliable.
- a massage device comprising a rotor and a plurality of parallel rollers which are rotatably and peripherally mounted onto said rotor.
- Each roller is rotatable about its respective axis, and each respective rotation axis of said rollers is parallel with the rotation axis of the rotor, such that the respective lateral surfaces of the rollers advantageously provide a desired massage contact to a human or animal body to which the massage device is applied.
- the massage device further comprises at least one handle, to which the rotor is rotatably connected, and a connector unit arranged for connecting to an external drive device for setting the rotor in rotation.
- a sturdy massage device is provided to which an external drive device can be connected to drive the rotor and thereby a hand-held controlled massage therapy can be applied to the subject body by at a selected rotational speed of the rotor, pressing the rotating rotor including the peripherally positioned rollers towards the body, such that the lateral surfaces of the rollers come into contact with the body.
- a diameter of the rollers, number of rollers, diameter of the peripheral positioning of the rollers, and rotational speed of the rotor can be selected differently according to different embodiments of the invention.
- the selection of the diameter of and the number of rollers, together with the selected diameter of the peripheral positioning of the rollers, selected rotational speed of the rotor, and applied pressure as the masseur presses the massage device towards the massage area will provide different specific massaging effect to the subject body.
- different massaging effects are achieved, including myofascial release to and/or neurologic myo relax of a majority of the muscles of the subject body.
- the drive device may be exchanged for a fully charged one, or the massage device may be exchanged for another one with a desired massaging effect or size.
- the connector unit is arranged at an end portion of said rotor. This is advantageous to easily exchange drive device/massage device to fit the current conditions for the massage session.
- the connector unit may comprise a quick- connector part or some other applicable mechanical locking interface between the massage device and drive device, to lock the drive unit to the massage device.
- At least one handle is arranged to contain said drive device. This is advantageous to provide a one handle massage device with a drive device. However, this is also advantageous to provide a two handle massage device such that the user can use two hands when performing the massage, which improves balance and adaptability to apply controlled pressure to the subject body.
- the at least one handle is releasably connected to said rotor. This is advantageous e.g. to enable exchange of the handle itself or when serving or exchanging e.g. the rollers or other parts of the massage device.
- the at least one handle is arranged extending in a longitudinal direction of said rotor. This is
- a rotational resistance of said rollers about their rotation axis is controlled by means of at least one adjustment element.
- Each roller may be provided with a respective
- adjustment element or one adjustment device may be used to adjust the rotational resistance of several rollers. Controlling the rotational resistance of the rotation of the rollers about their rotation axis is advantageous to provide different resistance applied by the massage device towards the skin of the subject body. For example, when the rollers are substantially free to rotate the lateral surface of the rollers will roll against the subject body and no oil is needed to perform the massage. Further, if required, massage may be applied outside the clothes of the subject. Flowever, if a rotational resistance is applied to the rollers, where the most extreme value would correspond to the rollers being substantially locked from rotation about their own axis, the rotation of the rotor will still cause the rollers to rotate onto the body, but since there is little (or none) rotation of the rollers themselves, the skin is
- the at least one adjustment element comprises an adjustment screw or a bushing which is advantageous.
- the device further comprises handle strap adapted to be connected to at least one of said at least one handle.
- handle strap adapted to be connected to at least one of said at least one handle. This is advantageous when performing self-therapy, i.e. when the user uses the massage device on the own body and needs to reach e.g. portions of the back.
- the handle strap is arranged to be (optionally releasably) connected to opposite end portions of said massage device, i.e. preferably on the outer portions of the handles or the handle and the drive device. This is advantageous to reach hard-to-reach areas when performing self-therapy or when performing massage on some hard-to-reach portion of a large animal.
- a lateral surface of said rollers is one of smooth, at least partly provided with an embossed pattern, and at least partly provided with grooves. This is advantageous to provide different massaging effects. Further, different materials of the rollers, e.g. metal, wood, polymeric, leather, velvet etc., or at the lateral surface of the rollers to provide different effects is conceivable within the inventive concept.
- control unit arranged to control a rotational speed of said rotor. This is advantageous to control the massage effect.
- the drive device is one of battery operated, and cord operated, which is advantageous.
- the number of rollers is selected is between 2 and 10 rollers, more preferably selected between 3 and 8 rollers, and most preferably between 2 and 6 rollers. This is advantageous to obtain different massaging effects as described above.
- the diameter of the rollers is selected between 1 to 5 cm. This is advantageous to obtain different massaging effects as described above.
- the distance between the rollers of a selected diameter and speed of the rotation of the rotor is selected to together provide tapping/taptoment and vibration to the massaged area of the subject body.
- This massaging effect activates the nervous system and prepares the muscle structure for work.
- the rotational movement of the rollers provides increased blood circulation and connective tissue massage.
- stretching providing a massaging effect of neurologic myo relax, release of nerve tensions in the muscles, can help extend the amount of stretching of the muscle.
- the rotation of the rollers can help increase the blood flow through the muscles etc.
