Description

This invention relates to a health device that can massage and loosen the muscles of the lower body that have become weak due to lack of exercise caused by illness or old age.

As we get sick or get older, we move less and our muscles weaken, causing the knees, hips, and hip joints to move more slowly and sometimes even painfully. There are various methods to solve this, such as squats, exercises, walking, and hand massage, but those who do not have the physical strength to continue massaging these muscles are unable to do so consistently.

The conventional method of strengthening muscles involves moving the body while putting weight on it and massaging the muscles, but for those with weak physical strength, this puts a strain on the body and makes it difficult to continue.
This invention solves the problem of strain on the body when exercising.

The problem can be solved by sitting on a chair or the like to which the fitness equipment of this invention is attached with the inside of the knee touching the uneven surface of the fitness equipment and swinging the legs back and forth, thereby exercising the lower body without putting weight on it.

You can exercise by simply sitting on a chair equipped with exercise equipment and moving your legs back and forth, so it doesn't put much strain on your body and you can gradually massage and loosen the weak muscles in your lower body. In addition, the bumps on the rollers touch your calves, so you can massage them, which improves blood circulation. At the same time, as you move the muscles in your knee joint, the muscles in your thigh, which are connected to them, also move, so you can massage and loosen the muscles, which I think has a positive effect on your body.

We have devised a method for gradually massaging the muscles of the lower body and calves without straining the body by simply swinging both legs back and forth while attaching the fitness equipment of this invention to a chair with fixing brackets as shown in Fig. 6 and sitting down as shown in Fig. 10 with the bumps on the roller part of the fitness equipment touching the inside of the knees.
The fitness exercise device of the present invention can be attached not only to a chair, but also to a variety of other places such as a chair as shown in FIG. 7 or a bed as shown in FIG.

As shown in Figure 10, simply sit on a chair to which the fitness equipment is attached, place the bumps of the roller part on the inside of your knees, and swing your legs back and forth. Without using much physical strength, the roller part touches the base of your calf on the inside of your knee, massaging your calf, which is said to be the second heart, and stretching the contracted muscles of your knee joint while massaging the thigh muscles that are connected to it.

As shown in Figure 8, a fitness device with a reclining function is attached to a reclining chair, and by tilting the back of the chair backward and swinging the legs, the stretched thigh muscles are pulled while the connected hip joint muscles are also moved, and the thigh, calf and hip joint muscles are massaged and strengthened.
The roller of the fitness exercise equipment shown in FIG. 10 is divided into two parts. By placing your calves on the roller and moving your left and right feet back and forth alternately, the roller also rotates alternately, and the uneven surface of the roller can massage your entire calf.

If it is attached to the edge of a bed as shown in Fig. 8, a person who is lacking in exercise can simply hold on to the handrail and place both feet on the exercise equipment and swing them around, thereby massaging and loosening the muscles from the calves to the thighs and hip joints, thereby helping to alleviate lack of exercise.
Also, if you use the stepladder-shaped fitness equipment shown in Figure 5, you can easily use it anywhere by simply placing it on a bed or on the floor.

It does not use electricity and is safe, can be easily attached to existing chairs, etc., and can be manufactured more cheaply if attached at the same time as the chair is being made. Therefore, I think it has great value in terms of being useful for rehabilitation of people who have become physically weak due to illness, and for helping elderly people to get more exercise.
