Hereinafter, a fascia release jig according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to each drawing for understanding of the present invention. However, the following description does not limit the claimed invention.

First, a fascia release jig according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the fascia release jig 1 of the present invention is placed in one direction on the skin 3 (indicated by the white arrow in FIG. 1(b)) while being in direct or indirect contact with the skin 3. direction shown) to move the skin 3 in one direction to release the fascia that has contracted or adhered in the skin. Here, the term "fascia release" means to restore the fascia to its normal state by tearing off atrophies and adhesions of the fascia. Further, "indirect contact with the skin 3" means that, for example, when wearing clothes, the fascia release jig 1 is applied to a predetermined part of the body over the clothes, and the fascia release jig 1 is applied through the clothes. It means a case where the tool 1 is brought into contact with the skin 3 and the like.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the following explanation will be made on the assumption that a practitioner who is different from the subject performs fascia release on the subject. Of course, the treatment is not limited to such a case, and the subject may perform the fascia release using the fascia release jig by himself/herself.

This fascia release jig 1 is composed of a base portion 10 and a skin contact portion 20, as shown in FIG.

The base portion 10 constitutes the skeleton of the fascia release jig 1 . Further, in this embodiment, a grip portion for gripping the fascia release jig 1 with the hand 2 is configured. In this embodiment, the base portion 10 is formed of a substantially cylindrical resin member. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, by cutting a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member in the longitudinal direction, the base is a substantially cylindrical member having a flat surface 11 and a curved surface 12. A section 10 is formed.
Further, in this embodiment, urethane is used as the material of the base portion 10 . Of course, the material forming the base portion 10 is not limited to urethane, and can be changed as appropriate. However, it is preferable to use a resin material, such as urethane, which has both light weight and moderate stretchability.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a sheet-like member (thin plate-like member ) is detachably attached along the curved surface 12 . As the adhesive material 30, any material may be used as long as it can attach the skin contact portion 20 to the surface of the base portion 10 in a detachable manner. In this embodiment, as the adhesive 30, a double-sided tape is used.

The shape and size of the base portion 10 are not limited to those of this embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, when the fascia release jig 1 is held by the hand 2 and used, the size of the base portion 10 is preferably the length in the direction parallel to the moving direction of the fascia release jig 1. length (hereinafter referred to as the length in the longitudinal direction) is about 15 cm to about 20 cm, and the length in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the fascia release jig 1 (hereinafter referred to as the length in the lateral direction) is 5 cm. It is desirable to set the height to about 7 cm. This is because if the length in the longitudinal direction exceeds about 20 cm, it becomes difficult to grip and move with the hand 2, and if the length is less than about 15 cm, it is too small to grip with the hand 2, and it is difficult to knead with the hand 2. This is because the movement is likely to occur, and it becomes difficult to bring the skin contact portion 20 into sufficient contact with the skin 3 . Also, if the length in the short direction exceeds about 7 cm, it becomes difficult to grip with the hand 2. If the length is less than about 5 cm, it is too small to grip with the hand 2, and a kneading motion is performed with the hand 2. This is because it becomes difficult to bring the skin contact portion 20 into sufficient contact with the skin 3 .
More preferably, the ratio of the length in the lateral direction of the base portion 10 to the length in the longitudinal direction is preferably 1:2. With such a configuration, it is possible to easily grasp and move with the hand 2, prevent kneading motion with the hand 2, and bring the skin contact portion 20 into sufficient contact with the skin 3. is.

The skin contact portion 20 is provided in a predetermined area on the surface of the base portion 10 to form a direct or indirect contact portion with the skin 3 . Specifically, it is for giving stimulation to the skin 3 to enable myofascial release.
In this embodiment, the skin contact portion 20 is formed of a sheet-like member having a rectangular outer shape in plan view. Moreover, it is set as the structure using the sheet-like member formed with urethane. Furthermore, the hardness of the urethane forming the skin contact portion 20 is made higher than the hardness of the urethane forming the base portion 10 .
Of course, the material forming the skin contact portion 20 is not limited to that of this embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. However, it is preferable to use a sheet-like member made of a resin material such as urethane, which has both lightness and appropriate stretchability.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the skin contact portion 20 is detachably attached to a predetermined region of the surface of the base portion 10 via an adhesive 30, so that the base portion 10 A skin contact portion 20 is provided in a predetermined area on the surface of the.

Also, the outer shape of the skin contact portion 20 is not limited to that of the present embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the tip end portion of the skin contact portion 20 in the longitudinal direction may be configured to have a mountain shape projecting forward in the moving direction of the fascia release jig 1 . With such a configuration, even if the part of the body where the fascia release is desired is not flat, such as near the base of the finger or near the clavicle, the skin contact part 20 is sufficiently placed on that part. It can be made easy to contact, and fascia release can be performed more effectively.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a plurality of concave portions 22 and a plurality of convex portions 23 are formed on the surface of the skin contact portion 20 (contact surface with the skin 3). It is configured to provide uneven rows 21 alternately arranged in the moving direction of the tool 1 (the longitudinal direction of the fascia release tool 1 in this embodiment). The concave-convex row 21 serves as a member for directly or indirectly contacting the skin 3 and moving the skin 3 in one direction during use to stimulate the fascia and muscles.
In addition, the concave and convex rows 21 are arranged in a direction crossing the moving direction of the fascia release jig 1 (in this embodiment, the lateral direction of the fascia release jig 1) in a plurality of rows (4 rows in this embodiment). row) are arranged in parallel.
Further, between the adjacent uneven rows 21, linear grooves 24 extending in the moving direction of the fascia release jig 1 and elongated rectangular grooves 24 in plan view are provided.

In this embodiment, as the configuration of the concave-convex row 21 , both the plurality of concave portions 22 and the plurality of convex portions 23 are inclined in a direction intersecting the moving direction of the fascia release jig 1 . It is configured to have a surface.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the concave portion 22 is formed by a pair of inclined front and rear inclined surfaces 22a and 22b arranged opposite to each other in the moving direction of the fascia release jig 1. It is composed of faces. A pair of inclined surfaces 22a and 22b are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the fascia release jig 1. As shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the front side inclined surface 22a and the rear side inclined surface 22b are a pair of curved surfaces recessed toward the inside of the fascia release jig 1, and a pair of The curvature radii of the curved surfaces are set to be the same.
Further, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the convex portion 23 has a front inclined surface 23a, a rear inclined surface 23b, and a top surface disposed between the front inclined surface 23a and the rear inclined surface 23b. 23c. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the top surface 23c is formed as a curved surface that is convexly curved toward the outside of the fascia release jig 1. As shown in FIG.
The front inclined surface 23 a also serves as the rear inclined surface 22 b that forms the recess 22 , and the rear inclined surface 23 b also serves as the front inclined surface 22 a that forms the recess 22 .

In this embodiment, all the concave portions 22 forming the skin contact portion 20 have the same shape and size. Further, the configuration is such that all the convex portions 23 forming the skin contact portion 20 have the same shape and size. Furthermore, in the concavo-convex rows 21 adjacent to each other, all the concave portions 22 and all the convex portions 23 are arranged in the same arrangement. Of course, the configuration is not limited to this, and the plurality of concave portions 22 and the plurality of convex portions 23 forming the skin contact portion 20 may have different shapes and sizes. It is also possible to adopt a configuration that differs depending on, for example, each region where the data is displayed. Also, in the adjacent concave-convex row 21, the arrangement of the concave portions 22 and the convex portions 23 may be different.

The skin contact portion 20 having such a configuration can be formed, for example, by using an injection mold or cutting a sheet-like member made of urethane.

The number of concave portions 22 and convex portions 23 forming the concave-convex row 21 and the number of the plurality of concave-convex rows 21 arranged in parallel are not limited to those of the present embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. However, it is preferable that the skin 3 be in contact with the uneven rows 21 in an even number during use. In this embodiment, although not shown in detail, it is configured such that two rows of projections and depressions 21 are in contact with the skin 3 in use.

Next, a method of using the fascia release jig 1 having such a configuration will be described. It should be noted that the fascia release jig 1 of the present invention can be used in two different ways, depending on whether the fascia release jig 1 is used in direct contact with the skin 3 or in indirect contact with the skin 3. are the same and have similar effects. Therefore, for convenience of explanation, only the case where the fascia release jig 1 is used in direct contact with the skin 3 will be explained below.

Referring to FIG. 1(b), a practitioner (not shown) grips the fascia release jig 1 with the hand 2, and places the skin contact part 20 on the part of the skin 3 of the subject where the fascia release is to be performed. contact.
Then, in a state of contact with the skin 3, while applying an appropriate pressure to the skin 3 (pressure in the direction toward the inside of the skin), one direction on the skin 3 (indicated by the white arrow in FIG. 1(b)) direction). At this time, it is possible to appropriately change the number of uneven rows 21 in contact with the skin 3 among the plurality of uneven rows 21 depending on the pressure applied to the skin 3 . In this embodiment, even when the fascia release jig 1 is brought into contact with the skin 3 without applying pressure, the two concave-convex rows 21 are in contact with the skin 3 .
The above operation is performed one or more times depending on the degree of atrophy and adhesion of the fascia.

By the above operation, it is possible to create a state in which the rear inclined surface 22b of the concave portion 22 is caught on the skin 3, as shown in FIG. 4(b). Moreover, in the convex part 23, the front side inclined surface 23a can create a state where the skin 3 is caught. Therefore, the plurality of concave portions 22 and the plurality of convex portions 23 can firmly grip the skin 3 and provide stimulation. As described above, the fascia release jig 1 according to the present invention applies pressure in the direction toward the inside of the skin 3 while it is in contact with the skin 3, and moves it toward the skin 3 in one direction. , the rear inclined surface 22b of the concave portion 22 and the front inclined surface 23a of the convex portion 23 are caught on the skin 3, thereby compressing, stretching, and vibrating the skin and muscles and fascia under the skin. The configuration and the method of using it have remarkable features not found in the prior art.
More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1(b), the fascia of muscle K1 (not shown) and the fascia of muscle K2 (not shown) in the fused state, such as fused portion Y, or muscle K1, muscle K2, etc. can be compressed, stretched, and vibrated. As a result, bodily fluids such as blood, interstitial fluid, and lymph that have been in a state of poor circulation can be returned to a state of good circulation. Therefore, the muscles K1 and K2 can be returned to their normal positions, and adhesion of the fascia can be eliminated.
Through the above-described operations, the practitioner can effectively perform the fascia release treatment on the subject using the jig 1 for fascia release.

The fascia release jig 1 having such a configuration has the following effects.

The skin contact portion 20 is configured to have an uneven row 21 in which a plurality of concave portions 22 and a plurality of convex portions 23 are alternately arranged in the moving direction of the fascia release jig 1 on the surface, and the uneven row 21 is provided. A plurality of rows (four rows) are arranged in parallel in a direction crossing the moving direction of the fascia release jig 1, and extend in the movement direction of the fascia release jig 1 between the adjacent uneven rows 21. By providing the grooves 24, the plurality of recesses 22 and the plurality of projections 23 provided in the skin contact portion 20 can be divided into individual regions. Therefore, the surface area of the skin contact portion 20 including the plurality of concave portions 22 and the plurality of convex portions 23 can be effectively increased, and the plurality of concave portions 22 and the plurality of convex portions 23 can be brought into direct contact with the skin 3 individually. be able to. Therefore, the contact points with the skin 3 can be set at a plurality of points, and the frictional resistance against the skin 3 can be improved. Therefore, various stimuli can be applied to the fascia, and fascia release can be performed efficiently.
This eliminates poor circulation of body fluids such as blood, interstitial fluid, and lymph, improving the internal environment and making it easier for oxygen and other nutrients to reach cells. As a result, it is possible to create a state in which waste products and fatigue substances do not remain in specific parts of the body, and pain such as pain occurring in specific parts of the body can be improved or eliminated. In addition, by resolving poor circulation of bodily fluids such as blood, interstitial fluid, and lymph, the range of motion of joints can be effectively increased. Furthermore, by improving the internal environment, early recovery from fatigue, improvement of immunity, and prevention of injury can be achieved. In addition, swelling and dullness can be reduced or eliminated.

In addition, the skin contact portion 20 is formed of a sheet-like member made of urethane, and the skin contact portion 20 is detachably attached to a predetermined region of the surface of the base portion 10 via an adhesive 30. , there is no need to provide the skin contact portion 20 on the entire surface (perimeter) of the base portion 10 . Therefore, it is possible to provide a jig for fascia release with good manufacturing efficiency and cost reduction. Moreover, it is possible to provide a fascia release jig capable of firmly gripping the base portion 10 . Furthermore, it is possible to provide a fascia release jig that allows replacement of only the skin contact portion. Therefore, if multiple types of skin contact parts with different shapes and numbers of concave and convex parts are prepared, the skin contact part can be appropriately exchanged according to the site to be performed fascia release and the preference of the person receiving fascia release. can be used as Therefore, it is possible to provide a jig for fascia release that is convenient and allows easy and effective fascia release suitable for each individual.

In addition, since the treatment can be performed only by moving in one direction while directly contacting the skin 3, the fascia release jig 1 can be easily used by anyone and has reproducibility. be able to. Therefore, when used for patients at an osteopathic clinic, etc., it is possible to train practitioners who can reliably produce therapeutic effects in a short period of time.
In addition to the direct contact with the skin 3, it is configured so that it can be used not only in direct contact with the skin 3, but also in a state of indirect contact when wearing clothes, etc., so that the treatment can be performed easily even when the gender of the person to be treated and the person to be treated are different. It can be used as a tool. Therefore, it is possible to provide a myofascial release jig capable of reducing physical and mental pain and burden for both the operator and the person to be treated. In addition, when used between husband and wife, between parents and children, between athletes, between athletes and coaches, etc., it can create opportunities for good communication and can contribute to resolving lack of communication. It can be used as a jig for

Furthermore, when a practitioner who is different from the subject performs the treatment using the fascia release jig, the subject is more relaxed than when the subject uses the fascia release jig by himself/herself. You can perform myofascial release in this state. Specifically, myofascial release can be performed in a relaxed state without excessive tension being applied to agonist muscles, antagonist muscles, and cooperating muscles. Therefore, the myofascial release can be performed more effectively.

In addition, the operator can easily adjust the number of uneven rows 21 in contact with the skin 3 among the plurality of uneven rows 21 only by adjusting the contact pressure of the skin contact portion 20 against the skin 3 . Therefore, it is possible to effectively treat different parts such as between the skin and the fascia, between the fascia and the muscle, and inside the muscle.
Furthermore, since it is only moved in one direction while being in direct or indirect contact with the skin 3, the treatment can be performed in a short period of time. You can feel the improvement in your range of motion. Therefore, it is possible to provide a fascia release jig that facilitates subjective and objective judgment of preoperative and postoperative findings.

Moreover, not only can fascia release be performed, but if the degree of fascia adhesion is to be inspected, the muscle can be released by simply moving it in one direction while in direct or indirect contact with the skin 3 . It can be used as an inspection jig for inspecting the degree of adhesion of the fascia by sensing the movement of the membrane. Therefore, one fascia release jig 1 can be used as a fascia release jig for performing fascia release or as an inspection jig for inspecting the degree of fascia adhesion. It can be used properly according to the purpose. Therefore, the fascia release jig 1 can be used as a multifunctional jig.

In addition, both of the concave portion 22 and the convex portion 23 are configured to have inclined surfaces arranged in a direction intersecting the moving direction of the fascia release jig 1, so that the concave portion 22 and the convex portion 23 can be A state in which the convex portion 23 is caught on the skin 3 can be created. Therefore, the plurality of concave portions 22 and the plurality of convex portions 23 can firmly grip the skin 3 and provide stimulation, thereby enabling the fascia release jig 1 to perform the fascia release more effectively. can do.

In addition, by configuring the front side inclined surface 22a and the rear side inclined surface 22b of the recess 22 as a pair of curved surfaces recessed toward the inside of the fascia release jig 1, the recess 22 is free from dust and dirt. The jig 1 for fascia release can be easily removed and cleaned even when dust is accumulated. Therefore, the jig can be easily maintained.

Further, in the adjacent concave-convex row 21, the shape and size of the concave portions 22, the shape and size of the convex portions 23, and the arrangement of the concave portions 22 and the convex portions 23 are all the same. A uniform load can be applied to the skin 3 by the protrusions 23 of . Therefore, it is possible to more effectively stimulate the fascia and muscles, and thereby more effectively perform fascia release.

Further, between the adjacent uneven rows 21, linear grooves 24 extending in the moving direction of the fascia release jig 1 (longitudinal direction of the fascia release jig 1) and elongated rectangular grooves 24 in plan view are provided. With this configuration, the groove portion 24 can be used as a support line indicating the moving direction of the fascia release jig 1 .
