[0004]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the body of the health appliance according to the first aspect of the present invention is a round bar, and has elastic rubber or synthetic fiber cloth wound around its end and center. ,
At the positions between the rubbers or the cloths, small cylindrical protrusions made of wood or plastics are formed. The method of use is to put the sole of the foot on either the rubber of the main body, cloth, or a projection while sitting on a chair or the like, and rotate the main body back and forth to make a pot (acupoint) on the sole of the foot
It stimulates the body to recover from fatigue and exercise the lower limbs.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A health appliance 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The main body is a round bar made of wood or plastics and having a length of 500 mm and a diameter of 40 mm. Further, elastic rubber or cloth made of synthetic fiber or the like is wound around three positions 2 at the end and the center of the main body, and its length is 100 mm and thickness is 7 mm. Also,
At each of two positions 3 between each rubber or cloth (length 100 mm), four fine cylinders made of book or plastic are arranged at equal intervals on the horizontal line of each of the upper, lower, front and rear sides. A shaped protrusion (length 5 mm, diameter 8 mm) 4 is provided. Therefore, a total of 32 projections are provided on the main body.

Next, a method of using the health appliance will be described. First, sit on a chair etc., place the main body on the floor etc., put the sole of the foot on either rubber or cloth or a protrusion, and move both feet back and forth while applying light force to the feet By rotating the body, the lower limb is exercised, and the acupoints (acupoints) on the soles of the feet are stimulated to recover fatigue. As another method, the sole of one foot may be placed on a rubber or a cloth, and the sole of the other foot may be placed on a protrusion, and the method may be alternately performed. In addition, the strength of the stimulus to the sole of the foot is felt strongly when placed on a protrusion, and is felt lightly when placed on rubber or cloth, so the user selects the preferred one. be able to.
