In this case, when the surface fasteners 15 on one side of the manipulative block main body as a pair are male and the female manipulators are arranged on the side of the other side, the male and female double-sided fasteners are provided. And the surface fastener provided on the hypotenuse surface 1A uses the same male or female fastener.

The manipulating block main body 1 is provided with a finger catch piece 17 for handling, for example, allowing the manipulating block main body 1 inserted into the lower part of the human body lying on the back as described above to be easily pulled out. It is provided on the surface 1E serving as a vertical piece.

The manipulating block auxiliary body 2 has a triangular prism shape having a right-angle cross section or an isosceles triangular cross section in the same manner as the manipulating block body, and has a length smaller than that of the manipulating block body, for example, the length of two sides of an isosceles triangular prism shape. 12-15c
m, isosceles triangular prism shaped base 5-10cm, width 8
It should have a size suitable for a manipulative treatment of up to 10 cm.
A hard foamed plastic made of the same material as the core of the manipulating block body is used as the core 21, and a sponge plate-shaped cushioning material 22 made of the soft foamed plastic is provided on one side 2 </ b> A of the isosceles triangular prism shape.
And the outer surface thereof is covered with a woven fabric, a nonwoven fabric, or another sheet-like material 23 to be integrated.

A male hook-and-loop fastener 2 is provided on the outer surface of one side 2A of the isosceles triangular prism shape of the manipulating block auxiliary body 2.
4 and 25 are respectively attached by sticking, bonding, etc., so that they can be engaged with the female surface fastener 16 arranged on the oblique side surface of the manipulating block main body, and one of the manipulating surfaces is provided on the side surface of the triangular prism shape. A female hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the block auxiliary body, and a male hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the other manipulating block auxiliary body, so that they can be engaged with each other.

A method of performing a manipulative treatment using a manipulative block constructed as described above and using a set of a total of four manipulative block bodies and a manipulative block auxiliary body as shown in FIG. 1 will be described below. I do. If the pelvis is displaced (iliac displacement), the following symptoms are observed. Left or right upper back of pelvis injured, navel not in middle of body (belly), shoulders at different heights, sitting naturally, crossing legs, leaning against wall immediately while standing As shown in FIG. 2, only two pairs of manipulative block bodies 1 and 1 are used to correct a pelvic displacement accompanied by such a symptom. The patient (the patient) is relaxed on his back and lying down,
The tip of the hip bone of the patient's shorter leg (the part of the hip bone that first falls down while gently pressing down on the flank with a finger) comes to the middle of the manipulative block main body 1 so that the tip is inside the body. Insert it into the lower part of the body from the side just to get it right.

Next, the other manipulating block body 1 is
Insert the lower leg ischial obliquely upward at an angle of about 45 degrees from below the ischial bone so that the tip is close to the middle of the body. This state is shown in FIG. After inserting the two manipulating block bodies 1 and 1 in this manner, the patient (the subject) rests in a relaxed state for a predetermined time, and then desirably removes the manipulating block body by a third party, and further, as it is. The user stands still in a relaxed state for a predetermined time in the same manner as when the manipulating block body is inserted. This corrects the usual pelvic displacement.

The symptoms of stiff neck and stiff neck caused by headache, autonomic dysfunction, nerve fatigue and the like occur as follows. That is, between the occipital bone and the cervical vertebra No. 1 and the cervical vertebra No. 2, there are nerves that greatly affect the ears, eyes, nose, etc.
When the space between this occipital bone and cervical vertebra No. 1 and cervical vertebra no.
The trapezius muscle, the largest muscle on the back, is tense and stiff,
Stiff neck. Therefore, the treatment may be performed by widening the space between the narrowed occipital bone and the first and second cervical vertebrae. Thus, for the treatment of stiff neck and stiff neck, as shown in FIG. 3, the manipulating block main body 1 and the manipulating block auxiliary body 2 are used in combination. As shown in the figure, the manipulating block auxiliary body 2 is arranged on the inclined surface of the manipulating block main body 1 with the surface provided with the hook-and-loop fastener facing downward and the thick side 2C facing up. The block auxiliary body is placed in an oblique direction.
2 is fastened by a hook-and-loop fastener. This is applied like a pillow so that the corner of the small manipulative block auxiliary body 2 comes into contact between the occipital bone of the patient lying on his back and the cervical vertebra No. 1.

Next, the patient relaxes in a completely relaxed state with the whole body relaxed, and after a while, the patient feels better. Then, when three or four minutes have passed, the manipulative block is removed. This completes the treatment for stiff neck and stiff neck.

For treatment when the lumbar vertebrae 4 becomes distorted due to displacement or the like, the manipulative block main body 1 and the manipulative block auxiliary body 2 are used in combination as shown in FIG.
That is, the manipulating block auxiliary body 2 is placed parallel to the manipulating block main body 1 with the surface provided with the hook-and-loop fastener on the slope and the thick side 2C facing up. The manipulating blocks 1 and 2 are engaged with a hook-and-loop fastener. This is inserted into the waist of the patient who lay down. In this case, the manipulative block combined with the above-mentioned method slowly moves the pelvis around the upper part of the front of the bad pelvis.
Lift up around the pelvis until it rotates about 5 degrees and insert it. Then, the state is maintained for a predetermined time, for example, about 90 seconds. After that, the manipulating block is removed.

It is known that a large load is applied to the knee when climbing up and down stairs, hills and the like. An average of 50 degrees when climbing the stairs and an average of 65 degrees when descending, the knees bend and stretch, and a load of about seven times their weight is applied. If you feel pain in your knees when going up or down the stairs, it is due to overuse of your knees in sports or, conversely, weakness of the muscles supporting the knees due to lack of exercise or aging. It is possible to relieve symptoms as follows. Fig.5 (A) for treatment when the knee hurts when going down the stairs
As shown in the figure, the manipulating block main body 1 and the manipulating block auxiliary body 2 are used in combination. That is, the manipulating block auxiliary body 2 is placed in parallel with the surface provided with the hook-and-loop fastener on the slope of the manipulating block main body 1 facing downward and the thick side facing down. Numerals 1 and 2 are fixed by hook-and-loop fasteners, and the bottom surface of the lower body-setting block main body and the upper surface of the upper body-setting block auxiliary body are parallel planes as shown in the drawing, or are substantially parallel planes and parallel planes. And a combination suitable for knee manipulation. One of the manipulative blocks combined in this way is placed just behind the knee (patella) of the bad foot and one at the back of the ankle, and the patient is relaxed by placing the foot on this. Sleep.
Then, in this state, the upper part of the tibia just below the knee joint is about 2 kg.
Hold the ankle inward while holding it with a moderate pressure and hold it for about 90 seconds in a locked state (a state where it is painful if it is bent further and cannot be bent). This state is shown in FIGS. Thereafter, the block is removed and the correction is completed.

Conversely, for the treatment when the knee is hurt when climbing a stair, a slope, etc., the combination of the manipulative blocks is the same as the treatment when the knee is hurt when descending a stair, a slope, etc. That is, as shown in FIG. 5A, the manipulating block main body 1 and the manipulating block auxiliary body 2 are used in combination. That is, the manipulating block auxiliary body 2 is placed in parallel with the surface provided with the hook-and-loop fastener on the slope of the manipulating block main body 1 facing downward and the thick side facing down. Reference numerals 1 and 2 are fixed by hook-and-loop fasteners. The manipulative blocks combined in this manner are installed as shown in FIG. The setting position of the manipulative block is different from the case where the knee is hurt when descending the stairs, the slope or the like. That is, one manipulative block is on the back side just below the patella (knee kid)
Place the other manipulative block under the ankle, press the part immediately above the patella with a force of about 2 kg, simultaneously bend the ankle inward, keep it locked for about 90 seconds, and then stand still for about 90 seconds This is the end of the orthodontic treatment.

Further, the manipulative block can be used not only as a manipulative treatment but also as an auxiliary chair when sitting straight. Also in this case, as in the case of treatment for knee pain when climbing up and down stairs and hills, the surface provided with the hook-and-loop fastener on the slope of the manipulative block body 1 as shown in FIG. Moreover, the manipulating block auxiliary body 2 is placed in parallel so that the thick side is on the lower side, and is engaged with and combined with a hook-and-loop fastener. As a result, the upper surface of the manipulating block auxiliary body becomes a flat surface, but the height is set to suit the preference of the seated person.

It can also be used as a pillow for sleeping around
In this case, it is necessary not to put a burden on the neck, that is, the cervical vertebra, as shown in FIG. In this case, it is combined in the same way as when it is used as an auxiliary chair when sitting straight.
