Description

Fascia massager capable of rolling technique using massage balls {FASCIA MASSAGE DEVICE CAPABLE OF PERFORMING ROLFING MEHTOD THROUGH MASSAGE BALLS}

The present invention relates to a fascial massager capable of a rolling technique using massage balls, and more specifically, to adjust the angle at the front and the side between two massage balls, to adjust the adjacent distance between the massage balls, and to adjust the distance between the massage balls. Stimulates the skin at a certain angle in response to the direction of the straight force applied from the Y-shaped body and the straight body in which the massage ball is detachably combined, and massages the skin by rotating while in contact with the skin and lifting the skin. It is about a fascia massager capable of a rolling technique using a new type of massage ball that lifts the fascia and stimulates it three-dimensionally, but also twists and stimulates it and holds it so that it can return to its original position.

As a type of skin massage, there is a myofascial therapy machine. Myofascial therapy equipment is a device that combines high-output electrical stimulation (RF, LF, microcurrent, hot and cold, vibration waves, shock waves) necessary for fascia treatment and a connection of devices that provide three-dimensional stimulation at the same time.

The myofascial therapy device consists of a main body that can stimulate one or two or more types of combined electrical stimulation at the same time, and a stimulation device that can apply one or two or more high-output combined electrical stimulations at the same time. It operates and provides fascia treatment. There is a built-in program that can guide you.

The parts of the fascia therapy device require a main body, a program to coach and guide the fascia treatment, and a device that safely delivers combined high-output electrical stimulation and provides three-dimensional stimulation.

Currently, myofascial treatment includes massage by professional therapists (orthopedic, osteopathic, rehabilitation, etc.), physical therapists, rehabilitation therapists, exercise instructors, and masseuses using manual or electrical therapy.

As it has become known that fascia is the source of unexplained pain, which is common in modern people, professional treatment is needed, and various types of professional treatment in addition to orthopedics and neurosurgery are emerging.

Examples include exercise centers, rehabilitation centers, massage parlors, and correctional centers.

The myofascial therapy device can provide rehabilitation treatment for trauma patients, exercise treatment for paralysis and hemiplegia patients, and treatment for patients with pain due to physical imbalance (scoliosis, sciatica, chronic pain, etc.).

Hereinafter, fascia will be described. The fascial system is a three-dimensional continuum of loose and dense fibrous connective tissue containing soft collagen that makes up our body. It is a balloon-like spatial form that surrounds, intersects, and interpenetrates all organs, muscles, bones, and nerve fibers, giving the body a functional structure and providing an environment in which all body systems can operate in an integrated manner. Nerves, blood vessels, lymph, etc. pass through this space, but if the fascia system is not normal, the body sends pain signals. Treatment is performed to find the proper function of the deformed fascia through these pain signals. Adhesive fascia is removed and regeneration is promoted, shortened fascia is relaxed, and contracted fascia is stretched, and its function is restored by returning to its proper place through a process such as exercise.

A living environment that involves little movement and repetitive activities (sitting in a chair for long periods of time, using a cell phone or computer for long periods of time, etc.) is a major cause of fascial disease. Fascial diseases are being identified as the main cause of back pain, soft tissue disorders, muscle disorders, joint and shoulder lesions, and musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases for which the exact cause is not known, and the demand for treatment is increasing.

Fascial imbalance causes some discomfort at first, but when it causes severe pain, it is not easily treated through exercise or self-treatment if it has already affected the surrounding tissues (organs, muscles, bones, etc.), including the fascia.

Recently, in the field of rehabilitation physical therapy, especially in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, interest in the fascia, which causes pain, has increased explosively, rather than the areas that cause pain such as muscles, joints, and ligaments. And professional manpower is insufficient.

If there is professional equipment to easily treat fascial diseases, experts with knowledge of the human body can easily treat them.

It shortens the treatment time of professional medical doctors (orthopedics, osteopathy, rehabilitation, etc.), physical therapists, manual therapists, exercise instructors, and masseuses and enables easier and more efficient treatment.

However, professional equipment with an accurate understanding of fascia is rare. Therefore, manual therapy usually performed in hospitals includes shock waves, injection therapy, and osteopathy (chuna). However, such manual therapy is limited to partial treatment and is expensive.

In addition, users can use slings, rehabilitation therapy, balance therapy, and exercise therapy, but there are problems in that exercise alone takes a long time, and treatment is impossible in cases where the pain is severe or the patient lacks will.

Types of massage at massage shops include sports massage, Thai massage, meridian massage, and Swedish massage. However, there were problems with masseuses lacking specialized knowledge about the human body or diseases and requiring long treatment times.

In modern society, the environment that induces fascia damage is increasing, awareness of fascia treatment is increasing, and professional treatment that can be done quickly and easily is required.

Problems with myofascial treatment include repetitive trauma and stress on the therapist in manual therapy, high treatment costs in non-coverage treatment, problems with side effects occurring due to incorrect treatment as non-professional treatment, and problems in exercise therapy. Problems include a long treatment period and the inability to treat seriously injured patients.

The need for professional fascia treatment equipment that can save time and help with expertise is increasing. The demand for professional equipment is increasing.

Conventional fascia treatment devices do not have structures that provide pressure and lift the fascia layer necessary for fascia treatment. In addition, there was a problem that the structure of the injection molded product was unsuitable for combining high-output electrical stimulation rather than fine electrical stimulation.

High-output electrical stimulation is required for myofascial treatment. In particular, fascia requires a variety of electrical stimulation due to its diverse materials (RF, LF, microcurrent, hot and cold, electric, shock wave).

In the present invention, through the development of a program to help understand fascia treatment, it is a program that coaches fascia treatment and allows you to select the electrical stimulation for treatment according to the disease and location of the fascia (e.g. RF&LF + shock wave + intensity of cold treatment) and time, procedure method, etc.).

In order to treat fascia, three-dimensional treatment must be possible. We developed a fascial stimulation device that can safely deliver a variety of high-power electrical stimulation while replacing the therapist's hands during manual therapy. Through this, three-dimensional treatment is performed rather than the conventional two-dimensional treatment (three-dimensional: lifting the fascia).

The skin massager according to the present invention is a stimulation device consisting of a rolling structure and a three-dimensional impact structure.

According to the present invention, rehabilitation treatment for trauma patients, exercise treatment for paralysis and hemiplegia patients, treatment of pain patients due to physical imbalance, scoliosis, sciatica, chronic pain, etc. are possible.

The problem of increasing treatment time and treatment costs by conducting manual therapy and physical therapy separately has been improved.

In addition, it is possible to treat conditions (disc, neuralgia, arthritis, etc.) caused by various causes such as twisting, contraction, shortening, stretching, and compression of the fascia due to imbalance, and hardening of the fascia and muscles during treatment due to trauma. It improves problems that cause limitations in movement after treatment.

According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the lack of personnel with professional knowledge, the varying effects of treatment due to lack of professional knowledge, and side effects caused by incorrect manual treatment.

The shape of the fascia is like a spider's web, acting like a cushion between each tissue and interacting with each other by being connected by fibrous tissue. According to the present invention, the adhesion and twisting of the fascia is achieved by releasing or removing the adhered and twisted fascia. Promotes regeneration.

It is possible to combine the IASTM technique with manual therapy and shock wave therapy.

According to the present invention, combining IASTM and RF not only easily releases fascia but also helps regenerate fascia.

Planar shock wave therapy does not stimulate the treatment area three-dimensionally and causes pain.

When LF/microcurrent is combined with myofascial release, the muscles around the fascia are exercised and easily relaxed.

Injection treatment has side effects, but sending a micro-current similar to tissue causes rapid healing without side effects.

Improves shortening of the fascia and inflammation around the fascia. In other words, it promotes relaxation and regeneration of fascia along with promoting blood circulation. Myofascial release (manual therapy), injection therapy, and high frequency treatment are available.

According to the present invention, the angle at the front and the side between the two massage balls is adjusted, the adjacent distance between the massage balls is adjusted, and the massage balls are applied from the Y-shaped body and the straight body to which the massage balls are detachably coupled. Stimulation is applied to the skin at a certain angle in response to the direction of the straight force, and the skin can be massaged by rotating while in contact with the skin and lifting the skin.

Meanwhile, the number of massage balls may be two, three or more.

As described above, the optimal embodiment has been disclosed in the drawings and specifications. Although specific terms are used here, they are used only for the purpose of describing the present invention and are not used to limit the meaning or scope of the present invention described in the claims.
