Description

Air massage apparatus

The present invention relates to an air massage device, and more particularly, to the human body by sequentially injecting / discharging air pressure according to a mode set by a user in a plurality of air bags divided into contact with a part from the shoulder to the back and the hip of the human body. The air massage device that performs the air massage while alternately applying pressure and relaxation, and also has the heat function and the vibration function to activate the muscle movement along with the poultice effect to promote blood circulation, recover fatigue, and improve stamina. It is about.

In general, a long period of work in a constant posture, or sudden use of muscles or intense stress through vigorous exercise causes the muscles to become clumped together to cause muscle pain, and not only causes blood circulation problems, but also accumulates fatigue to continue this condition. In the end, the physical strength is lowered and the health is compromised.

As a method for relieving muscle pain, drug therapy using various types of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, physical therapy such as massage or acupressure, or magnetic therapy using magnets are used.

Among the treatment methods, massage therapy has recently been widely used as a representative method of physiotherapy for muscle pain, and various types of massage devices that can perform physiotherapy on necessary parts of the human body without the help of another person such as a physiotherapist. Is appearing.

An example of such a massage device is an air massage device that expands blood vessels through repetitive expansion / contraction of air pockets in response to changes in air pressure to promote blood circulation, activate metabolism, and increase the temperature of subcutaneous tissue deep in the skin.
