Description

Neck exercise equipment {APPARATUS FOR NECK EXERCISING}

The present invention relates to a neck exercise device, and more particularly, to a neck exercise device that can be used to stretch and strengthen the neck using a resistance while anyone can easily use.

In general, when sitting in a chair, playing a computer, driving, or studying, the eyes are often concentrated in one place, so the neck is hardly moved, and the ligaments and muscles supporting and fixing the neck are stiffened. This causes difficulty in blood circulation and causes pain.

In addition, when working in a chair, the head is often pushed forward. At this time, the ligaments and muscles at the back of the cervical spine are supported, as well as the shoulder and back muscles, so that the head is not leaned forward. If the tension continues for a long time, the muscles become stiff and cause disorders of blood purification, and the neck of the body becomes weak and loses its elasticity, and even a small shock causes neck diseases such as neck discs.

Therefore, it is reported that stretching and strengthening exercise to release fatigue accumulated in the neck as an exercise for neck health is good for the prevention of neck disease.

For example, the most commonly used neck exercise is a flexible exercise, such as standing up or sitting in a chair, straightening the waist, depressing the neck, tilting the head in one direction, slowly turning it in the opposite direction, and turning it again the number of times. It is becoming.

For example, isometric exercises in the form of ligaments and muscles that support and fix the neck. Strength in the neck and the neck muscles to relax and repeat the tension will be strengthened.

However, the isometric exercise for reinforcing the neck should be carried out sequentially in the four directions of the head, ie front and back and left and right sides, so that the neck reinforcement is balanced. There are a lot of inconveniences and hassles in performing posture as well as exercise, and it is more difficult to exercise with the same force in all four directions, and it is not easy because the force must be applied to the hands and neck at the same time.

In particular, the ligaments and muscles that support and fix the neck should be strengthened to balance the left and right around the cervical spine so that the crooked cervical spine can be set up correctly.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, such as to make it easy for anyone to exercise, and also to exercise the neck to stretch and strengthen the neck using resistance for the health of the neck of the body part The purpose is to provide a mechanism.

The present invention not only enables the stretching or strengthening of the neck area, but also supports and fixes the cervical vertebrae by allowing the forehead, the back of the head, and the left and right sides of the head to exercise with the same force in all four directions. It is to provide a neck exercise machine that enables the strengthening exercise of right and left balance for ligaments and muscles, and expects the corrective effect of correcting the crooked cervical spine.
