Description

Corrective exercise massage device through detection of cervical vertebrae {Massage Device Of Posterior Cervical muscle}

The present invention relates to a massage device having a physiotherapy function for performing physical therapy on a cervical vertebra of the human body, and more particularly, by detecting the degree of curvature of the cervical vertebrae when a user lies down and using preset correction data for optimal massage. It relates to a corrective exercise massage device that detects cervical vertebrae to increase the massage effect by driving the program and improve the reliability and satisfaction of the product.

As more and more people work in the same posture for long periods of time due to lack of exercise, one of the diseases that occur frequently is back pain due to disc, shoulder pain due to excessive movement of shoulders and arms, and There are muscle pains (筋肉痛), etc. In particular, in the case of office workers or students who sit for a long time, the number of cases suffering from spinal diseases is rapidly increasing.

On the other hand, the spine is composed of a vertebral body, which is the central body, a bow-shaped vertebral arch protruding from the back upwards, and several projections.孔) is formed, and the spine is maintained in an incorrect posture for a long time, or spinal diseases occur due to muscle aging and strong external shocks. The cause can be found in lifestyle habits such as sitting, standing, or sleeping posture. In the case of children and adolescents in the growing stage, when there is an abnormality in the spine, the growth line is put under pressure and the secretion of growth hormone is not smooth. Failure to do so may lead to problems that impede growth promotion.

In particular, in recent years, as the usage time of smartphones increases regardless of gender and age, more and more people suffer from cervical vertebrae, which is a part between the skull and the thoracic vertebrae, which is a part of the spinal column.

That is, the cervical vertebrae are generally referred to as the cervical vertebrae among the vertebrae of our body, and are composed of 7 vertebrae segments, and the transverse process of each cervical vertebra has a hole through which the cervical artery passes, and veins and brachial plexus are located around it. , it can be said that it is an important part of the body that is connected to the torso below and the head above. These cervical vertebrae, like the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, are greatly affected by the posture of the person, and various musculoskeletal diseases caused by this Have. As an example, the same cervical disc herniation as other vertebral discs may occur, sprains occur in the ligaments supporting the cervical vertebrae from the back, and the cervical vertebrae muscles are also stiff due to various causes, compressing the nerves, resulting in a headache. Various musculoskeletal disorders such as neck pain and shoulder pain can occur.

On the other hand, the suboccipital muscle is a region composed of a total of 8 muscles on both sides of the four muscles located between one cervical vertebra and the occipital bone. ) is widely distributed and is adjacent to the vertebral artery, so it is a muscle closely related to brain and blood pressure disorders. The suboccipital muscle connects the occipital bone with the first and second cervical vertebrae and is closely related thereto. If stenosis occurs in the suboccipital triangle surrounding the vertebral artery among the suboccipital muscles, the nerve is compressed, the blood supply to the brain is disturbed, and the function of the muscle spindle may be reduced. In addition, when the suboccipital muscle is stiff, it can cause cervical headache in which the pain range extends forward from the occipital bone to the eye and forehead in one direction. Among the suboccipital muscles, the rectus small laryngeal muscle is an important muscle structure that holds the spinal cord to be located at the center. When expressed, it can create mechanical tension in the denticulate ligament and cause deformation of the dura mater surrounding the spinal nerve.

In general, for the treatment of back pain or shoulder pain, methods for treating or alleviating pathological conditions are widely practiced, such as physical therapy that strengthens muscles or stimulation of acupuncture points to facilitate blood circulation. In this case, it is desirable to correct the body shape correctly by relaxing the intervertebral disc, which was pressed by making the gap between the vertebrae wider.

In other words, acupressure or massage is a type of manual procedure that corrects the body's alterations to cure diseases and promote health by directly giving mechanical stimulation to the skin in a certain way using the hands.手技施術), promotes the circulation of blood or lymph by acupressure and massage, activates metabolism, increases tissue nutrition, excretes waste, and enhances resistance. This tactile stimulation (觸壓刺戟) stimulates nerves and acts as an analgesic, so it promotes the recovery of paralyzed nerves and has the effect of correcting the modulation of internal functions.

However, since most of these acupressure/massage treatments cannot be performed by the person receiving the treatment alone, there is a problem that the effect is not constant because it is carried out depending on the power of the person as well as the inconvenience of receiving the type of help. In order to improve these problems, various types of acupressure/massage devices that can receive acupressure/massage on their own have been developed and used in the prior art. However, in the case of a vibration massager, it is a method of repeatedly hitting (tapping) a part of the body, so the acupressure effect is low, and there is a disadvantage of causing secondary pain due to the blow. In order to do this, the acupressure tool has to be pressed with a certain force on the body part, so it is not only inconvenient to use, but also has a problem that it is difficult to use continuously because of the force.

In addition, in the case of a pneumatic massager, the pressure is repeatedly applied to a part of the body by injecting and discharging air into and out of the cuff intended to cover the body part, such as an arm, leg, or waist. It is difficult to expect acupressure effects such as stimulating the acupuncture points, but also has the disadvantage of being cumbersome to use because it has to be worn on the arm, leg, or waist of the body. Although there is a treatment device equipped with a belt-type cuff that is provided to expand downward to exert traction, it is also inconvenient to use because it must be worn on the neck or waist, and it is difficult to quickly respond to excessive pneumatic action, and sufficient traction effect can be obtained. There was a disadvantage that the treatment effect was low as there was no treatment.

In particular, as a prior art for improving the flow of cerebrospinal fluid by compressing the suboccipital muscle or its periphery while relaxing the cervical spine, a functional cervical pillow has been proposed through Patent Publication No. 10-1665115 (October 12, 2016). Specifically, it maintains the cervical vertebrae in a C-shape when lying down, and relieves the tension and pain of the neck muscles by applying acupressure on cervical vertebrae 1. There is described a technology related to a functional cervical pillow that allows It does not contain the function of relaxing the cervical vertebrae and exercising the cervical vertebrae muscles, but does not include a composition for compressing the fourth ventricle along with the suboccipital muscle, so it does not have a function to relax the cervical vertebrae and smooth the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. There is this.

As another prior art, Patent Publication No. 10-1077885 (October 31, 2011) relates to a myofascial relaxer for physical therapy, see. Specifically, the body is placed horizontally on the floor; The occipital bone acupressure part is formed protruding from one side of the body to support the occipital bone; The lower laryngeal support portion is formed to protrude higher than the laryngeal acupressure portion in the front position of the occipital bone acupressure portion of the main body to support the lower larynx; and an upper thoracic vertebrae acupressure part protruding from the position in front of the lower occipital support part of the main body so as not to push the main body while supporting the back neck, and to press the upper thoracic vertebrae. Although the technique has been described, there is a problem that the treatment effect cannot be expected because it is only a structure that simply presses the occipital fascia and its surroundings using a number of protrusions.
