Proceeding from this, the invention has set itself the task of further developing such mats for therapy of the spine in such a way that diseases and hazards which occur particularly frequently are counteracted in an optimal manner.
  • this object is achieved in that coil windings connected in parallel or in series or in a combination of series and parallel connection are arranged in the geometric bodies, the central axes of which are perpendicular to the mat and are identical to the axis of the geometric bodies, and in that the free ends of the series and / or parallel connection are connected to an alternating current source from a preferred frequency range of 2 to 20 oscillations per second.

  • the main idea of the invention is to have a low-frequency magnetic field concentrated on the stressed areas to support the massage effect. Alternating fields and electromagnetic waves can have a significant influence on the human body, as every person has become aware of through the connection of his well-being with the fluctuations in air electricity caused by the weather. The thermal effect of high-frequency currents is successfully used in medicine for therapeutic purposes.
  • infrared light which leads to superficial heating
  • electromagnetic alternating fields of low frequencies have significantly greater penetration depths and can thus act on the diseased or particularly stressed area.
  • the effect of low-frequency alternating magnetic fields can be explained by the fact that, in the case of diseases, the bioelectrical processes in the body are disturbed and take place too quickly or inhibited. These bioelectrical processes in the body can be influenced from the outside in order to return them to their normal values.

  • Eddy currents through which the electrical charges in the cell membranes change and local heating and consequently an improvement in the Trigger blood circulation. These currents continue to have a normalizing effect on the cell membranes and thus also on the target organs. It is observed that, depending on the frequency, blood vessels, for example, expand or contract. Magnetic field therapy based on these effects is known in clinical medicine for improving the healing of broken bones and diseases of blood vessels. Successes in the treatment of psychosomatic complaints were also statistically proven, rheumatic ailments could be significantly reduced. A frequency range of 2 to 20 per second has proven to be expedient for therapeutic purposes, the frequency depending on the particular clinical picture. The application time is recommended as at least one hour daily.
