Description

Massage device with physical therapy

The present invention relates to a massage device having a physiotherapeutic function for performing physiotherapy for the cervical spine of the human body, and more particularly, provided with a shape that is in close contact with the curvature of the nape of the back of the human body while acupressure action by air pressure. Massage device with physiotherapy function to obtain therapeutic effect through muscle relaxation action by stretching by rotating the back of the head to the left and right around the neck of the chiropractic element and the nape of the neck to perform the pressure It is about.

In recent years, one of the most frequently occurring diseases in modern people is low back pain due to a disc and shoulder pain or muscle pain due to excessive movement of shoulders and arms. Shoulder pain and muscle pain are common in people who work in the same posture for long periods of time, and are becoming more serious as modern people lack exercise and sit and spend more time. In particular, office workers or students who sit for long periods of time are suffering from spinal diseases, which are rapidly increasing, and the best way to treat or prevent such spinal diseases is to reinforce the muscles around the disc and treat them with natural healing power. will be.

On the other hand, the vertebrae are composed of the vertebral body, which is the central body, the arch of the bowel, and various protrusions, which emerge from the rear, and is surrounded by the vertebrae and the vertebrae. Viii) is formed. The spine is caused by a bad posture for a long time or due to aging of the muscles and strong shock from the outside, most of the spine disease is abnormal force applied to the spine, that is, sitting or standing posture Or, it may be found in the lifestyle, such as sleeping posture, and in children and adolescents in the growth phase, when an abnormality occurs in the spine, the growth line may be pressed, and growth hormone secretion may not be smooth, thereby inhibiting growth. It can also lead to.

Conventional low back pain or shoulder pain treatment is widely used to cure or alleviate a pathological condition by physiotherapy to strengthen muscles or by stimulating menstrual blood to facilitate blood circulation. It is preferable to correct the body shape by the relaxation action by relaxing the pressed intervertebral disc so that the space between the vertebrae opens. In other words, acupressure or massage (massage) is a kind of manual procedure that treats illness and promotes health by correcting the body's modulation by causing mechanical reaction by directly applying the mechanical stimulus to the skin in a certain way. As a hand-held technique, acupressure and massage promote blood and lymph circulation, stimulate metabolism, increase the nutrition of tissues, excrete waste, and increase resistance. This stimulating stimulus stimulates nerves to work painfully, thus facilitating the recovery of paralyzed nerves and correcting the modulation of visceral function.

However, most of such acupressure massage is not possible to be treated alone because the person who is treated is not only troublesome to receive the type of help, but the effect is not constant by being carried out depending on the strength of the person. In order to improve these problems, conventionally, various types of acupressure massagers that can receive acupressure and massage by themselves have been developed, and a vibration massager for vibrating acupressure bulbs using a driving source, and a pneumatic massager using air pressure are mainstream. .

The vibration massager vibrates the acupressure ball by using a driving source such as a vibration motor or a solenoid, and the vibration pressure of the vibration type is a method of repeatedly hitting a part of the body, thereby lowering the effect of acupressure as well as hitting. Secondary pain caused by the problem, and also to properly deliver the vibration of the acupressure bulb to the body must press the acupressure sphere with a certain force, so that not only the inconvenience in use, but also difficult to use the problem is difficult to use continuously There was this.

The pneumatic massager is a method in which the air pressure is repeatedly applied to the cuff configured to surround the user's body portion of the compressed air generated by the pump, such a pneumatic massager wraps the body part such as the arm, leg or waist of the body By injecting and discharging air into the cuff, the pressure is repeatedly applied to a part of the body, and it is difficult to expect the acupressure effect such as stimulating menstrual blood because it merely rubs a part of the body. In addition, the body has to be worn because it has to be worn on the arm or leg or waist. Among these pneumatic massagers, there is a treatment device having a cuff in the form of a belt which is provided to expand and move up and down by the action of pneumatic pressure, but this is also inconvenient to use because it must be worn on the neck or waist. Not only was it difficult to cope quickly, but there was a disadvantage in that the therapeutic effect was low as a sufficient traction effect could not be obtained. On the other hand, the prior art has been proposed spinal correction exercise device disclosed in the Republic of Korea Patent No. 0711104, the chiropractic exercise device is a user can lie down and exercise the lower limbs, bed that the user can lie down, A pelvis belt is provided to fix the waist of the user. These spine exercise equipments allow the user to lap the waist with a pelvic belt and perform repeated exercises lying on the bed to repeatedly relax / recover the cervical and lumbar regions of the human body and to strengthen the support muscles around the spine, thereby correcting and treating the spine. Will be obtained.

However, the conventional chiropractic exercise equipment has a problem that it is inconvenient to use, and occupies a large installation area due to its bulky and complex configuration, which is not suitable for use in a general home. In addition, the chiropractic exercise device according to the prior art is most commonly proposed in the form suitable for the lumbar spine, a bone structure that forms the waist portion, which is the part between the thoracic and sacral bones to form the top of the spine to form the head and spine It is necessary to develop a physical therapy exercise device for the cervical spine located between.

The present invention was created in order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the object of the present invention is provided in a shape that is in close contact along the curvature of the cervical spine constituting the spine while the traction force for the acupressure element and the cervical spine portion to perform acupressure action Massage device with physiotherapy function to induce relaxation effect on the cervical intervertebral disc and surrounding muscles through stretching element that rotates left and right by stretching the cervical spine to the left and right. To provide.
