[0002] LOW FREQUENCY MASSAGER [0003]

[0001] The present invention relates to a low-frequency massager for exercising muscles by providing a low-frequency electric stimulus to the muscles, and in particular, it is possible to independently provide low frequency electric waves to the body contact electrodes, thereby locally or simultaneously stimulating specific body parts. The present invention relates to a low-frequency massager capable of easily deforming a shape of a pad body and at the same time maintaining a deformed state.

Recently, public interest in health has been increasing day by day, and a variety of devices for health promotion have been developed and widely spread to the general public.

In particular, a low frequency massager is widely used as a stimulator for a local part of a human body with a low frequency current generated from a low frequency generator. The low frequency of electricity through the skin through the human body through the muscles to direct exercise to increase the basic metabolism, and direct stimulation of fat cells to reduce the number of cells can reduce the size.

In addition, by promoting blood circulation, it can increase energy consumption and stimulate the skin by stimulating the skin and the colon, thereby removing constipation and activating the intestinal tract and treating constipation. In addition, the low frequency is similar to the human body current flowing in the human body, so it is easy to penetrate the human body and is suitable for stimulating the nerve and muscles. It stimulates the muscles to increase the activity and increase blood movement and blood circulation, Pain, and fatigue.

Among the low frequency massagers, the EMS System (Electrical Muscle Stimulation System) is a low frequency massage that exercises muscles through low frequency electrical stimulation. A low-frequency massager for muscular exercise, which is conventionally provided in the form of a belt, has recently been provided with a form that can easily be attached to abdomen, forearm, thigh, A low frequency massager for muscular exercise uses a conductive electrode coated on a pad body made of elastic and flexible rubber so as to increase the degree of contact with the body despite the bending of the body.

However, the pad body can be freely deformed according to the bending of the body due to the elasticity and flexibility of the rubber, but the shape of the pad can not be maintained as it is.

Further, there is a problem that the muscles of a specific part of the body can not be actuated by electric stimulation in detail.
