Description

Health appliances

The present invention relates to a health appliance. More specifically, it relates to a health device that can be used as a fascial scraper or a massage device.

Conventionally, as a health device, various vibration massage devices in which a vibration module is housed in a housing such as a cushion member are widely used.
Such a health device imparts a massage effect by being brought into close contact with the surface to be massaged such as the waist, neck, and feet of the human body and propagating the vibration generated by the vibration module to the human body. Due to the massage effect, symptoms such as stiffness, firmness, and pain can be alleviated or eliminated by partially loosening the muscles on the surface to be massaged.
In recent years, in order to fundamentally improve symptoms such as stiffness, firmness, and pain, posture, and body distortion, not only massage but also a method of adjusting the fascia to an appropriate state has attracted attention.

The fascia is an elastic membrane containing collagen and water as constituents, which wraps muscle fibers such as muscles and muscle groups and binds them to a partition. The fascia maintains the posture of the body, supports the movement of muscle fibers and transmits force, protects muscles, blood vessels, nerves, lymph vessels, etc., protects friction between muscle fibers, lubricates during muscle contraction, etc. It has the function of, and is spread all over the body.
When at least a part of the body is burdened by stress, injury, unbalanced posture / movement, etc., the movement and slippage of the fascia become worse, and kinks, atrophy, adhesions, etc. occur and the flexibility decreases. When an abnormality occurs in the fascia, blood vessels, nerves, lymph vessels, etc. are compressed, causing circulatory disorders, etc., and other muscles, etc. are also adversely affected, resulting in decreased performance (muscle strength, flexibility, exercise, daily life, etc.). , Muscle dysfunction, imbalance, stiffness, firmness, pain, etc. may occur.

In recent years, as a body care treatment aimed at improving overall health conditions such as performance, range of motion, metabolism, and self-conditioning, pressure and stimulation are applied to muscles and fascia, and kinks, atrophy, and adhesions of fascia are performed. Attention is being paid to improving fascial scrapers. Continuous fascial scraping will improve fascial movement, slippage, and flexibility to the proper state.
In particular, in the body care industry, sports industry, beauty industry, etc., you can easily and flexibly perform fascia scraper at your own pace, at your own pace, according to your physical condition and condition, and self-care your fascia. The need for appliances is increasing. In particular, among athletes and trainers, during training aimed at warming the body, preventing injuries, improving performance, etc., warming up before the match, training aimed at recovering from fatigue, and cooling down after the match. Attention has been paid to performing a myocardial scraper.
Until now, the myocardial scraper was mainly performed by a specialist, but recently, various instruments have been developed so that the myocardial scraper can be easily performed.

Patent Document 1 discloses a vibrating foam roller type health appliance. This health device is used for rehabilitation and care, relaxation, self-care and warm-up, post-training fatigue recovery, and is widely used among athletes. However, since the entire roller vibrates, it is difficult to efficiently transmit the vibration to the desired treatment site.

Patent Document 2 discloses a fascia release tool that includes a chip made of a thermoplastic elastomer and vibrates the chip. However, since the tip is cylindrical, it is difficult to effectively transmit vibration to an arbitrary treatment site.

Patent Document 3 discloses a portable electric percussive massage applicator. This is a percussive massage (percussion) performed by a piston moved by a reciprocating motion assembly, but it is difficult to efficiently transmit the vibration to an arbitrary treatment site because the vibration is also transmitted to the main body.

Patent Document 4 discloses a fascia release tool that can be held with one hand for treatment. However, the treatment is manual and may cause fatigue of the practitioner.

The body care methods of the present invention can be applied to various parts of the body, including, for example, skeletal muscle, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and connections between bone and any other connective tissue.

For example, the blade 5a having a convex central portion shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 is pressed against the sternum or the back, and the blade 5b having a concave central portion shown in FIG. 8 is a circle such as a leg or an arm. By aligning the curve and the circular curve of the recess and pressing them together, you can move them along the direction of the muscle fibers or move them in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the muscle fibers to perform massage or myocardial scraper. ..

The body care method of the present invention includes, for example, relaxation, physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care, trainer care, self-body care and the like.
Further, it can be intended for warm-up before training, cool-down after training, recovery from fatigue, muscle loosening, fascia scraper, and the like.
The body care method of the present invention can obtain effects such as improvement of range of motion, improvement of flexibility, improvement of blood flow, and recovery from fatigue by the vibration effect.
Further, in the body care method of the present invention, since the health appliance A is compact and has excellent cost performance, it can be performed without worrying about budget and space.

Body care was performed using the health device A of the present invention, and the fascia release effect was confirmed as follows.
The subjects were 5 adults with no history of orthopedic surgery on the trunk and lower limbs. The subjects each performed Calf Raise (“Caf” + “Raise”) up to the maximum number of times they could do it. Calf Raise is an exercise shown below.
(I) Stand in front of the wall and open both legs about shoulder width.
(Ii) Gently raise your heels while supporting your body with your hands lightly against the wall.
(Iii) When the heel is fully raised, slowly lower the heel to the floor thread.
(Iv) The above (ii) and (iii) are repeated.

Table 1 shows the details of the subject and the time required for the maximum number of Calf Raises that one can do (Calf Raise All Out time).

After Calf Raise, the calf of the right foot was treated with a myocardial scraper for 1 minute using the health device A of the present invention. In addition, the calf of the left foot was rested without any treatment.
After the treatment or rest, the feeling of fatigue felt by the person was quantified. The feeling of fatigue is quantified by NRS (Numeric Racing Scale), and the maximum imaginable feeling of fatigue is set to 10 and the state of no feeling of fatigue is set to 0, and the subject evaluates each of the left and right calves and obtains the average value. It was. The results are shown in Table 2.

In Table 2,
Right calf (NRS change value) = (NRS value after Calf Raise)-(NRS value after 1 minute treatment with myocardial scraper)
Right calf (NRS change rate) = (NRS change value) ÷ (NRS value after Calf Raise)
Left calf (NRS change value) = (NRS value after Calf Raise)-(NRS value after resting for 1 minute)
Left calf (NRS change rate) = (NRS change value) ÷ (NRS value after Calf Raise)
Is.

The following can be seen from Table 2.
When the myocardial scraper was treated for 1 minute using the health device A of the present invention, both the NRS change value and the NRS change rate were larger than those in the case where the myocardial scraper was not treated for 1 minute. It can be inferred that there is a tendency to improve calf (lower limb) fatigue after Raise.

Although the present invention has been described in detail above, various modifications can be made in the above configuration without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, all matters contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings should be construed as exemplary.
