Body therapy device
The body therapy device includes a thoracic pad having a top edge and a rear surface with a base having a bottom edge, a front angled surfaced and a rear surface. A spherical member is attached to the angled front surface of the base and includes a hard inner core therein. A pump, with active and passive elements, is provided to enable the user to adjust the hardness of ball portion of the device for customized therapy to a head and neck region. As a result, the device of the present invention is effective for physical therapy and treatment of a wide range of ailments and conditions.
1. A body therapy device, comprising:
a thoracic pad having a top edge, thoracic spine sulci, and thoracic paraspinal muscle elevations; and a rear surface;
an angled base having a front angled surface and a bottom edge;
a spherical member attached to the front angled surface of the base to provide an approximate 45 degree angled contact point relative to the ground;
whereby therapy is deliverable to head, neck and mid back regions of a user.
2. The body therapy device of claim 1 , further comprising:
an active cell portion residing in the base;
a passive cell portion residing in the spherical member and fluidly interconnected to the active cell portion;
a valve pump fluidly interconnected to the passive cell portion to initially fill the passive cell with media therein to deliver varying degrees of resistance to the spherical member.
3. The body therapy device of claim 2 , wherein the spherical member is fluidly connected to a continuance valve that permits air flow between the passive cell portion and the active cell portion.
4. The body therapy device of claim 1 , wherein the spherical member defines an occipital concavity.
5. The body therapy device of claim 4 , wherein the occipital concavity is angled approximately 45 degrees relative to ground.
6. The body therapy device of claim 1 , wherein the top edge of the thoracic pad and the bottom edge of the base are connected to each other.
7. A body therapy device, comprising:
a thoracic pad having a top edge, thoracic spine sulci, and thoracic paraspinal muscle elevations; and a rear surface;
an angled base having a front angled surface and a bottom edge;
a spherical member attached to the front angled surface of the base to provide an approximate 45 degree angled contact point relative to the ground; the spherical member being fluidly connected to a continuance valve that permits air flow between the passive cell portion and the active cell portion;
an active cell portion residing in the base;
a passive cell portion residing in the spherical member and fluidly interconnected to the active cell portion;
a valve pump fluidly interconnected to the passive cell portion to initially fill the passive cell with media therein to deliver varying degrees of resistance to the spherical member;
whereby therapy is deliverable to head, neck and mid back regions of a user.
