Multi-Layered Heat Therapy and Electrotherapy Back Pad
Inventor: John L. Woods
A multi-layered therapy back pad that stimulates the nerves and muscles of the user's back to reduce pain, soreness, and stiffness, while offering a comfortable and supportive design.
Outer layers of low-resilience polyurethane softer foam material sandwich an inner core of denser foam material.
Electrodes are positioned along the upper surface of the mat to apply a pulsating electric current to the user through direct skin contact for nerve and muscle stimulation and pain relief.
The upper surface design accommodates and conforms to the back geometry of a user for both support and comfortable resting.
External remote controller to adapt to the intensive therapy means, including the temperature of the heating element and the amplitude or frequency of the electrical stimulation pulses.
The heat therapy resistive heating element is embedded within the core of the pad and provides a means of transferring heat into the user's back for muscle tension and pain relief.
Can be used in the home or while traveling to treat back pain and soreness while the user rests against the pad in a supine position.
