  • Publication number: 20240130927
    Abstract: A percussive massage device includes a housing and a shaft configured to reciprocate linearly along a reciprocation axis. The shaft includes a distal end configured to electrically connect to a therapeutic attachment and a proximal end opposite the distal end. The percussive massage device includes a bracket that is immovable relative to the housing. The percussive massage device includes an electronics assembly including a controller located on an opposite side of the bracket from the shaft. The percussive massage device includes a coil spring extending from the bracket to the proximal end of the shaft and a cable that provides an electrical connection between the shaft and the controller.

  • Patent number: 11957638
    Abstract: A suction assembly is described. The suction assembly includes a therapy unit with a body that can apply a supplemental therapy to a skin surface. The suction assembly also includes a cup that can be removably connected to the therapy unit and that can interface with a skin surface to define a chamber within the cup. A pump of the therapy unit can reduce a pressure within the chamber to draw the skin surface into the chamber in a cupping therapy. In response to the skin surface being drawn into the chamber, the body can move in a longitudinal direction to maintain contact with the skin surface. A wall of the cup is translucent and the suction assembly is dimensioned to provide a user with a view into the chamber through the wall of the cup that is substantially unobstructed by the housing.

  • Publication number: 20230398324
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are method, system, and computer-readable medium aspects for altering a user mind-body state through external stimuli. An aspect begins by onboarding a user through receipt of at least one data item. The aspect continues by receiving a mind-body state goal from the user and capturing the user's current mind-body state. The aspect then provides external stimuli to the user based on the at least one data item, the mind-body state goal, and the current mind-body state. The aspect captures a new mind-body state of the user after the external stimuli has been provided, and determines a similarity between the mind-body state goal and the new mind-body state. Based on the similarity, the aspect concludes by recommending further external stimuli to the user. In some aspects, the external stimuli corresponds to a category that is a predetermined combination of audio protocols, physical protocols, and behavioral cues.
