Specification

[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to field of health care. More particularly, the present disclosure provides a health care system and device for cervical massage.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Present era is encouraging a life style which demands inactivity and longer sitting hours. This causes chronic health issues. Survey has reported that about 70 % of population is spending more than six hours a day while sitting and this sitting is deadly. These prolonged sitting hours results in sore spine, stiffness and pain. Long sitting lay pressure on disc and muscles of neck and back thus restrict blood flow and cause stiffness and pain. Poor blood flow is reason for many chronic health issues among which stiffness and pain in spine is very critical. Application of local vibration is very beneficial as it can boost velocity of blood cell and improves blood flow and provide relaxation to disc and muscles of neck and back.
[0004] There are various solutions that are existing to provide relief from pain in neck and back. These solutions are providing help either to correct posture while sitting for long hours or provide solutions. The existing solutions can include magnetic posture correction back support belt that provides posture correction and prevents back pain and major back issues using magnets. However, the belt is heavy and tiring to put for longer duration. Another existing solution can be a massage hoodie based on acupressure and relieves tensions in muscles by applying pressure on back. However, such hoodie can be costly and are not affordable. Others include cervical massager hands free massager with tapping massage on neck. However, massager attached to body like magnet can be inconvenient to use for long time and while working. Heating jackets can be used which are based on medical acupuncture therapy and includes heating pads to transmit heat energy. Though such heating jackets provide relief inpain but wearing them in summers is difficult and challenging. The existing solutions use high intensity unit to produce pressure at fixed acupressure points with vibration units that are fixed but not moving.
[0005] There is a need to overcome above mentioned problems of prior art by bringing solution that facilitates providing cervical massage with comfort similar to that of hands and fingers and stimulates soft tissue through fine gentle trembling movement with same effect as gentle massage with fingers and hands is given. Also, the solution is economical, light in weight and enables saving battery and power consumption.

[0087] Thus, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the diagrams, schematics, illustrations, and the like represent conceptual views or processes illustrating systems and methods embodying this invention. The functions of the various elements shown in the figures may be provided through the use of dedicated hardware as well as hardware capable of executing associated software. Similarly, any switches shown in the figures are conceptual only. Their function may be carried out through the operation of program logic, through dedicated logic, through the interaction of program control and dedicated logic, or even manually, the particular technique being selectable by the entity implementing this invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art further understand that the exemplary hardware, software, processes, methods, and/or operating systems described herein are for illustrative purposes and, thus, are not intended to be limited to any particular name.
[0088] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled to" is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other contact each other) and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.
[0089] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, ` components, or steps that are not expressly referenced.
[0090] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow.
