MASSAGE TECHNIQUE AND APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTATION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61H9/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: massaging effect is ensured by continuous and pulsing air jet of frequency 1-10 Hz at temperature to 45°C flowing from a massage head under pressure. The air used for massage is preliminary purified. The continuous and pulsing jets are used simultaneously at air pressure 10 atm; all groups of jets are relocated simultaneously over the specified area with moving skin with adipose layer on a local site with a group of continuous jets and covering this area with the group of pulsing jets. Air pressure and distance of the head to skin are specified individually by visual estimation. The massage head comprising a case with two isolated spaces is used. Air outflow vents from each space are localised over the area of size and shape specified with considering an estimated coverage area. A massage air supply unit comprises an air dehumidification receiver, an air heating receiver and two coarse and fine purification filter blocks. The apparatus is supplied with air feed channels in continuous and pulsing modes, a pressure regulator.

EFFECT: improved safety and efficiency of air jet massage that ensures deep and complex treatment of the local area, eliminating skin exposure to malignant ambient microorganisms.
