Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to fitness equipment in general, and more particularly relates to stretching device for arm, shoulder, upper chest, upper back, and neck muscle groups. BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0002] Tension headache is attributed to muscle contraction exceeding the normal / physiological tonus, causing muscle tension and spasm. Tension-type headache was formerly described as muscle contraction headache. More than 90% of headaches are tension headaches, which become more frequent and severe with emotional and physical stress. Tension in the neck and shoulder area is the most common cause of headache. [0003] Neck and shoulder pains occur as a result of neck injury, arthritis, and muscle tension.

Benefits of technology

[0010] In accordance with the invention, a muscle toner is provided for the prevention and treatment of tension headache, neck and shoulder pains, and snoring. The simultaneous action of Muscle-toner on different muscle groups, affected by one or all of these ailing conditions, makes it a unique therapeutic tool.

Problems solved by technology

Tension in the neck and shoulder area is the most common cause of headache.

Although, hypertension or other systemic problems are found to be the causing factors but these conditions are not universal.

Muscle atrophy and degeneration, a prevalent age related phenomena, results in muscle weakness and decreased muscle tonus.

However, concerns about the side effects of the medications and the inconvenience of wearing a cumbersome apparatus at day or the night time limits their use.

Moreover, most existing treatment modalities are symptomatic, only masking the signs and symptoms of the morbid condition at best, and therefore they cannot be categorized as curative treatments.

Using the Muscle toner at early stage of tension headache breaks the chain reaction, which would otherwise result in excruciating headache and neck and shoulder pain.
