Therapeutic device and method

Abstract

A new and useful therapeutic device and method designed to receive the occipital condyle of a human skull and to engage the suboccipital area of a human skull in a manner that promotes one or more therapeutic modalities (e.g. muscle inhibition, occipital decompression, cranio-sacral release), while also accounting for different anatomies of the persons who use it is provided. The therapeutic device includes a base and a cushion that are configured such that the cushion can be selectively supported on the base in either of two configurations; a relatively high configuration and a relatively low configuration. The base and cushion are also configured such that in either the relatively high or low configurations, the base and cushion define a support for the occipital condyle of a human skull and engages the suboccipital area of a human skull in a manner that promotes one or more therapeutic modalities (e.g. muscle inhibition, occipital decompression, cranio-sacral release). In addition, the therapeutic device is designed to enable a patient to selectively change the configuration from one support configuration to the other, and that may enable a person to take the fullest advantage of the device during a therapy session.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes an improved cushion for use with a therapeutic device. The cushion can be adjusted into different positions to promote various treatment methods like muscle relaxation, occipital decompression, and cranio-sacral release. It also allows patients to easily switch between different levels of comfort while receiving treatments. Overall, this design offers greater flexibility and effectiveness for users who want to make the most out of their sessions with the therapeutic device.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed by this patent is creating a therapy tool that can accommodate various skull shapes while still achieving effective treatment results through its unique design features. Additionally, giving patients the option to customize their own device will provide greater flexibility and comfort during use.
