The user can see the parameters of each module of the shoulder physiotherapy device in real time on the terminal device and can set it on the terminal device. The user can select different preset recommended modes according to their own situation to obtain targeted different physical factor combinations and parameter settings. The combination and parameters of physiotherapy factors can also be customized according to personal preferences.

[0041] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment 1, Figure 2 As shown, the shoulder physiotherapy device further includes a fixing member 6, wherein the fixing member 6 is connected to the main body 1, and the main body 1 is fixed on the upper arm of a human body through the fixing member 6.

[0042] More specifically, the fixing member 6 includes a first fixing member 61 and a second fixing member 62. The first fixing member 61 is arranged at the upper part of the main body 1 to fix the shoulder so that the main body 1 will not slip from the shoulder. The second fixing member 62 is arranged at the lower part of the main body 1 to fix the human upper arm, so that the main body 1 can better fit the shoulder and is not easy to fall during use.

[0043] Furthermore, the first fixing member 61 and the second fixing member 62 may be straps or other parts capable of fixing. The lengths of the first fixing member 61 and the second fixing member 62 may also be adjusted by buckles, slots or other means to accommodate different groups of people.
