Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pediatric massage auxiliary equipment, specifically to a pediatric massage auxiliary equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Massage is a commonly used treatment method in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Long-term clinical trials have proven that massage has a good therapeutic effect on some chronic pain diseases. Moreover, unlike Western medicine, which only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, long-term massage treatment can effectively cure diseases. Children have weaker immune systems and are easily prone to respiratory diseases or allergies if not properly cared for. Therefore, they need to take care of their health to improve their immunity. Pediatric massage is one of the many forms of children's health care.

[0003] During massage, the patient needs to lie on a massage bed, and the operator massages specific acupoints on the child as needed. However, lying on the massage bed for a long time limits the child's field of vision, which can easily lead to emotional fluctuations, non-cooperation with the treatment, and affect the progress of the treatment. Therefore, we propose a pediatric massage auxiliary device. Utility Model Content
