Portable Therapeutic Device Pelvic Floor Massage and Thermal Therapy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a portable, convenient, and cost-effective therapeutic device that can provide healing therapy to the lower back, pelvis, and coccyx, alleviating pain, enhancing circulation, and preventing blood clots, as traditional massage therapies are often impractical and expensive.
Innovation Solution
A portable therapeutic device featuring rotatable massaging balls connected to a heating and cooling system, powered by a rechargeable battery, designed to massage the pelvic floor and surrounding structures, with a supportive configuration for the pelvic frame, allowing for hands-free use and alleviation of pain and pressure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional massage therapy is used, then pain relief and circulation enhancement are achieved, but cost and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The device enables self-massage therapy, allowing users to perform pelvic floor and lower back massage independently without requiring a professional massage therapist. The automated rotation of massage balls and integrated heating/cooling functions provide therapeutic effects that users can administer to themselves at any time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical system of human massage therapists with an automated mechanical system consisting of motor-driven massage balls, programmable control circuits, and automated heating/cooling elements. This substitution eliminates the need for human operators while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness.
2Reliability
If traditional massage therapy is used, then pain relief and circulation enhancement are achieved, but service cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device uses a rechargeable battery pack instead of requiring continuous connection to electrical outlets, making it portable and suitable for use in various locations. The battery-powered design eliminates the need for expensive installation infrastructure and allows the device to be moved freely for home use, telecommuting, or travel.
3Ease of operation
If portable design is implemented, then convenience and mobility are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple therapeutic functions (massage, heating, cooling) into a single integrated device. The massage balls, thermal therapy elements, and control systems are merged into one unit that provides comprehensive pelvic floor and lower back therapy, reducing the need for multiple separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed to perform multiple functions: mechanical massage through rotating balls, thermal therapy through heating and cooling elements, and positional support through its contoured structure. This multi-functionality consolidates what would traditionally require separate devices or therapies into one universal tool.
