Abstract
A percussive therapy device includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor. A massage attachment is removably received on a distal end of the push rod assembly at a first location. The percussive therapy device also includes an attachment module associated with the housing of the percussive therapy device at a second location. The second location is different than the first location. The attachment module is configured to provide an active effect.
Claims12
A percussive therapy device comprising:
- a housing;
- an electrical source;
- a motor positioned in the housing;
- a switch for activating the motor;
- a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor, wherein a massage attachment is configured to be removably received on a distal end of the push rod assembly at a first location;
- and
- an attachment module configured to:
- associate with the housing of the percussive therapy device at a second location that is different from the first location,
- connect to an outer side the housing of the percussive therapy device at the second location at a same time the massage attachment is received on the distal end of the push rod assembly, and
- provide an active effect;
- wherein the attachment module is configured to be removable from the housing of the percussive therapy device;
- and
- the housing includes a first electrical connector, and wherein the attachment module includes a second electrical connector in electrical communication with the first electrical connector, wherein connection of the first and second electrical connectors provides electrical communication between the electrical source and the attachment module.
A percussive therapy device comprising:
- a housing;
- an electrical source;
