Abstract
An apparatus for cryotherapy treatment of a user in a reclined position, including a housing structure having a base portion with a user support surface for supporting the user in a reclined position, and a first fluid storage reservoir, a first fluid bag disposed within the user support surface, and a first fluid pump in fluid communication with both the first fluid storage reservoir and the first fluid bag, wherein the first pump is configured to circulate fluid from the first fluid storage reservoir to the first fluid bag.
Claims20
An apparatus for cryotherapy treatment of a user in a reclined position, comprising:
- a housing structure having a base portion with a user support surface for supporting the user in a reclined position;
- a first liquid storage reservoir operative to hold a quantity of liquid at a first temperature;
- a second liquid storage reservoir operative to hold a quantity of the liquid at a second temperature greater than the first temperature;
- a plurality of liquid bags at the user support surface, the liquid bags being in selective fluid communication with the first liquid storage reservoir and the second liquid storage reservoir so that the liquid bags are each individually and alternatively fillable with liquid of the first temperature and liquid of the second temperature such that at least one of the liquid bags will contain liquid of the first temperature and at least one other of the liquid bags will simultaneously contain liquid of the second temperature.
An apparatus for cryotherapy treatment of a user in a reclined position, comprising:
- a housing structure having a base portion with a user support surface for supporting the user in a reclined position;
- a first liquid storage reservoir operative to hold a quantity of liquid at a first temperature of from 28° F. to 40° F.;
- a second liquid storage reservoir operative to hold a quantity of the liquid at a second temperature of from 90° F. and 120° F.;
- a first liquid pump in fluid communication with the first liquid storage reservoir;
- a second liquid pump in fluid communication with the second liquid storage reservoir;
- first, second, third, fourth, and fifth liquid bags in selective fluid communication with the first liquid storage reservoir and the second liquid storage reservoir so that the liquid bags are each individually and alternatively fillable by one of the first liquid pump and the second liquid pump with liquid of the first temperature and liquid of the second temperature such that at least one of the liquid bags will contain liquid of the first temperature and at least one other of the liquid bags will simultaneously contain liquid of the second temperature;
- and
- the plurality of liquid bags being respectively positioned to be adjacent a neck, upper back, lower back, hamstrings, and calves of the user when the user is on the user support surface in the reclined position.
