Abstract
The present invention discloses an apparatus for applying pressure to a head and/or a neck of a user. The apparatus includes an arcuate substrate for receiving a portion of the head and/or the neck of the user. A node is affixed to the substrate for engaging the user and applying a focalized pressure thereupon. A flexible member is attached to the substrate for securing the apparatus to the user and for applying tension to the substrate for generating the focalized pressure. A method for relief is disclosed for application of a pair of nodes to the suboccipital area of the user.
Claims20
An apparatus for applying pressure to a suboccipital area of a user comprising:
- a semi-rigid arcuate substrate sized to receive a portion of the suboccipital area of the user at least partially therein;
- at least one node affixed to the substrate for engaging the portion of the suboccipital area of the user for applying a focalized pressure thereto;
- and
- a flexible member attached to the substrate for securing the apparatus to the head or neck of the user and for applying tension to the substrate thereby providing the focalized pressure of the at least one node.
An apparatus for applying pressure to a head or a neck of a user comprising:
- a semi-rigid arcuate substrate sized to receive a portion of the head or the neck of the user at least partially therein such that the portion of the head or neck of the user intersects a chord between a first end and a second end of the substrate;
- at least one node affixed to the substrate for engaging the portion of the head or the neck of the user for applying a focalized pressure thereto;
- and
- a flexible member attached to the substrate for securing the apparatus to the head or neck of the user and for applying tension to the substrate thereby providing the focalized of the at least one node.
A method for treating migraine or tension headaches comprising:
- providing an apparatus having a pair of nodes selectively aligned with pressure points of a user's suboccipital area;
- affixing a flexible member to the head of the user for maintaining engagement of the nodes with the user's suboccipital area;
- and
- tensioning the flexible member for applying a focalized pressure from the nodes to the pressure points.
