Description

The present invention relates to a compression massage system that coordinates the respiratory and circulatory lymphatic transport promoting mechanisms.

Conventionally, a compression massager using air pressure has been used as a means for treating lymphedema, and treatment has been performed to promote lymphatic transport by intermittently compressing the skin to support improvement of edema. ..
On the other hand, compression-type massage was partially performed even in healthy people for the purpose of relieving swelling of the legs and relieving fatigue of the legs, but the main purpose of general massage in healthy people is muscles. Since it was recovery from fatigue and cosmetology, the emphasis was placed on promoting peripheral circulation and improving metabolism, and the method of promoting lymphatic transport and its action and effect were not necessarily thoroughly studied in a wide range. It wasn't what I was doing.
However, it became clear that stagnation of lymphatic transport is involved in the hypertrophy of adipocytes that causes loosening of the skin, and that there is a correlation between the amount of visceral fat and the degree of fatty liver, and the improvement of lymphatic transport is achieved. Has become clear that can be a useful means of maintaining body shape and health.

On the other hand, lymph transport includes not only the automatic ability of the lymphatic vessels themselves, but also the passive flow caused by external pressure applied to the body surface and the movement of muscles, as well as the lymph poured into the venous horn. It has long been known that periodic pressure fluctuations in the thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity caused by breathing promote the return of venous blood to the heart and the lymphatic transport from the abdominal lymphatic trunk to the thoracic duct. It was a physiological phenomenon that has been performed. However, for the purpose of maintaining body shape and health, or beauty, a massage method that actively utilizes respiratory exercise and a simple device that enables it have not been proposed in a massage that promotes lymphatic transport.
On the other hand, it is known that physiological abdominal breathing has beneficial effects on health such as activation of parasympathetic nervous system and promotion of intestinal motility. It was widely introduced.
Under these circumstances, various automatic sphygmomanometers equipped with a mansiette, an air pump, a solenoid valve, a CPU, etc. have become common, and are used as a reference for the development of a lymphatic compression massage system that performs intermittent compression stimulation synchronized with the respiratory phase. It became easy to do.

The present invention is beneficial to beauty and health by utilizing abdominal breathing, which has a beneficial effect on health, which causes periodic pressure fluctuations in the chest cavity and abdominal cavity, for lymphatic massage of the skin for the purpose of beauty. The purpose is to develop a lymphatic massage system for healthy skin. The subject is the development of a compression-type massage system that promotes lymphatic transport of the skin including subcutaneous adipose tissue by performing low-pressure compression by mansiette to the massage part located proximal to the body cavity.

The present invention uses abdominal breathing, which promotes venous blood and lymphatic perfusion in the physiological relationship between respiration and circulation, for the purpose of health and beauty, and intermittent and low-pressure compression on the body surface. As a means, in abdominal breathing, in the inhalation phase in which the diaphragm contracts and lowers, the intrathoracic pressure decreases to become the hypotensive phase, and the intraperitoneal pressure increases to become the pressurizing phase.
On the other hand, in the exhalation phase in which the diaphragm relaxes and repositions upward, the thoracic cavity is pressurized to become the pressor phase, and the abdominal cavity is depressurized to become the hypotensive phase.
In this way, since the reciprocal pressure fluctuations caused by respiration are repeated in the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity, the lymph nodes in the upper body are transported into the thoracic cavity by the intrathoracic pressure reduction and the intra-abdominal pressure pressure generated in the exhalation phase. Is promoted, while lymphatic transport into the abdominal cavity via the inguinal lymph nodes of the lower body is suppressed.
Conversely, intrathoracic and intraperitoneal hypotension during the expiratory phase suppresses the transport of upper body lymph into the thoracic cavity, while lymph entering the abdominal cavity via the inguinal lymph nodes of the lower body. Transportation is facilitated.
Therefore, in order to utilize the pressure fluctuation in the body cavity caused by respiratory movement and promote lymphatic transport of the skin by pressure due to low pressure on the body surface, in other words, depending on whether the body cavity proximal to the massaged part is the chest cavity or the abdominal cavity. Depending on whether the massage part is the upper body or the lower body, the effective timing of applying pressure by Mansiette differs, and in the inhalation phase, the abdomen is proximal to the thoracic cavity, and in the exhalation phase, the abdominal cavity is proximal to the abdominal cavity. Applying compression to the buttocks increases the pressure upstream as the pressure downstream of the lymphatic transport pathway decreases, increasing the pressure gradient between the massaged skin and the body cavity proximal to it. Therefore, it is effective in promoting lymphatic transport of the massaged skin.
On the other hand, in order to promote lymphatic transport of the massaged skin by utilizing the pumping action, the lymphatic vessels must be filled with lymph to be delivered to the lymphatic vessels. When the pressure on the lymphatic vessels is stopped and the outer wall of the empty and flattened lymphatic vessels is pulled by the surrounding anchor ring filaments to restore volume and create negative pressure in the vessels, lymphatic vessels from surrounding tissues and peripherals are released. It is necessary to provide a refill time for the lymph to flow into the duct and be refilled with lymph.
Therefore, in the present invention, the pressure on the lower body proximal to the abdominal cavity in the inspiratory phase and the upper body proximal to the thoracic cavity in the expiratory phase is released to secure the required lymphatic refill time. is there.
Therefore, in the present invention, it is necessary to discriminate the respiratory phase in abdominal breathing, and the discrimination is performed by attaching an elastic stretch sensor to the abdomen and continuously detecting an increase or decrease in the abdominal circumference to increase the abdominal position. The CPU is used to determine that the respiratory phase in which is started is the transitional phase to the inspiratory phase, and the respiratory phase in which the decrease in abdominal circumference is initiated is the transitional phase to the expiratory phase. It is used as a means for determining the timing to start.

In the present invention, when a stretchable abdominal circumference measurement sensor and abdominal mansiet are attached to the abdomen and voluntarily perform abdominal breathing, the mansiet pressure of the massaged portion corresponding to the increase or decrease in the abdominal circumference Since the person to be massaged can sense the change in increase / decrease, it is easy for the person to recognize the change in the respiratory phase of abdominal breathing.
This facilitates the acquisition of abdominal breathing and can be used as a trainer for abdominal breathing. In addition, it is possible to actually perform abdominal breathing and facilitate the use of the physiological functions of abdominal breathing. effective.

In the present invention, since abdominal breathing is performed voluntarily, the respiratory rate generally decreases, while the tidal volume increases. Therefore, application to the elderly enhances the respiratory function of the elderly. , Maintaining and promoting the health of the elderly, can be expected to have a training effect.

In the inhalation phase of abdominal breathing, the pressure gradient between the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity occurs because the increase in negative pressure due to the hypotension in the thoracic cavity and the increase in the positive pressure due to the pressurization in the abdominal cavity occur reciprocally when the diaphragm is lowered. In addition to the increase in abdominal pressure, the vena cava, lymphatic trunk, and nipple cistern in the abdominal cavity are compressed by the increased abdominal pressure and the abdominal organs that move and deform.
This promotes the delivery of venous blood and lymphatic stem fluid that flowed in from the lower body into the thoracic cavity into the thoracic cavity, and the return of venous blood and lymph via the venous horn to the heart in the thoracic cavity. Will be done.
In the expiratory phase of abdominal breathing, venous blood and lymphatic stem fluid are reduced from the abdominal cavity to the thoracic cavity due to the contradictory pressure in the thoracic cavity and the pressure in the abdominal cavity, while venous blood from the lower body. And the influx of lymphatic fluid into the abdominal cavity increases. Therefore, the volume of veins and lymphatic stems, which are volume vessels, increases, and the amount of venous blood and lymphatic stem fluid stored in the abdominal cavity increases.
However, in the next inhalation phase, an increase in negative pressure in the thoracic cavity and an increase in positive pressure in the abdominal cavity occur, which promotes the transfer of venous blood and lymphatic stem fluid accumulated in the abdominal cavity into the thoracic cavity. Will be done.
In abdominal breathing, the pressure and pressure in the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity are repeated in different phases, which activates the pumping action from the abdominal cavity to the thoracic cavity, transporting venous blood and lymph against gravity, and the general circulatory system. As a result of promoting the return to the abdominal cavity with a rhythm synchronized with abdominal breathing, the general circulatory system is gently promoted, and the effect of gently promoting systemic blood flow and lymphatic transport can be expected.
In the present invention, respiratory movement can be utilized so as to increase the pressure gradient in lymphatic transport from the massage part to the body cavity by synchronizing the pressure fluctuation of the massage pressure with the pressure fluctuation in the body cavity due to abdominal breathing. ..

It is known that there are an extremely large number of lymphatic vessels around the intestinal tract.
In the skin massage according to the present invention accompanied by abdominal breathing, the lowering of the diaphragm causes compression around the intestinal tract, the increase in intra-abdominal pressure, and the decrease in intrathoracic pressure. The abdominal pressure is released, the intra-abdominal pressure is reduced, and the intrathoracic pressure is increased.
In this way, not only the intra-abdominal pressure and the intrathoracic pressure, but also the pressure around the intestinal tract and the position, morphology, etc. of the intestinal tract fluctuate in synchronization with the respiratory movement and are continuously repeated. It is promoted in synchronization with the respiratory movement.
Since more than half of the lymphocytes in the whole body are present in the intestine, the application of the present invention promotes the uptake of lymphocytes into the general circulatory system and the number of lymphocytes spread throughout the body through the circulatory system. Can be expected to have the effect of increasing immunity.

The mechanism by which adipocytes become hypertrophied due to stagnation of lymphatic transport has been elucidated.
Of the digested products, fatty acids and glycerin, which are lipolytic products, are absorbed by the lymphatic vessels of the small intestine, but the fat components contained in the lymph fluid permeate the lymphatic vessel walls of each part of the body where lymphatic transport is stagnant. Leakage into the tissue gap and infiltration of surrounding adipocytes is the cause of adipocyte enlargement at the relevant site, and is considered to be the cause of skin slack in skin tissue.
The present invention gently promotes lymphatic flow throughout the body by active abdominal breathing, and interstitial fluid containing fat components leaked around adipocytes by intermittent, low-pressure, isobaric massage in the massage area. It can be expected to have the effect of promoting the uptake of the skin into the lymphatic vessels and the lymphatic transport to the central side, draining the tissue fluid containing the fat component from around the adipocytes at the site, and preventing the skin from loosening.

When lymphatic transport around the intestinal tract is stagnant, it is considered that the fat component of the lymphatic vessel fluid leaks from the lymphatic vessels and enlarges the visceral adipocytes around the intestinal tract.
In the present invention, in addition to being able to utilize the respiratory and circulatory function that physiologically promotes lymphatic transport from the intestinal lymphatic trunk in the abdominal cavity to the thoracic duct via the nipple cistern by utilizing abdominal breathing. By periodically and actively contracting and relaxing the muscle groups around the abdomen, including the diaphragm, it promotes the peristaltic movement of the abdominal lymphatic vessels, and the uptake of tissue fluid in the abdominal cavity into the lymphatic ducts and lymphatic transport to the thoracic cavity. It can be expected to have an effect of suppressing the enlargement of abdominal fat cells and suppressing the increase of visceral fat mass.
Furthermore, since it is known that there is a correlation between the amount of visceral fat and the degree of fatty liver, the active application of the present invention actively reduces the amount of visceral fat and improves or prevents fatty liver. You can expect the effect of

In the abdominal massage using the present invention, the mansiette pressure starts to increase the pressure of the mansiette attached to the abdominal cavity at the transition point to the expiratory phase, which relaxes the diaphragm and reduces the intra-abdominal pressure. When the tension between the group and the tissue is exceeded, it acts to cancel the pressure decrease that occurs in the abdominal cavity, so it is desirable to set the maximum pressure of Mansiette as low as possible within the range where the pumping action occurs.
On the other hand, in order for Mansiet to compress the lymphatic vessels and venules of the skin tissue to exert a pumping action ^{, the effect is produced at a pressure of 10 mmHg to 15 mmHg / cm 2} , so the maximum pressure of Mansiet to be arbitrarily set is 10 to 15 mmHg. By setting within the range of / cm ² , effective lymphatic massage of the skin tissue including the abdomen is possible. This can be expected to have the effect of suppressing the hypertrophy of adipocytes in the skin tissue including the subcutaneous adipose tissue and preventing the slackening of the skin.

It is known that the stagnation of lymphatic transport causes hypertrophy of subcutaneous fat cells, resulting in loosening of the skin.
In the present invention, since the part of the massage stimulus acting on the living body is the mansiet, it is easy to manufacture the mansiet having a shape and area according to the application site, such as a mansiet for the face and a mansiet for the abdomen and buttocks. It is easy to apply a soft and isobaric compression stimulus to the skin of each part of the body.

A facial mansiette with the orbit and nose, lips and lips open is attached to the face, and the mansiet is started to be pressurized during the transition to the inspiratory phase and depressurized during the transition to the expiratory phase. By performing a compression massage synchronized with the respiratory phase, lymphatic transport of the route from the face to the thoracic cavity via the venous horn can be promoted.
This can be expected to have the effect of preventing the enlargement and slackening of fat cells in the facial skin, and the stimulus to be applied is the air pressure of Mansiette using an air pump, and the vertical pressure of the same pressure on the skin. Therefore, there is a risk of damaging the fibrous structure of the skin, and since there is no lateral displacement force or twisting force that acts in the skin tissue, there is little risk of the elastic ratio of the facial skin decreasing, and it is safe. It has the characteristic of being a high massage.
The number of contractions of lymphatic vessels per minute is about 1/15 of the number of pulsations of blood vessels, and the present invention is also a compression massage with a low frequency cycle suitable for lymphatic transport. Therefore, the effect of safely promoting lymphatic transport of the facial skin, improving the metabolism of the skin tissue, and preventing the aging of the facial skin can be expected for a long period of time with peace of mind.

By attaching Mansiet to the abdomen or buttocks and performing a compression-type massage synchronized with the respiratory phase, the transition point that changed from the inspiratory phase to the expiratory phase is the start point of pressurization of Mansiet, the fat of the skin to be massaged. It can be expected to have the effect of preventing cell hypertrophy and preventing deterioration of body shape.
On the other hand, when the mansiette is attached to the face and massage is performed, the transition point to the inspiratory phase is set as the pressurization start point of the mansiet.

Lymphatic vessels have valves, and each segment usually has a gentle peristaltic movement at its own rhythm. Therefore, pressure stimulation by Mansiet is performed from upstream to downstream of the lymphatic transport pathway. It is not possible to immediately generate a pressure gradient to reach straight pipe. However, since the venous valve and the valve in the lymphatic vessel act passively to the pressure, the rectifying action of the valve from the upstream to the downstream is repeatedly generated by repeatedly exerting the compressive action synchronized with the respiratory rhythm according to the present invention. It can promote the transport of venous blood and lymph from upstream to downstream.

In the present invention, since it is possible to expect an effect on beauty by preventing deterioration of body shape by performing abdominal breathing, there is an effect of increasing motivation to perform abdominal breathing, and for the purpose of beauty, Regardless of which part of the massage is performed using Mansiet, the physiological effects on the health of abdominal breathing can be enjoyed.
Therefore, the present invention is characterized by being a physiological massage system that is good for beauty and health.
