Abstract

L'objet de cette invention est un dispositif thérapeutique pour les muscles. Les douleurs de la nuque et des épaules, qui sont très courantes, sont généralement soignées par massages. Le dispositif thérapeutique de la présente invention comprend une structure de support qui se place sur le corps (1) et sur laquelle sont fixées amovibles des têtes de massage (2) dont on peut régler la position par rapport à ladite structure et qui servent à masser les muscles. Grâce à ce dispositif thérapeutique, il est possible de se masser tout seul et sans l'aide des mains les muscles dont on a constaté par diagnostic médical qu'ils étaient douloureux, ce qui permet d'avoir les mains libres pour effectuer simultanément d'autres travaux.
