Claims
- 1. A method of stimulation of a body using a massage device that comprises a housing containing pressure means, an inlet for negative pressure with a plurality of projections located in a region of the inlet, and means for cooling and heating the user, the method comprising the steps of:
- 1) applying the housing inlet to a user and applying a negative pressure over a whole part of a body surface;
- 2) simultaneously with step 1) increasing mechanical pressure on local points distributed over the whole part of the body surface by acting on the local points with the plurality of projections;
- 3) simultaneously with steps 1) and 2) using the massage device to cool the part of the body surface by interrupting a supply of a fluid matter to the inlet which has been previously heated by the cooling and heating means;
- 4) maintaining said steps 1), 2), 3), over a preset period of time;
- 5) reducing the negative pressure over the whole part of the body surface;
- 6) simultaneously with step 5) reducing the mechanical pressure on the local points over part of the body surface;
- 7) simultaneously with steps 5) and 6), warming the part of the body surface by supplying the fluid matter which has been previously heated by the cooling and heating means to the inlet; and
- 8) maintaining the steps 5), 6), and 7) over a preset period of time.
- 2. A method as defined in claim 1; and further comprising the step of repeating steps 1)-8) with a frequency of up to 20 Hertz.
