The present invention relates generally to an universal Hydrotherapy devices like a Hydrotherapy tub, Jacuzzi, whirlpool, and hot tub, and more particularly to applying a massaging effect to the body of a user utilizing high-pressure hot and cold water. It further relates to air mattresses and water beds. The invention further relates to a TENS Device, (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation). It further relates to an oxygen therapy devices.
Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
Massage is a time-honored and generally effective therapy for muscular injuries, strains and general soreness but, although massage is still recommended by many physicians for such purposes, this therapy is largely unavailable due to a scarcity of trained, qualified masseurs. As a result, many devices and apparatus have been proposed in the past for producing a massage-like manipulation of a user's body by mechanically or electrically-generated vibrations or pulsations, usually accompanied by heating. In addition, massage-stimulative devices utilizing pulsations of pressurized water have recently become popular, such as pulsation-type shower heads, whirlpool baths, and the like.
Various types of massage units have been provided heretofore and generally encompass mechanical and electrical hand-held units that vibrate, pulsate, and provide heat. Also known in the art are shower heads arranged to expel water in a pulsating fashion whereby a person taking a shower is treated to a variety of sprays which can be physically directed at will to any desired spot on the body.
Also, there are known devices that provides heated water circulated to a flexible bag positioned on a person's back, for example. The action of the circulating water through the bag, and the heat emanating therefrom, serve to provide therapy for a muscle injury or the like.
Hot tubs have been used for therapy for thousands of years to heal the body from injuries. The Jacuzzi was invented to apply pressured hot water and air to the body parts, but the Jacuzzi is made from either wood, cement, fiberglass, or stainless steel, and sometimes having to use a crane to lift and move a Hydrotherapy tub, Jacuzzi, whirlpool, or hot tub. Another problem with these types of Jacuzzis, whirlpools, or hot tubs is that chlorine or other chemicals must be used to purify the water. There are Jacuzzis, whirlpools, or hot tubs that use UV lights to purify the water, but still, any therapeutic office or hospital has to change the water before each use, to prevent body injuries from being infected. It also takes a lot of heat or energy to heat up the water in any Hydrotherapy tub, Jacuzzi, whirlpool, or hot tub on Earth. All Hydrotherapy tubs, Jacuzzis, whirlpools, or hot tubs can not use dirty water or contaminated water, without resulting in damage to the Jacuzzi equipment or injury or even possible death in some cases, when soaking in hazardous water for hours at a time. many hydrotherapy tubs, Jacuzzis, whirlpools, or hot tubs have to use AC to operate with, and many Nations cannot afford to pay a therapeutic Jacuzzi which costs more than what one makes in one year. There is also a major issue for some Nations around the World who do not have 100 gallons or more of bath water available to fill up a Hydrotherapy tub, Jacuzzi, whirlpool, or hot tub. Another issue with Hydrotherapy tubs, Jacuzzis, whirlpools, or hot tubs, you can only use either hot or cold water at one time, you can not use both hot and cold water inside a Hydrotherapy tub, Jacuzzi, whirlpool, or hot tub at the same time, to be able to control the body temperature from becoming too hot or too cold.
In recent years, the emergence of deadly viruses with contagion properties is spelling havoc in our societies, resulting in severe straining of the healthcare systems as also of the economies. Therapists around the World use a hot water Jacuzzi for therapy to repair and heal body parts. When a foot, leg, hand or arm, or body has to have this type of therapy, big stainless steel Hydrotherapy tubs are used for Hydrotherapy.
In view of the foregoing, there is a need for a hot water Jacuzzi for therapy that consumes less water, less energy to heat water, occupies less space, and portable to carry and use inside a vehicle for home-to-home Hydrotherapy. Also, there is a need for a hot water Jacuzzi for providing more effective and economical Dry-hydrotherapy body massage for healing body parts.

The claimed invention can force the new blood into the injured body parts while forcing the old Blood out of the injured body parts, by using a compressed Hydrotherapy Mummy Bag wrapped around the body, and using a high-pressure water pump to force the hot or cold water to start from the toes as the water flow flows up to the head, then have the compressed hot or cold water flow from the head and back down to the toes, will provide a Hydrotherapy massage as if a patient would have their entire body laying inside a Hydrotherapy Jacuzzi tub, while the user's body stays dry.
The nurse or therapist can use hot water in the first session for 30 minutes to increase the blood flow inside the body and relax and massage the muscles with the Hydrotherapy tubes. After the thirty minutes therapy session, use the cold water for thirty minutes to decrease the swelling of the body parts, while decreasing the blood flow, meanwhile using the Hydrotherapy tubes to massage the body with cold water. In case the patient gets cold chills, simply turn back on the hot water circulation until the patient warms back up, and stops the therapy session.
Pure Oxygen therapy has been used in hospitals and therapy offices to cure wounds using a Hyperbaric Chamber. The Invention allows a AC 120-220 to DC Voltage Converter to supply DC volts to an Anode and Cathode inside Chambers with separator tubes located in the Hydrogen/Oxygen Chambers. This allows pure Oxygen to be generated from H2O and the Oxygen pumped inside of the compressed Hydrotherapy Bag, Hydrotherapy Blanket or Hydrotherapy Mummy Bag will produce a Hyperbaric Chamber effect. An electrolyte is used to create more Oxygen for the Hydrotherapy Bag, Hydrotherapy Mummy Bag, Hydrotherapy Blanket and Hydrotherapy Bed. By having air tubes going into the Hydrotherapy Bag, Hydrotherapy Mummy Bag or Hydrotherapy Blanket that is compressed around the body, will provide pure Oxygen being injected into the Hydrotherapy Mummy Bag, Hydrotherapy Bag, Hydrotherapy Blanket and Hydrotherapy Bed.
