[0008] The invention, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which: [0009] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a wearable energy delivery system in accordance with an embodiment.
[0027] The present invention relates generally to making devices for personal well being, specifically the use of an energy delivery system for pain management therapy, firming and toning of skin and muscles, and enhanced athletic per formance, and apparatuses therefor.
In order for TENS alone to provide deep tissue therapy, the intensity of the energy (voltage and current) must be increased, which typically results in excess twitching of the muscles and nerves.
[0055] As is well known, massage improves blood flow, which can remove metabolic wastes from the body, thereby taking away chemical products from cellular activity in muscles that cause aches.
As noted above, the energy delivery head(s) 110 can be perma nently integrated in the wearable item or can be removably attached, using Velcro®, snaps, buttons, straps, pockets, pouches, and the like.
