摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable effective forward bending exercise and stretching exercise of the back to be performed and to simultaneously apply Shiatsu to the back, without the need of an assistant.;SOLUTION: A chair is configured in such a manner that a base part (2) and a leg part (3) are configured to be elastic, a seat surface (1) is provided on an upper end of the leg part (3), and a plurality of Shiatsu parts (4, 5) are provided on front and back surfaces of the leg part (3). The body is put into the inner side of the base part (2) and the leg part (3), the elasticity of a material is used and a forward bending exercise can be performed while producing reaction by a user himself/herself. By leaning against the outer side of the leg part (3), the back can be easily stretched. In the state, when the elasticity of the material is used to perform swinging, an effect is further improved. By sitting on the seat surface (1) at an upper end part and using the elasticity of the material to perform vertical shaking, the balancing exercise of the back can be performed. By the Shiatsu parts (4, 5) provided on the front and back of the leg part (3), a Shiatsu effect can be obtained while the back is rounded when bending the lower back forward, and while the back is bent backward when stretching the back.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT
