PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an acupressure rod being easily usable for both of acupressure to the shoulders and acupressure to the back and having a structure to prevent an arm and a hand from getting easily tired in the acupressure rod for use in the shoulder discomfort and the back pain.SOLUTION: The acupressure rod comprises an armrest part 2 at a lower tip end thereof. A user places an arm on the armrest part and the other arm thereon in such a manner as crossing the arms to exert an appropriate acupressure effect by only the weight of both arms. The acupressure rod can exert further lage acupressure force by downward pressurizing the arms so as to significantly reduce the fatigue of arms and hands compared with the conventional acupressure rod. The acupressure rod body further includes an angle-changeable bent part at a substantially central part thereof. The acupressure rod can be thus properly used according to purposes such as the acupressure (Figure 3) to the shoulders and the acupressure (Figure 2) to the back, and apply appropriate acupressure in each case.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】肩凝りや背中の凝りに使用する指圧棒において、肩の指圧と背中の指圧との両方に容易に利用することができ、かつ腕や手が疲れにくい構造の指圧棒を提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】指圧棒本体の下方先端部に腕乗せ部2を備え、該腕乗せ部に腕を乗せ更にもう一方の腕をその上に組む様に乗せることで両腕の重みのみで適度な指圧効果が得られる。更に下方へ加圧することでより大きな指圧力が得られ腕や手の疲れは従来の指圧棒に比べ格段に軽減される。又指圧棒本体の略中央部に角度自在となる屈曲部を備え、肩の指圧(図3)と背中の指圧(図2)とに使い分けることにより各各適切な指圧を施すことが可能となる。【選択図】図2
