Abstract

The present invention provides an apparatus for the treatment of muscle and/or joint disorders, said apparatus including a patch component securable to a part of a body of person at an area at where (a) the disorder to be treated is located and/or (b) the disorder can be treated from, said patch comprising one part of a fastening system, the patch component fastenable to an other component of the fastening system secured to a structure to allow a person to position themselves adjacent thereto to apply said patch to the fastening system and thereby hold part of said body fixed relative said structure to, upon movement of the body at where the patch is located relative the structure move the muscle/joint relative proximate muscles/joints of the body. A method for treating muscle and/or joint disorders is also provided.
