Mr Duc’s family has an eastern medicine making tradition. Five years ago, Mr Duc had his degenerative spine of neck and vertebra problem. He found troublesome and costly with Western medical treatment. So, he was step by step creating automatic acupressure treatment bed.
The bed is designed as a simple wooden box with a mattress. Inside the wooden box is the engine system with rolling structure, also named its acupressure axle. Acupressure axle has acupressure points like plastic fingers.
On the acupressure axle, there are alternate physician fingers points, making pressure on the neck and back so the patients feel comfortable.

When you press the switch, the axis of rotation will reverse to move up and down the back and neck.
With many areas of pain, the patient can move the stop button. At this point, the fingers will stop at that location to acupressure.
