BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a far infrared physiatric unit, and more particularly to an emitter of the far infrared physiatric unit that attached to change its position and angle to emit the far infrared to any position of a patient's body. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Recently, people have learned that exposure to far infrared stimulates cell activity that promotes healing and improves health. [0005] With reference to FIG. 6, the far infrared physiatric unit comprises a base (not shown), a flexible arm (40) and an emitter (41). The flexible arm (40) is mounted on the base. The emitter (41) is pivotally attached to a free end of the flexible arm (40). [0006] When a patient is having far infrared treatment, a medical technician can adjust the height of the emitter (41) longitudinally to correspond to a position on a patient's the patient can receive the full benefit of the far infrared treatment. [0007] However, the far infrared physiatric unit can only irradiate the patient's back, face, chest and arm with far infrared. If the patient's feet need to be irradiated with the far infrared, the patient has to lie down on a bed and curve the legs to a certain angle. For most patients, the far infrared irradiating the patients' feet is not very comfortable. [0008] To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a far infrared physiatric unit to obviate or mitigate the aforementioned problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a far infrared physiatric unit that can irradiate a patient with the patient in any comfort position. [0010] The far infrared physiatric unit has a frame, an emitter and two supporting knobs. The frame has two side boards and a supporting unit. The supporting unit is mounted between the side boards. The emitter is pivotally mounted between the side boards in the frame. A patient places his/her arm or foot on the supporting unit, and the emitter is adjusted to any position and angle to correspond to any position on the patient. The patient can be in a comfortable position during the far infrared treatment. [0011] Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0012] FIG. 1 is a partially exploded perspective view of a far infrared physiatric unit in accordance with the present invention; [0013] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the far infrared physiatric unit in FIG. 1; [0014] FIG. 3 is a side view of the far infrared physiatric unit in FIG. 1 with a patient's face facing the far infrared physiatric unit far infrared emitter; [0015] FIG. 4 is a side view of the far infrared physiatric unit in FIG. 1 with a patient's arm placed in the far infrared physiatric unit frame; [0016] FIG. 5 is a side view of the far infrared physiatric unit in FIG. 1 with a patient's foot stepping on the far infrared physiatric unit supporting unit; and [0017] FIG. 6 is a partial perspective view of a conventional far infrared physiatric unit in accordance with the prior art. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0018] With reference to FIG. 1 and 2, a far infrared physiatric unit in accordance with the present invention comprises a frame (10), an emitter (20) and two adjustment knobs (13). [0019] The frame (10) has two side boards (11) and a supporting unit (14). Each side board (11) has a top end (111), a front bottom end (113), a rear bottom end (112) and a long hole (12). The long hole (12) is formed between the top end (111) and the front bottom end (113) of the side board (11). The supporting unit (14) is multiple rods separately mounted between the side boards (11) from the front bottom end (113) toward the rear bottom end (112). [0020] The emitter (20) is pivotally mounted between side boards (11) and has two side ends. Each side end has a threaded hole (21) formed on the side end.
