Abstract
A percussive therapy device that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a routine controller configured to initiate a protocol configured to apply at least one output of the percussive therapy device in response to user input, and initiate at least one step of the protocol in which the percussive therapy device is applied in accordance with the at least one output.
Claims22
A percussive massage device comprising:
- a housing, wherein the housing includes first, second and third handle portions that cooperate to at least partially define a handle opening, wherein the first handle portion defines a first axis, the second handle portion defines a second axis and the third handle portion defines a third axis, wherein the first, second and third axes cooperate to form a triangle, such that a user can grasp any of the first, second or third handle portions independently to use the percussive massage device;
- an electrical source;
- a motor positioned in the housing;
- a switch for activating the motor;
- a routine controller configured to initiate a protocol configured to apply at least one output of the percussive massage device in response to user input, and initiate at least one step of the protocol in which the percussive massage device is applied in accordance with the at least one output.

A method of executing a routine for a percussive massage device, the method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining the percussive massage device, wherein the percussive massage device includes a housing having first, second and third handle portions that cooperate to at least partially define a handle opening, wherein the first handle portion defines a first axis, the second handle portion defines a second axis and the third handle portion defines a third axis, wherein the first, second and third axes cooperate to form a triangle, such that a user can grasp any of the first, second or third handle portions independently to use the percussive massage device;
- initiating a protocol configured to apply at least one output of the percussive massage device in response to user input;
- and
- executing at least one step of the protocol in which the percussive massage device is applied in accordance with the at least one output.

- initiating a protocol configured to apply at least one output of the percussive massage device in response to user input;
- initiating at least one step of the protocol in which the percussive massage device is applied in accordance with the at least one output,
- wherein the at least one output comprises at least one of a time period the percussive massage device is activated, a speed of an attachment of the percussive massage device, an amplitude of the attachment, and a force applied by the attachment and
- wherein the percussive massage device is configured to provide a prompt to use a specified one of the first, second or third handle portions and apply the attachment to a specified body part upon initiating the protocol;
- monitoring a measured force being applied by the attachment;
- and
- displaying the measured force to a user, wherein the measured force is configured to be displayed to the user so that the user can adjust an applied force to correspond to a target force predetermined by the at least one step of the protocol.
