Soft tissue mobilization device with selective rotational and axial locking mechanism

A soft tissue mobilization device comprising:

• a shaft having a substantially circular cross-sectional shape, a proximal end, and a distal end;
• a treatment member fixedly coupled to the distal end of the shaft and having a pressure applicator attached thereto, the pressure applicator configured for being in direct contact with a desired treatment area of a patient's body;
• and
• a support member coupled to the shaft and configured to translate axially and rotate relative to the shaft, the support member having a support pad attached thereto, the support pad configured for being in direct contact with a second area of the patient's body, wherein the support member translates along the shaft towards the treatment member in order to increase pressure applied by the pressure applicator, the support member comprising:
• a handle configured to move between a compressed position and an extended position;
• an incremental axial translation mechanism operably coupled to the handle and the shaft such that actuation of the handle between the extended position and the compressed position causes the support member to translate axially towards the distal end of the shaft by a predetermined incremental distance;
• a trigger configured to move between a squeezed position and a released position;
• and
• a locking mechanism operably coupled to the trigger and the shaft, wherein the locking mechanism is configured to lock the support member in a rotational position on the shaft when the trigger is in the released position and is further configured to allow the support member to rotate and translate axially along the shaft when the trigger is in the squeezed position.
