Abstract
In one embodiment of the tissue massage devices and methods described herein, a tissue massage device can include a base configured to be grasped in a user's hand such that a first surface at a proximal end of the device abuts against the user's palm. The device can also include a massage head extending from a second surface of the base that is distal to the first surface, the massage head having a generally convex shape and including a textured non-slip surface formed on a distal portion thereof. The textured non-slip surface can prevent sliding motion between the device and a user's skin, thereby causing sliding between subcutaneous fascia and muscle that is therapeutic.
Claims20
A tissue massage device, comprising:
- a base configured to be grasped in a user's hand such that a first surface at a proximal end of the device abuts against the user's palm;
- and
- a massage head extending from a second surface of the base that is distal to the first surface, the massage head having a generally convex shape and including a textured non-slip surface formed on a distal portion thereof.
A method for tissue massage, comprising:
- positioning a tissue massage device over a portion of a user's body such that a massage head of the device having a textured non-slip surface contacts the user's skin;
- and
- applying pressure to the tissue massage device such that the massage head does not slide on the user's skin to cause sliding between subcutaneous fascia and muscle.
A method for tissue massage, comprising:
- positioning a tissue massage device having a generally convex massage head extending from a base configured to be grasped in a user's hand over a portion of a user's body such that a textured non-slip surface on a distal end portion of the massage head contacts the user's skin;
- and
- applying pressure to the base of the tissue massage device to drive the massage head into tissue such that the massage head does not slide on the user's skin and sliding motion is induced in subcutaneous tissue.
