Claims23
A therapeutic device for being positioned on a user's body comprising:
- at least one segment wherein each segment comprises:
- a discrete mounting structure elongated in a longitudinal direction and including a mounting surface;
- a plurality of elements permanently attached to and protruding from the mounting structure, wherein:
- each of the elements has a top face opposite the mounting surface and said top face has an undulating shape with a plurality of peaks;
- each peak has a summit and downwardly sloping sides;
- and
- the elements are longitudinally spaced apart from one another on the mounting surface.
