This device is a handheld tool intended for use on one's self or another to provide various types of Massage therapy including: Direct Compression, Acupressure, Trigger Point Therapy, Muscle Scraping/Gua Sha, Lymphatic Drainage and Myofascial Release. The size and solid-body construction of this device make it easy to hold, easy to control, and quite durable. The unit is comprised of two distinct parts, a Knuckle Structure and a ball base.

The Knuckle Structures are distributed around and embedded in the ball base in a tetrahedral arrangement. The Knuckle Structures emerge from the ball base at graduated heights allowing for varying depths of penetration of the Knuckle Structures which allows for a greater level of safety and control when providing Trigger Point Therapy, Cross Friction Massage, and compressive forms of Myofascial Release. The sides of the Knuckle Structures provide a rounded edge, especially well-suited for Muscle Scraping which are gentler than those currently offered in other devices. The angles made by the juxtaposition of the Knuckle Structures and the ball base produce approximately V-shaped edges appropriate for lymphatic drainage. The smooth rounded surface of the ball-base itself is similarly appropriate for working on sensitive structures, where no penetration is desired, or for producing a stimulatory effect on underlying inflammation.

A massage mechanism and its massager. The massage mechanism includes a base, motor, drive assembly, first drive shaft, first bearing, first massage drive assembly, first massage head assembly, inter-shaft drive assembly, second transmission shaft, second bearing, second massage drive assembly and second massage head. There is also provided a massager including the foregoing massage mechanism. The mechanism could optimize those unstable and noisy features for an ideal massage experience, and solve the problem that multiple massage actions cannot be driven by a single motor.

A personal therapy system includes a sensory stimulation pack having a heating device and/or a scent-emitting device, and a holder including a holder body receiving the sensory stimulation pack within a cavity. The holder body has two disc-shaped body pieces releasably attachable to contain the sensory stimulation pack, and vents for outputting heat or scent from the cavity. Surfaces of the holder body have selectively smooth or not smooth textures for varied tactile stimulation of a user.

A method and apparatus to train a service provider to apply a predetermined amount of pressure to a patient which can include a patient lying on a table with one or more pressure sensors and measuring the amount of pressure applied to the patient. In one embodiment, the service provider can attempt to apply a predetermined pressure and then review the actual measured force that he or she applied in order to train to more accurately apply different pressures. Embodiments of the present invention also relate to a treatment environment wherein physiological effects of treatments are configured to provide changes in environmental conditions.

A tactile stimulating device is either floor mounted and portable, or a ceiling mounted unit that provides for therapeutic tactile stimulation to a person. The tactile stimulating device circularly rotates a variety of materials to create tactile stimulation in a random and chaotic pattern on the user. The random and chaotic stimulation pattern is achieved through circular rotation provided by a main circular rotational bar, followed by circular rotation of a first and second circular rotational bar that are located at opposite ends of the main circular rotational bar. The tactile stimulating device may be set up and operated by the user and has a timing device to shut down the device automatically, negating the need for the user to move to turn off the device after being in a relaxed state.

An apparatus for assisting a male animal to masturbate can include: a tube with an end opening into a cavity, the end having a pair of flat surfaces extending therefrom; a plate with an receptacle extending therefrom, the receptacle corresponding to the tube to receive the same upon insertion, the pair of flat surfaces of the end engaging with a corresponding pair of orifices formed through the plate assembly to reversibly lock the tube against the plate. A female animal mannequin can have the plate installed therein. The tube and the receptacle of the plate can be approximately the same length to accommodate coupling there-between. Further, the pair of flat surfaces can each include a protrusion that removably engages with each orifice to reversibly lock the tube with the plate prior to masturbatory use of the tube by a male animal.

Disclosed is a weighted material that is configured to effectuate deep pressure therapy to a person when a piece of the weighted material is used as a blanket over the person's body. A length of layered yarn is interlooped to form the piece of weighted material. The layered yarn includes an outer tube extending longitudinally from a first end to a second end. The outer tube defines a conduit extending longitudinally therethrough from the first end to the second end. A plurality of inner layers of material are disposed within the conduit and extend longitudinally from the first end to the second end. The interlooped length of yarn, by itself, is configured and sufficiently weighted to effectuate deep pressure therapy to a person when the blanket lies over the person's body. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.

Systems and methods of improving new age healing techniques. Personal effects including solids understood by practitioners of new age healing techniques to have vibrational qualities that are thought to improve health of body and mind. Personal effects including conductive elements coupling one or more solids to each other and to the user/wearer of the personal effect to improve the benefits to that user/wearer. Methods of improving health involving personal effects of the inventive subject matter.
