A tissue treatment stick is disclosed. In an embodiment, the tissue treatment stick includes a treatment section including a vibration generating device, wherein the vibrating generating device is configured to vibrate the treatment section, and wherein the treatment section has at least one edge, the at least one edge extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tissue treatment stick.

A massage rope is provided. The massage rope may include a first rope, a second rope, a first handle operably coupled the first rope and the second rope, a second handle operably coupled to the first rope and the second rope, and a first massage spool assembly. The first massage spool assembly may include a first spool secured to the first rope and the second rope, a first spool securing string connected to the first rope and the second rope, and a second spool securing string connected to the first rope and the second rope. The first spool securing string and the second spool securing string may secure the first spool to the first rope and the second rope such that the first spool is permitted to rotate relative to the first rope and the second rope.

A massage device includes a handle device having two end portions, two hand grips attached to the end portions of the handle device, and two spring biased lock devices are engaged into the end portions of the handle device and each include a projection for engaging with the handle device and for extending out of the handle device and for preventing the hand grips from being disengaged from the handle device. An arm is attached to one of the end portions of the handle device, and includes a sleeve for engaging onto the handle device and for engaging with one of the spring biased lock devices. One or more massage members are detachably attached to the end portions of the arm.

A massage roller includes a cylindrical tube body having an inner surface; a supporting core attached on the inner surface of the cylindrical tube body to form a cylindrical cavity; and a filing unit disposed inside the cylindrical cavity to improve the strength of the massage roller.

Generally disclosed is a massaging device that is capable of applying a thermal or cooling massage to an area or portion of a body, for example, the back, legs, arms, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia.

A method of treating meibomian gland dysfunction is disclosed. The method includes directing RF energy to an internal portion of a meibomian gland, selectively targeting an obstruction within a duct of the meibomian gland with the applied RF energy to melt, loosen, or soften the obstruction, and expressing the obstruction from the duct of the meibomian gland. An apparatus for treating meibomian gland dysfunction is also disclosed. The apparatus comprises at least one RF electrode configured to direct RF energy to an internal portion of a meibomian gland located in an eyelid of an eye, the at least one RF electrode further configured to selectively target an obstruction within a duct of the meibomian gland with the applied RF energy to melt, loosen, or soften the obstruction. The apparatus also comprises at least one expressor configured to express the obstruction from the duct of the meibomian gland.

A hand held massage tool that is used for the therapy of muscles and tendons that are suffering from tightness, knots and overall soreness. It can be used as a preventative measure to help keep muscles and tendons stretched. Treatment includes a rubbing back and forth and rolling motion by the copper massage tool directly on the muscle and tendon area that is being focused on. The massage tool is comprised of copper tubing that is filled with liquid to provide the benefit of a thermal transfer of hot and cold properties achieved by the liquid from inside and around the outside of the copper tube for massage therapy treatments. The copper tube generates heat by friction and is also heated and cooled by external sources.

A method and apparatus for affecting wellness in a person's body are provided. More particularly, the apparatus for affecting wellness comprises one, or even two, cylindrical rods comprising minerals and other materials defined, in some embodiments, by high specific heat and low conductivity so that the rods are able transfer heat to a person's body relatively slowly. Methods are disclosed which direct particular applications of such rods, or wands, on the body in order to locally stimulate muscles and circulation to relieve and/or treat various conditions.
