Targeted myofasial release through use of a rolling track
10828233 · 2020-11-10 · ·

Disclosed are an apparatus, a method, and/or a system of targeted myofascial release through use of a rolling track. In one or more embodiments, an apparatus for targeted myofascial release of a human body, muscles, and fascia includes a rolling track with one or more supports forming a support contour permitting a ball to roll along the rolling track while the body exerts force against the ball. The support contour transitions into a rolling surface so the ball can be guided out of the rolling track to the rolling surface and then guided back in. A friction means such as a lip and/or friction surface retains the ball in the rolling track. The rolling track is securable relative to the rolling surface via a mount. The adjustment track may have two or more adjustment positions for repositioning along the rolling surface and/or a pivot to adjust a track orientation.

An improved self-massage apparatus may feature a main mounting bar serving as a body and one or two coaxial and slidable tubes to provide mounting tension. An outer surface may present a rotatable massage head. The two ends of the apparatus may have brackets or other interfaces to secure the apparatus between two parallel surfaces. Clamps, ratchets, and other tension devices may be used to hold the main components in fixed relation to each other and the massage head may rotate a full 360 on at least two planes for a customizable and extremely versatile massage experience.

Massage apparatus with knuckle-shaped nodes
10688014 · 2020-06-23 ·

A massage apparatus has a spherical-shaped body and a plurality of knuckle-shaped nodes protruding from a surface of the body for myofascial release of tissue adhesions, scar tissue, and trigger points. The protruding nodes are arranged in parallel rows and located on one hemispherical face of the sphere. The nodes vary in height along a row. The rows are preferably spaced sufficient to enable effective rolling of the sphere along a spinous process of the user and without coming into contact with the vertebrae of the user.
