EQUESTRIAN MYOFACIAL BLADE

Abstract

A graspable myofascial blade having a concave edge adapted to contact and release equine back, shoulder and hip musculature.

Claims

1. An equestrian myofascial blade comprising a plate having a top surface, a bottom surface, a perimeter between the top surface and the bottom surface of the plate, said perimeter comprising a concave edge and a second edge, said second edge opposing said concave edge, and said plate comprising a first cavity and a second cavity, both cavities disposed between said concave edge and said second edge.

2. The equestrian myofascial blade of claim 1, wherein the cavities further comprise graspable finger slots.

3. The equestrian myofascial blade of claim 1, wherein said second edge comprises two concave portions and one convex portion between the two said concave portions on the second side.

4. The equestrian myofascial blade of claim 1, wherein said concave edge is adapted to contact equine back, shoulder and hip musculature.

5. The equestrian myofascial blade of claim 1, wherein the concave edge has a length and the length comprises between four and ten inches in length.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0005] The invention can be best understood by those having ordinary skill in the art by reference to the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:

[0006] FIG. 1 illustrates a top down view of one embodiment of the instant invention depicting an equestrian myofascial blade.

[0007] FIG. 2 illustrates a side perspective view of one embodiment of the instant invention depicting an equestrian myofascial blade.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION AND DRAWINGS

[0008] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Throughout the following detailed description, the same reference characters refer to the same or similar elements in all figures. In this detailed description, reference is to a few embodiments of the instant invention, as illustrated in the accompanying and above-referenced drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the present invention may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other instances, well known process steps and/or structures have not been described in detail in order to not unnecessarily obscure the present invention.

[0009] FIG. 1, a top down view of the equestrian myofascial blade, depicts one embodiment of the instant invention comprising an equestrian myofascial blade 1 comprising a plate 2 having a top surface 3, a bottom surface (not depicted, but opposing the top surface), a perimeter 4 between the top surface 3 and the bottom surface of the plate 2. The perimeter 2 comprises a concave edge 5 on one side and an opposing second edge 6 on the other side of the plate 2. The plate 2 comprises a first cavity 7 and a second cavity 8. The first cavity 7 and the second cavity 8 are disposed next to and horizontally relative to each other. Both the first cavity 7 and the second cavity 8 are disposed between the concave edge 5 and the second edge 6.

[0010] FIG. 1 depicts the first cavity 7 having graspable finger slots 12 and the second cavity 8 having graspable finger slots 13. The second edge 6 comprises a first concave portion 9, a second concave portion 10 and a convex portion 11 between the second side first concave portion 9 and the second sides second concave portion 10 concave portions on the second side.

[0011] FIG. 2, a side perspective view of the equestrian myofascial blade, depicts one embodiment of the instant invention comprising an equestrian myofascial blade 1 comprising a plate 2 having a top surface 3, a bottom surface (not depicted, but opposing the top surface), a perimeter 4 between the top surface 3 and the bottom surface of the plate 2. The perimeter 2 comprises a concave edge 5 on one side and an opposing second edge 6. The plate 2 comprises a first cavity 7 and a second cavity 8. The first cavity 7 and the second cavity 8 are disposed next to and horizontally relative to each other. Both the first cavity 7 and the second cavity 8 are disposed between the concave edge 5 and the second edge 6.

[0012] FIG. 2 depicts the first cavity 7 having graspable finger slots 12 and the second cavity 8 having graspable finger slots 13. The second edge 6 comprises a first concave portion 9, a second concave portion 10 and a convex portion 11 between the second side first concave portion 9 and the second sides second concave portion 10 concave portions on the second side.

[0013] The equestrian myofascial blade is adapted to contact equine back, shoulder and hip musculature blade and is different and unique from human what would be necessary to accommodate smaller human musculature. The concave curvature is generally shaped to contact more muscle tissue. The two cavities allow for the horse caregiver to use both hands with some amount of force and alter angles as the concave edge 5 moves down the horse's muscles. The concave edge 5 may be four to ten inches in length to accommodate the larger muscles of the horse.
