ABSTRACT:
An appliance or aid for use in practicing acupressure or finger pressure therapy. An individual is able to apply finger pressure therapy to himself, to various parts of the anatomy, but of course not to other parts, that is areas of the back, because they cannot be reached. The appliance embodies a holder or platform carrying knobs or protuberances which simulate the fingers for applying the therapeutic pressure. The individual places himself on, that is lays on the appliance, with the appliance positioned so that the simulated fingers apply the therapeutic pressure in the desired areas. A plurality of protuberances or knobs is provided and they are readily removable from the base or platform, the structure for attachment or securement of the protuberances providing for securement in the desired geometrical patterns configurated to be appropriate to apply the therapy to particularized areas established in accordance with knowledge of finger pressure therapy. The user can readily form desired geometrical patterns of protuberances and to then cause the appropriate part of his anatomy to have pressure applied thereto.
