ABSTRACT:
A skin stimulator which has a number of handles around the periphery of a generally circular base. Opposite each handle and on an opposing edge of the base member, are teeth or stimulators which are used to stimulate the skin (i.e. back, soles, or legs) of a user. A mounting bracket permits the stimulator to be mounted onto a wall, a door, or a floor stand. The preferred mounting bracket is created by a series of radially extending channels which allow the user to readily adjust the stimulator so that a particular set of unique teeth are accessible. In one embodiment of the floor stand, a vibrator is used to vibrate the stimulator so that the soles of a user's feet are massaged and stimulated. In one embodiment of the invention, each handle is provided with a tactile indicia so that the user is able to identify the teeth which will be used by merely grasping the handle portion. Teeth, in this context, include: pointed protrusions, rounded protrusions, rollers, and rolling balls.
