ABSTRACT:
A deep muscle knot relaxing device and corresponding method is advanced comprising a flat base from which extends two or more protuberances positioned a fixed distance apart. The protuberances are substantially hemispherical in shape and are of different heights and diameter, enabling the protuberances to be properly matched with the muscle knot characteristics of the user. The base may be formed with a plurality of through openings to prevent the buildup of hydrostatic pressure under the base when used in a bathtub. The base and protuberances are preferably integrally formed in a single molding process with sufficient spacing between the protuberances so as to discourage the user from using more than one protuberance at a time. The surface of the base opposing the protuberances may be equipped with an anti-skid surface, thereby preventing movement of the device during therapy.
