ABSTRACT:
A pressure-applying device for relieving distress includes a pressure applicator having a plate member and a pressure-applying body attached to and protruding from one of a pair of opposite surfaces of the plate member. The plate member has a central portion with a pair of opposite surfaces facing in opposite directions and a peripheral portion surrounding the central portion and having a pair of first opposite sides respectively connected to opposite ends of the central portion and a pair of second opposite sides spaced from a pair of opposite edges of the central portion so as to define respective elongated enclosed slots within the plate member between the second opposite sides of the peripheral portion and the pair of opposite edges of the central portion of the plate member. The device also includes a flexible strap attached to the plate member and adapted for wrapping and securing around a part of the body of a user so that the pressure-applying body is between the flexible strap and part of the body and is in contact with a selected point on the part of the body of the user for applying pressure thereto.
