Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for treating injured muscles before, during, and/or after physical activity. Practicing the method of the present involves pressing a plurality of pressure applicators against the skin proximate to a muscle for a sustained period of time. The pressure applicators pressed against the body can be either pins, support members, and/or any combination thereof. The support members may be secured to the therapeutic surface of a therapeutic body as to create an apparatus in accordance with the present invention. In such an apparatus, the base of pressure applicator is secured to the therapeutic surface such that the distal end of the pressure applicator extends away from the therapeutic surface.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for treating injured muscles during physical activity. Using the present involves pressing a plurality of support members against the skin proximate to a muscle for a sustained period of time. The support members pressed against have an arc spanning a base along at least one axis. The support members are secured to the therapeutic surface of a therapeutic body as to create the apparatus of the present invention. The base of support members is secured to the therapeutic surface such that the apexes of the support members' arcs extend away from the therapeutic surface.
