Abstract: Device and method for relieving muscle tension. The device includes a tip portion with a first three dimensional geometry, an extension portion with a second three dimensional geometry, and a base portion with a third three dimensional geometry. The device is configured such that a user can attain trigger point release on a muscle or muscle group by positioning the device on a fixed surface, positioning the tip portion of the device to be in contact with the muscle or muscle group, and then selectively applying pressure to the muscle or muscle group using the weight of the user and contact forces.

Abstract: Device and method for relieving muscle tension. The device includes three pairs of tips. Each pair is located, relative to the other two pairs of tips, at a vertex in a triangular orientation. Each pair of tips includes a unique horizontal distance in between the tips. Each tip is equidistant in height relative to its respective counterpart tip. The device also includes a connector configured to connect each tip to its counterpart tip. The connector is situated such that there is a pre-determined height differential between the apex of each pair of tips and the top of the connector. The apex of each pair of tips is vertically longer than the height of the connector.

Abstract: Device and method for relieving muscle tension. The device includes a base, two pivots coupled to the base, and two moveable arms. Each moveable arm is coupled to the base via one of the two pivots. Each moveable arm includes a tip, an extension portion coupled to the tip, and a handle connected to the horizontal portion. The extension portion includes a vertical portion coupled to the tip and a horizontal portion coupled to the vertical portion. Each of the moveable arms is configured to provide angular pressure against a targeted muscle at the tip by having a user body lie on the selective pressure application device with the tips of each moveable arm contacting the surface of the body where the targeted muscle is located. Each moveable arm rotates around its respective pivot to provide the angular pressure to the targeted muscle.
