  • Method, system and apparatus for treating myofascial and musculoskeletal tissue imbalances using a soft tissue mobilizing device that can be manually lifted and shifted for normalizing myofascial and musculoskeletal tissue imbalances
    Patent number: 10350133
    Abstract: An apparatus for treating myofascial and/or musculoskeletal tissue imbalances. The apparatus comprises a soft tissue mobilizing device having a front surface and a back surface. The back surface has an adhesive to adhere the device directly to the soft tissue area of a patient's body where muscle tension, aches and pain are present. The device when applied decompresses the soft tissue area being treated. The front surface includes a tab gripping mechanism to allow the patient or a therapist to grip the tab for manually lifting and shifting the soft tissue area under the mobilizing device being treated. The manual lifting and shifting of the patient's soft tissue reduces the time period for normalizing the myofascial and/or musculoskeletal tissue area being treated.
