Abstract: A system of placeable and removable pressure nodules is provided having different types of size and configuration and having a density semi-soft, to rigid. The nodules are removably attachable and affixable into a back brace modified and adapted to implement SMRT. Precise, specialized, and individualized pressure is provided to the muscles, tendons, and connective tissues through the nodules in order to alleviate any need for manual massage. The user's own active motions (bending, twisting, walking) engages the muscles and massage the muscles with the pressure nodules.

Abstract: A fastener-fitting (1) for a bolt (10) is anchored to a mineral slab (2) by cutting a cavity (5) into the slab (2) and trapping an elongate flanged-base (4) of the fastener (1) in the cavity (5) under a plug-element (8) of the slab-mineral. The flanged-base (4) fits within a conformal recess (15) in the underside (14) of the plug-element (8) to hold the fastener (1) against turning, with an internally-threaded tubular portion (3) of the fastener (1) extending through a bore (9) of the plug-element (8) for receiving the bolt (10) clamping an item (11) to the slab (2). The plug-element (8) is retained in the cavity (5) by adhesive, and has channels (20,21) for dispersal of surplus adhesive from the cavity (5).
