Abstract:
A handle and trigger activating a battery powered motor moving a mechanical plunger in a linear motion range. The plunger is placed against a patient's muscle, fascia, tendon, or ligament and is subjected to the repetitive mechanical plunger motion resulting in a deep massage. Plungers of differing shapes, sizes, contours, textures, and hardness may be used and are readily changed. The speed of the device is controlled by the trigger so that if more speed is desired, a user simply depresses the trigger further. Operational modes include: the device set to 30 seconds on the highest power setting, 30 seconds on a middle power setting; the device set to 20 seconds on the highest power setting, 20 seconds on a middle power setting; and the device set to 10 seconds on the highest power setting, 10 seconds on a middle power setting.
