Abstract:
A Device and Method for providing Therapeutic Massage and Dilation is disclosed. The Device is a uniquely designed instrument that is cupped from side to side and is narrower at one end than at the other. The narrow end has a flattened tip that is rounded around its perimeter. The wide end incorporates a semi-spherical handle. The bottom of the Device is convex and has small ridge that is rounded running along most of its length. The primary function of the present invention is for use in the vagina to loosen and stretch the perineum thereby reducing trauma at birth. Depending on the size of manufacture, body cavities other than the vagina can benefit from internal massage for the relief of deformity, stricture, or other discomforting conditions. The instrument is used by inserting it into the vagina with its bottom side to the vaginal floor. Then the device is moved from side to side in a rocking motion to massage the surrounding tissues. The flattened tip can be used to pull the perineal tissues forward as they begin to loosen, the flattened tip can be used to massage tissues that are tight as well. The cupped or concave surface on the top side of the instrument helps prevent contact with cervix and urethra thereby avoiding irritation to these parts of the female anatomy, it also provides a recessed surface for the attachment of an optional reservoir for the application of ointments or medications. The handle is dual purpose and can be used to massage the tissues at the opening of the vagina. A provision for the attachment of a vibration generating device is also included thereby offering additional therapeutic value to certain users.
