    Abstract: Presented is a chiropractic adjustment and soft tissue mobilization tool. The tool includes a flat bottom section, and a spine adjustment section. The spine adjustment section includes two raised supports aligned substantially parallel, and a spine accommodating area formed along and between the length of the two raised supports for supporting an intended vertebrae portion of a patient's spine during chiropractic adjustment. The spine adjustment section further transitions to form a protruding edge adapted for performing soft tissue mobilization. The protruding edge further protrudes upwardly and rolls off to form a planar raised surface parallel to the flat bottom. Each side of the spine adjustment section features a recessed area formed thereof to allow a provider to hold the tool with the provider's fingertips and to aid in collection and re-dispersal of lotion applied during soft tissue mobilization procedure.

    Abstract: A self-operated, or therapist assisted, apparatus particularly adapted for massaging a user's body parts affected by repetitive strain injuries such as tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome, comprises two clamping arms joined at a base end and provided with an opening at the other end. Flexible massaging members are mounted on opposite medial sections of the arms. A body part may be placed between the two arms of the device to be acted upon by the massaging members, whereby the body part is adjustably clamped between the pair of massaging members and massaged by translating and rotating movements of the body part along an axis perpendicular to the mounting axes of the massaging members. Alternatively, one of the arms of the apparatus may be separated from the apparatus and used independently to massage body parts that otherwise would not fit between the arms of the apparatus.

    Abstract: A stretching device comprises a wearable body harness with an adjustable central hold arranged around the upper body connected with an adjustable extension strap configured to engage a foot at a distal end. The extension strap is slidably connected to the central strap to move along the length of the central strap. The extension strap comprises a non-elastic material, divided by a single elastic segment. The extension strap having incremental markings designating amount of adjustment. The device and method of using the device provides a comfortable tension, facilitates hands free stretching in the supine position, improving duration of stretching and range of motion. An independent adjustable stretching strap for upper body and shoulder stretching, further comprises a non-elastic material looped at each distal end, divided by a discrete elastic segment and having incremental visual markings designating amount of adjustment.
