Abstract
A tool for use in assisting soft tissue mobilization and bodily tissue amelioration, such as stimulation of superficial tissue, deep tissue mobilization, breaking up scar tissue, and soft tissue massaging, are described. The tool comprises a device for application to bodily tissue that includes a body having a substantially teardrop shape in a vertical section. In a longitudinal aspect, the body includes a first and a second portion. The first portion of the device corresponds at least in part to a substantially bulbous handle part of the teardrop shape of the vertical section and is adapted for ease of grasping and manipulation at the first end. The second portion of the device corresponds at least in part to a substantially tapered converging double-beveled linear edge of the teardrop shape of the vertical section and is adapted for facilitated application of the device to bodily tissue at the second end.
