Claim:
1. A hand-held internal therapeutic massager device for manually providing direct pressure to a localized area of myofascial tissue, the hand-held internal therapeutic massager device comprising: a rod that is a one-piece, non-hollow member that is fabricated from a non-electrically conductive material, the rod having a first portion that defines a curve and a second portion that is substantially straight, wherein the first portion of the rod is adapted to be inserted into a patient's body and a curvature of the curve defined by the first portion of the rod is sufficient to prevent the second portion of the rod from entering a patient's body; a handle located on the second portion of the rod; a pressure applicator that is located on the first portion of the rod and is adapted to be inserted into the patient's body for engagement with the localized area of myofascial tissue; and a stop that is slidably disposed on the rod to adjust an insertion depth of the pressure applicator with respect to the patient's body cavity, the stop having an opening that extends through the stop and a surface that extends outward from the opening, wherein the rod passes through the opening and the stop is engageable with an external surface of the patient's body, wherein the stop includes a positioning element that is moveable between an engaged position, where the positioning element engages the rod to restrain movement of the stop with respect to the rod, and a disengaged position, where the positioning element does not engage the rod and does not restrain movement of the stop with respect to the rod; and a vibratory device that is disposed within the handle and is operable to generate vibrations, wherein the vibrations generated by the vibratory device are conducted through the rod to the pressure applicator to the localized area of myofasical tissue, wherein the stop is disposed between the vibratory device and the pressure applicator.
