Title: Massage stone
Inventor: SYRENNE ROBERT
IPC: A61H99/00
Filed: 2016-12-19
Abstract: The massage stone is a very unique item made from natural stone, crafted individually and finished with a natural beeswax polish providing a stunning piece that serves a useful and wondrous purpose. The massage stone is an excellent spa type tool used to rub out those sore muscles or provide that gentle massage needed on those aching areas of the body. Small enough to carry and use by an individual on themselves, yet large enough to work wonders on those sore muscles or knots.  Not only does this massage stone serve a useful purpose, it presents a beautiful visual appearance. The massage stone is designed with various contour profiles in its shape to effectively fit against the many muscle contours on the body, whether that be for those sore back muscles, neck, shoulder, arms, legs, hips and feet. The massage stone can be used by rubbing over your muscles through a person's clothes or alternatively to rub directly on the skin using a small amount of oil or lotion. If a warm feeling is preferred, the massage stone can be immersed in hot or warm tap water prior to use, or if a cool feeling is preferred such as in nursing a headache, the massage stone can be stored in the refrigerator prior to use. Its use provides relief from sore muscles, muscle injuries such as shoulder rotator cuff issues or plantar fasciitis, or just headache relief at the temples or sinuses. The general body of the massage stone also includes a concave depression to ensure easy and positive handling of the stone when it is being used. Various stone types can be used to give variance in color and metaphysical references.
