It also shows a partial view of hand grip that is shaped in an undulating pattern and includes three divots  210 . A partial view of the hard plastic massage rollers  400  can also be seen. Lastly, there is a partial view of one of the stress-releasing foam material structure  310  that attaches to the top half of the cylindrical holder  200 . 
     Referring to  FIG.  5   , the therapeutic bottle  500  in this construction shows the hard plastic vacuum seal lid  110 . The rest of the construction depicts the separate cylindrical holder  200  with a hand grip that is shaped in an undulating pattern and includes the three divots  210  to provide a space for an individual to grip the bottle  500 . This view also shows the foam material structure  310  and  320  that attaches around the top half of the cylindrical holder  200 . This view also depicts a small portion of the hard plastic massage rollers  400 . 
     Referring to  FIG.  6   , depicts an exploded view of the therapeutic water bottle  500 . There is provided the hollow vacuum seal vessel  100  in the shape of a cylinder. The hollow vacuum seal vessel  100  includes a vessel that serves the purpose of carrying liquids  130 . The vessel  100  may a volume of 20 oz, for example. It is noted that vessel  100  can sealed with lid  110 . The term “vacuum” is used with regard to the vessel  100  denotes “vacuum insulated” for temperature control of liquids therein. In other implementations, vessel  100  could be a double wall bottle with foam insulation sandwiched between the walls, or a single walled vessel. There is also the hard plastic lid  110 . In between the hard-plastic lid  110  and the vessel that serves the purpose of carrying liquids there is an apparatus that connects the two  120 . The apparatus that connects the two is made of plastic. Separate from this is the cylindrical holder  200 . The cylindrical holder  200  may include three compartments that are configured to receive therein the two stress-releasing foam structures  310 ,  320  that sits at the top portion of the cylindrical holder  200  and the set of round plastic massage rollers  400  formed into a rectangular shape disposed on a bottom of one side of the cylindrical holder  200 . The cylindrical holder  200  may include a hand grip shaped in an undulating pattern  210  and includes three separate divots to provide a space for an individual to grip the vessel and is affixed on the bottom of one side of the cylindrical holder that the set of round plastic massage rollers are not attached thereto. 
     In one or more constructions, the cylindrical holder  200  may include stress-releasing foam material structures  310  and  320  that are separated into two structures. In specific implementations, the stress-releasing foam structures may be made from a polymeric foam material, such as ethylvinyl acetate (EVA), polyurethane foam, and/or thermoplastic materials. In some implementations, the stress-releasing foam structures  310 ,  320  may be formed of a material having a hardness of Shore A 0-60 or a hardness of Shore 00 10-60. Preferably, stress-releasing foam structures  310 ,  320  may be formed of a material having a hardness of Shore A 20-30 or a hardness of Shore 00 20-25. 
     Referring to  FIG.  7   , in one or more constructions, the cylindrical holder  200  may include a set of round plastic massage rollers  400  comprised of five, long vertical cylindrical plastic massage rollers lined up in columns-like structures. Each of the rollers  400  has a center disposed rod  410  running through the center. Further, the exterior part of the rollers may have small, cube shaped protrusions  420  extending on the rollers used to improve the massaging effect of the user&#39;s hand and the rollers rotate when agitated. Nevertheless, in some constructions, the rollers may not include the protrusions  420 ; or some constructions, the rollers may have protrusions  420  (protrusion type-rollers), and other rollers may be free of protrusions (smooth surface-type roller). Thus, the set of rollers  400  provide differing message effects by having various combination of roller types. The rollers  400  provide a targeted massage tool for a user&#39;s hands, and arms to provide a myofascial release effect. 
     In one or more constructions, the rollers  400  are connected to the cylindrical holder  200  through the part of the cylindrical holder where the each of the round plastic massage rollers  400  can be urged to ‘click-in’ in a resilient locking connection. Thus, the rollers  400  may be removably mounted in the holder  200 . In one or more implementations, the rollers  400  may be made from a polymeric material, such as ethylvinyl acetate (EVA), and/or thermoplastic materials. In some implementations, the rollers  400  may be formed of material having a hardness of Shore A 70-80 or a hardness of Shore D 50-60. Preferably, rollers  400  may be formed of material having a hardness of Shore A 80-90 or a hardness of Shore D 70-80. 
     In one or more constructions, a drinking bottle  500  includes features that allow someone to massage their hands or fidget with their hands which makes it convenient for an individual to carry around not only as one of their hydration sources, but also as a therapeutic tool that can be used throughout the day. In one or more constructions, the cylindrical holder  200  may be encircled by two separate a stress-releasing foam material sections  310  and  320  that are separated into two structures and attaches into two compartments around the top portion of the cylindrical holder and may leave small spaces between them on either side of the cylindrical holder. The distal ends of the stress-releasing foam structures are conformed in a semi-circle cutout pattern to accommodate a hand of a user.
