Abstract
A muscle relaxing device for relieving musculo-skeletal tension within a person's back, neck, shoulders, and feet developed from daily activities. The device includes an inclined ramp with a pair of curved projections at its upper end. The projections are for applying pressure to the thoracic area of a person'back. Adjustable pins extend outwardly from the ramped surface and can be used to relieve specific points of pain within a person's neck and feet. A pair of curved levers extend laterally of said ramp and may be pivoted downwardly to apply pressure to a person's shoulders and relieve musculo-skeletal tension within the top of the shoulder area. The entire device is compact and portable. It may be used comfortably at home or anywhere else.
