#$%^&*AU2013100205A420130404.pdf#####ABSTRACT The invention is a massage tool, Spinal Releaser, made from firm material of wood or stone. It is formed from an elliptical prism 6.5 x 3 x 4 cm. On top of this sits 3 ridges/protuberances formed from 3 semi-ellipsoids, the middle measuring 1.5 x 1.5 x 2.5 cm, whilst the 2 adjacent semi-ellipsoids are 1.5 x 1 x 2.5 cm. Each semi-ellipsoid sits 0.5cm apart. The Spinal Releaser is designed for hands-free use, and allows recipients to release the deep paraspinal muscles of the back, by employing a pressure/loading to the back by lying on the tool or leaning into it when seated, combined with active movements by the recipients for added release through the muscles. The stone material allows it to be heated or cooled prior to use, for additional benefit.DIAGRAMS 60 0 (1) Diagram 1. Aerial view of Spinal Releaser (2) Diagram 2. Side view of Spinal Releaser
