Benefits of technology

The present invention is a device that can be used for various forms of exercise. It helps increase blood flow, relax muscles, and improve balance and strength training. The device comes in different shapes to meet different needs.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent is the need for a vibrating exercise device that can be used in various types of training, massage, and stretching. The prior art devices are not suitable for this purpose and do not include any vibrating elements. The inclusion of one or more vibrating elements in the device can provide significant benefit by increasing blood flow, oxygen and nutrient consumption, and improving regeneration of damaged tissue. Additionally, the vibrating device can cause additional muscle work to balance and improve the effectiveness of strength training.

In general, the device may be used between a part of the body and the ground, typically for rolling along a portion of the body for stretching or to increase blood flow. Alternatively, the device may be placed under a portion of the body in order to intentionally allow it to move, requiring additional strength in order to hold the body steady and, thus, increasing strength and balance training.

[0019]Similarly, the present device may be used in conjunction with a stretching regimen in order to allow individuals to stretch or more-thoroughly stretch portions of the body. For example, some muscles of the back and legs are not capable of being stretched without suspending the body portion over an edge. This devic...
