A foot massager consists of a single plastic element shaped into a longitudinal inner cylinder having a plurality of rows of evenly spaced rounded projections arranged in staggered relationship annularly about the outer surface of the cylinder. Ends of the cylinder are formed into toroidal wheel-like supports. The massager is operated by pressing the bottom of the foot onto the projections and moving the foot at right angles to the cylinder, thereby allowing the device to roll on the floor on the wheel-like end supports.

An exercise wheel has a noncircular periphery preferably formed by a series of equiangularly spaced teeth. Handles are mounted on ends of an axle projecting through the wheel. As the wheel is moved along the floor, vibrations are imparted to the user through the axle and handles.

A device for massaging the sole of foot comprises a plurality of rows of projection rollers having projections extending in substantially radial directions of the respective rollers. The positions of the rollers and the lengths of the projections are so determined that a surface connecting the uppermost points of the projections is raised at the central portion thereof. Such arrangement of the rollers renders the projections as a whole into conformity with the soles of feet, particularly to the arches of feet. One may place both feet on the device and move the feet back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the rows to conduct press massaging on the soles of feet.

An elongated, cylindrical support member. Attached to the support member intermediate the ends thereof are a plurality of annular roller members. Handle members are attached over each end of the support member. Each roller member bears a plurality of uniformly spaced, radially disposed projections. Engagement of the skin of an individual by the projections, when the support member is moved with respect to the body of the individual, effects a stimulation of the acupuncture points located thereon.

Disclosed are bolster type cushions for therapeutic use, such as for patients reclining in a sleeping bed, convalescents utilizing chair-like supports, etc. The bolster type cushions are provided with apt handle means thereby affording ready manipulation by nurses or other attendant personnel and further provided with water-proof jacket means whereby the cushion might be immersed or otherwise liberally cleansed without seapage of water into the porous body of the cushion. Also disclosed are treads and other means for stabilizing the cushion at the therapeutic environment. The bolster type cushions might be provided with leadwardly tapered form to facilitate insertion into sleeved therapeutic devices. Disclosed also are cushion cross-sectional shapes adapted to permit removably secure engagement within a cross-sectionally smaller and desireably firmer bolster cushion, the dual-cushions combination having advantages for specific patient needs.
