The invention provides devices and methods for therapeutically treating a variety of body parts. An exemplary massage device comprises an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. A head is attached to the distal end of the shaft and includes a plurality of surface for interaction with a body part. At least two of the surfaces on the head each include a plurality of resilient knobs which are distributed over their surfaces. The knobs on one of the two surfaces are different from the knobs on the other surface. A handle is removably attached to the proximal end of the shaft.

A kitchen utensil for contacting at least one of a food and a food-containing surface is provided. The utensil comprises a handle; and, at least one elongate member extending from an end of the handle, the at least one elongate member comprising a resilient covering surrounding a core element, the covering comprising a non-round transverse cross-sectional profile. The kitchen utensil covering may also comprise a longitudinal cross-sectional profile varying along its length. The kitchen utensil transverse cross-sectional profile may also vary along the elongate member's length according to at least one of shape, size and orientation.
