First Claim
1. An adjustable massage tool comprising:
- a. a base, said base having a first end, a second end, a bottom, a top, and a first side and a second side extending between said first end and said second end;
b. a first threaded fastener, said first threaded fastener attached to said base proximal said first side between said first end and said second end;
c. a second threaded fastener, said second threaded fastener attached to said base proximal said second side between said first end and said second end;
d. a first threaded shank, said first threaded shank having a first end and a second end, said first threaded shank configured to threadedly engage said first threaded fastener;
e. a first pressure ball, said first pressure ball attached to said first end of said first threaded shank;
f. a second threaded shank, said second threaded shank having a first end and a second end, said second threaded shank configured to threadedly engage said second threaded fastener; and
g. a second pressure ball, said second pressure ball attached to said first end of said second threaded shank;
h. wherein said first pressure ball and said second pressure ball are configured to extend upwards from said base when said bottom of said base is placed on the ground.

Abstract
An adjustable massage tool having a base and two adjustable “pressure balls” attached to the base. The base has a sloping face on both sides. The pressure balls are attached to threaded shanks. A pair of nuts are attached to the wooden base by shanks. The massage tool may be used to simultaneously provide pressure on any two pressure points on the user'"'"'s back. The distance between the pressure balls (as well as the elevation of the pressure balls with respect to the base) may be adjusted by turning each threaded shank. To use the device the user simply rests his or her back on the pressure balls. The user preferably aligns the pressure balls on two “chi points” that are located on either side of the spinal column.
