Abstract

Generally disclosed is a massaging device that is capable of applying a thermal or cooling massage to an area or portion of a body, for example, the back, legs, arms, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia.

Claims

1. A massaging device comprising:

a body with a securing mechanism on at least one end, wherein the body consists of a thermal conductive material; and

,

at least one cap that is engaged into the securing mechanism of said at least one end;

whereby a user can experience a hot or cold massage on a muscle by rolling the muscle over the body of the massaging device.

2. The massaging device of claim 1, further defined by a first seal that is located at the base of the securing mechanism on a first end of the body.

3. The massaging device of claim 2, further defined by a second seal that is located at the base of the securing mechanism on a second end of the body.

4. The massaging device of claim 3, wherein the first and second cap are composed of a rigid polymer.

5. The massaging device of claim 3, wherein the first and second cap are composed of rubber.

6. The massaging device of claim 3, wherein the first and second cap are composed of a metal.

7. The massaging device of claim 4, wherein the first and second cap are further defined by support members.

8. The massaging device of claim 1, wherein the securing mechanism is further defined by a female thread.

9. The massaging device of claim 1, wherein the securing mechanism is further defined by a friction fit.

10. The massaging device of claim 1, wherein the securing mechanism is further defined by a snap fit.

11. A method of massaging a muscle comprising:

obtaining a massaging device comprising a body that has a securing mechanism on at least one end, wherein the body consists of a thermal conductive material, and at least one cap that is engaged into the securing mechanism of said at least one end;

removing said cap from one end of the tubular body;

filling the tubular body with temperature variable medium;

engaging the first cap into the first end of the tubular body;

placing a muscle group on the massaging device; and

,

traversing the muscle group over the massaging device.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the temperature variable medium consists of hot medium.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the temperature variable medium consists of a cold medium.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the first and second cap of the massaging device are composed of a rigid polymer.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein the first and second cap of the massaging device are composed of rubber.

16. The method of claim 11, wherein the first and second cap of the massaging device are composed of a metal.

17. The method of claim 11, wherein the securing mechanism is further defined by a female thread.

18. The method of claim 11, wherein the securing mechanism is further defined by a friction fit.

19. The method of claim 11, wherein the securing mechanism is further defined by a snap fit.
