MuscleMate, available from Aok Health , is an effective tool for the assessment, prevention and treatment of myofascial pain and postural dysfunctions (“myo”refers to muscle, and “fascia” refers to the web of elastic connective tissue that works with the muscle to facilitative movement). The light weight massage tool is suitable for both clinic use as well as self-treatment for patients at home or work.
MuscleMate is manufactured using a polyurethane integral skin foam, which consists of a low density foamed core surrounded by a high density skin of the same material. This makes it comfortable for holding and use on skin.
The MuscleMate can be used for the assessment of fascial tightness or trigger point spasming. It is also helpful for practitioners as the MuscleMate enhances the depth of the massage without causing pain or fatigue to hands and fingers.
