- the present invention has as its object a device formed by a single piece body that allows a relaxing or therapeutic massage of the feet to be carried out in its use.
- the device of the invention allows an active presoming of regular reflexology on the feet, activating and promoting physical health and, consequently, also a psychic well-being.
- it is thought to exert pressure in balance and relation with the user's body mass on neuralgic points of the sole of the foot, using naturally, the weight of the body when stepping on it;
- its use adds a great benefit by adding to the therapeutic effect the user's movement as a physical activity.
- Reflexology which comes from acupuncture, is based on the principle of stimulating specific reflex points of the nerve endings in the soles of the feet, points that are connected to the different organs and glands of our body.
- a device in which the feet are placed on a housing with a set of protrusions located in a plane.
- ES 0 241131 U describes a massager device formed by a roller that can be stepped on by the user dragging along the ground changing its position with respect to the foot. It has no bumps along its surface. Similar solutions can be seen in, for example, ES 1 006 719 U, in this case the roller is provided with a series of protuberances along its surface, or ES1008 213 U, which, similar to the previous one, incorporates a handle for its movement to along the desired body surface, or ES 1 018 709 U, which is substantially equal to the previous one but in which the protrusions of the roller surface are more separated and are more acute, or also WO 94024980, than similar to the above, it combines bumps with a kind of cups or suction cups along the surface of the roller.

- the outer surface of the device is topped by a set of protuberances, arranged adjacent to each other.
- the outer ends of the lateral portions also have a decreasing radius until reaching a lower value than that of the intermediate portions.
- the dimensions of the device are as follows: Length between the outer ends: between 32 cm and 48 cm, particularly between 36 cm and 44 cm and more particularly between 38.5 cm and 40.5 cm;
- Width of each of the intermediate portions between 50 mm and 80 mm, particularly between 55 mm and 70 mm, and more particularly between 59 mm and 63 mm; Width of each of the central and lateral portions: between 59mm and 85mm, particularly between 63mm and 80mm, and more particularly between 68mm and 73mm;
- Width of each end of the side portions up to 85mm particularly up to 73mm, and more particularly up to 45mm;
- each of the intermediate portions between 10 mm and 30 mm, particularly between 15 mm and 23 mm, and more particularly between 18 mm and 21 mm;
- each of the central and lateral portions between 14 mm and 34 mm, particularly between 19 mm and 30 mm, and more particularly between 22 mm and 25 mm;
- the protuberances have a substantially square base, and a free end that forms a sharp or rounded surface; the height of the protuberances is between 3mm and 8mm, and the width of its base between 6mm and 12mm, particularly between 8mm and 10mm, and more particularly 9mm.
- the user can perform reflexology practices anywhere without having to go to a reflexologist.
- the product is easy to transport and is natural, preferably made of wood and without varnishes, and being disinfectable in two minutes in a microwave chamber.
- water varnishes that allow for better conservation and allow cleaning in water.
- the device of the invention serves for the relief of various symptoms and as an aid for the prevention of a wide variety of diseases, ailments, imbalances and disorders. All this is done by touching vital points of the nerve terminals of the sole of the foot.
- the ailments that can be treated are the following: • Treatments of the nervous system in general;
- the practice of reflex therapy is carried out actively, since it has to be oneself, with its own exercise and proportional to its weight, who performs it. In this way specific points or areas are pressed on the soles of the feet, doing a reflex therapy function. Also to do a general massage on the soles of the feet. Always in an upright or upright position (standing).
- this device is made of wood, particularly solid beech wood, as this wood is the most used in sanitary ware. And it has undulations or curvatures in all its perimeter, with which a presomaaje is performed in the corresponding areas of the soles of the feet, which other devices do not reach or do so with difficulty.

- the body (1) essentially has the shape of a cylindrical sector, that is, the portion of solid that passes between a plane parallel to the axis of a cylinder that is located between said axis and curved surface.
- said body (1) there are lateral portions (3) and a central portion (4) that have a height and width (radius) greater than intermediate portions (5), which have a lower height and width (radius).
- the height and width of the intermediate portion is equal to the height and width of the lateral portions.
- the user's feet are located in the intermediate portions, either the fingers, the plantar vault, or the heels, so that the necessary balance for the maintenance of balance and the small movements that can be made from one foot to the other facilitate the massaging of all areas of the sole of the foot: medial plantar, lateral and tibial plantar.
- the plantar massage they also activate other lateral areas of the foot corresponding to the area where it is supported, such as the saphenous and sural by its contact with said raised (lateral) and central (4) raised portions.
- the ends (6) of the body (1), located outside the lateral portions, are of decreasing height and width, which minimizes the unevenness that can facilitate tripping over said body (1) and improves its aesthetic appearance.
- the variation of the radius in the joining areas of the lateral portions (3) and the central portion (4) with the intermediate portions is progressive, varying gradually from a minimum radius, coinciding with that of the intermediate portions, to a maximum radius .
