Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to mounting devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to mounting devices that secures a massage gun along a flat surface.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

With the improvement of the quality of life, exercise is a must-have for most people, and it will often produce soreness. Whether it is a professional athlete or a general leisure enthusiast, you must have experienced muscle soreness. Massage guns and fascia guns are good tools to help stretch and recover after exercise. Most of the existing massage guns are equipped with a driving device and a massage device. The motor installed in the massage gun is used to drive the cam or eccentric to drive the connecting rod to convert the circular rotation into the linear reciprocating motion of the massage head. The muscles are stimulated by high-frequency vibration. Muscle building, various receptors in the joint capsule, using a massage gun to massage the human body can reduce myogenic pain, increase the pain threshold, and reduce the accumulation of lactic acid. After exercise, using a fascia gun to massage the human muscles can relieve soreness, shortening muscle recovery duration post-exercise. Conventionally, these massage guns are oftentimes held by the user, limiting the degree the user can utilize the massage gun on their backs or any other hard to reach areas. Therefore, it is an objective of the present invention to provide a means to secure the massage gun along a wall or a flat surface. The present invention aims to solve this problem.

The present invention allows the user to mount and secure the massage gun along a wall or a flat surface. This allows the user to administer therapeutic relief along the user's back or any other hard to reach area not accessible by the user's hands. In further embodiments, the present invention allows the user to mount the massage gun to any securement member such as but not limited to exercise machine frames, support poles, furniture, or any other suitable securement member.
