Description
If your hands are tired rubbing your significant other's sore muscles try this physical therapy tool for soft tissue manipulation. Perfect for force progression for the professional or the amateur and able to be customized to fit your hand for grip in applying either the concave or convex surface.
Instructions
If you have average sized male hands then you can just print out the stl. If not, adjust in OpenSCAD to fit your hand - export stl and print with your favorite RepRap version.
There is no need to go full fill if you put on a few external layers.

Oooh, my masseuse friend will love one of these! She's commented on the desire to have some physical tools for manipulation at times.
Having designed hand-holds myself before though, I have a feeling this would be more comfortable if the interior edges were radiused. I think a minkowski sum of a sphere and the whole part would radius the whole thing? Not too familiar with OpenSCAD, but I think that would work...
