Percussive massage device and method of use

A percussive massage device that provides effective, therapeutic massage through a unique reciprocal motion system. The device features a housing with three handle portions that cooperate to define a handle opening, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor. The push rod assembly operates in a triangular configuration, with the first handle portion defining one axis, the second handle portion defining a second axis, and the third handle portion defining a third axis. The device's motor is positioned in the housing and features a gear system that converts rotary motion to reciprocating motion through a cross coupling.
