A pulley system that is stimulated by the tap of a foot, moving a back scratcher up and down a user's back, bringing about a wave of relaxation. Stress, nervousness, fidgeting, anxiety, and worries are apart of peoples' daily lives. Many have trouble finding a seamless method that instantly releases this nervous energy. Many have to go out of their way to relieve stress, like going for a walk or going to the gym. Others simply convert this stress into negative energy. This product appeals to users who tend to tap their feet when nervous. When a user stomps or taps their foot on the pedal, it pulls a mechanism that is attached to a soothing tool, such as a back scratcher. When the pedal is engaged, it pulls the back scratcher down, and lifting weight off the pedal brings the back scratcher up the user's back. The overall goal of this product is to for a user to take their stressful energy and turn it into positive energy. In addition, it physically calms a user's nervous system by giving them an instant massage at their own pace.

A stress relieving device that incorporates a pulley system powered by stress energy to initiate the movement of a back scratcher and turning the users stress energy into stress relief. The core mission of the Relaxation Installation is to help the user relax. The treatment of stress and anxiety is very important and always overlooked. For instance, the millions upon millions of students who have stress and anxiety issues over their school work each and every day. They are so overwhelmed by stress and anxiety that it actually gets in the way of them doing their work. The relaxation Installation works by using the users stress energy and turning it into stress relief. The user will tap their foot on a drum kick type pedal that is connected to a pulley system attached to a back scratcher. Once the user begins tapping on the pedal, the back scratcher will begin moving up and down in unison to the tempo of tapping. The pedal is made out of wood and has a spring which creates the bounciness of the pedal. There is a dowel connected to a string that moves back and forth when the pedal is pushed and that is the pulley system. The string is connected to the dowel and the back scratcher creating a makeshift pulley system that works at the same tempo as the pedal. Our targeted audience is high school students because the students are the people that need the most help with managing their stress.
