1. A selective pressure application device, comprising:
a tip; and
a base having an extended portion coupled to the tip and at least a first portion configured to be planted on a surface when the selective pressure application device is in a resting position,
wherein the selective pressure application device is configured to enable a user to lie on top of the tip when the first portion of the base is planted on the surface,
wherein the base includes a pivot mechanism,
wherein the selective pressure application device is configured to provide angular pressure against a muscle of the user via the tip in response to the user lying on top of the selective pressure application device,
wherein the selective pressure application device is configured to rotate around the pivot mechanism to provide the angular pressure to the muscle,
wherein, in response to the user lying on top of the selective pressure application device, a movement of the base around the pivot mechanism causes at least the first portion of the base to come off the surface and a second portion of the base not in contact with the surface when the selective application device is in the resting position to contact the surface, and
wherein, in response to the movement, the tip is configured to move from a first position with respect to the extended portion of the base to a second position with respect to the extended portion of the base.
