1. A massage tool, comprising:
an egg-shaped body having a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein a diameter of the first end portion is greater than a diameter of the second end portion, the body is formed of a uniform, solid material, and the body has a rigidity; and
a plurality of protuberances extending radially from the body, each protuberance of the plurality of protuberances being formed of the uniform, solid material, and each protuberances of the plurality of protuberances having a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the first end portion of each protuberance is integral with the body and the second end portion of each protuberances extends radially from the body;
wherein the protuberances are arranged in an even number of equidistant rows throughout the body such that the protuberances are aligned along a major axis of the massage tool;
wherein the equidistant rows include:
a first middle row extending around a first middle circumference of the egg-shaped body, the first middle row having first middle row protuberances of the plurality of protuberances, the first middle row protuberances having a first number of protuberances,
a second middle row extending around a second middle circumference of the egg-shaped body, the second middle row is adjacent to the first middle row, the second middle row having second middle row protuberances of the plurality of protuberances, the second middle row protuberances having a second number of protuberances,
a third row extending around a third circumference of the egg-shaped body, the third row is adjacent to the first middle row, the third row having third row protuberances of the plurality of protuberances, the third row protuberances having a third number of protuberances,
a fourth row extending around a fourth circumference of the egg-shaped body, the fourth row is adjacent to the second middle row, the fourth row having fourth row protuberances of the plurality of protuberances, the fourth row protuberances having a fourth number of protuberances;
a fifth row extending around a fifth circumference of the egg-shaped body, the fifth row is adjacent to the fourth row, the fifth row having a fifth row protuberances having a fifth number of protuberances; and
a sixth row extending around a sixth circumference of the egg-shaped body, the sixth row is adjacent to the third row, the sixth row having a sixth row protuberances of the plurality of protuberances having a sixth number of protuberances,
wherein the fifth row is adjacent to the second end portion, the sixth row is adjacent to the first end portion, wherein each of the first number of protuberances, the second number of protuberances and the third number of protuberances is twelve, wherein each of the fifth number protuberances and the sixth number of protuberances is six and wherein the fourth number protuberances is ten,
wherein the protuberances of the first middle row and the second middle row are aligned such that the massage tool rests on four equidistant protuberances when placed on a flat surface; and
wherein each of the plurality of protuberances has a conical shape and has a rigidity, the rigidity of each protuberance is less than the rigidity of the body.
