ABSTRACT:
A back massage and exercise device comprising a substantially flat, elongate frame able to be utilized on a supporting surface, with the frame having a pair of long sides joined together by a pair of short sides and being several times as long as it is wide. A roller array in the form of a parallel series of elongate rollers are loosely mounted in a spaced apart, operational relationship between the long sides of the frame. The frame has an operative position in which a lower portion of substantially all of the rollers is in contact with the supporting surface, with an upper portion of the rollers being available for directly supporting the body of a user. The user is able to readily bring about back and forth rolling movement of the frame along the supporting surface at such time as he is lying on the rollers, with the motion of the upper portions of the rollers during such movement of the frame bringing about a massaging action to the portion of the user's body in contact with the rollers. At least one of the rollers is of significantly larger diameter than the other rollers of the array, with the larger diameter roller operatively mounted so as to be contacted by the user's head. Significantly, the larger diameter roller is employable by the user for head, neck and shoulder massage.
