ABSTRACT:
A small lightweight yet strong frame (12): housing multiple flexible axles (22): which in turn support foam rubber roller balls (16): which roll about an axis creating massage, intersegmental traction, trigger point therapy, and active exercise to the back of the user. These axles (22); are made more efficient by the placement of bushings (26) where they are contained by frame (12). Foam rubber balls (16) contain sleeves (30) which promote free rotation. Neck roller balls (18) are also used to facilitate optional concommitant neck and back treatment. A head rest (38) is provided for comfort and multiple tension adjustments (46) (36) are provided for varying resistance to glide.
