Definitions

  • a roller massage system provides a pair of roller massage assemblies in opposed adjustable spaced relation to allow engagement of each one of the pair of roller massage assemblies on a corresponding massageable portion of the body.
  • Conventional massage devices may provide a roller which can be drawn along the surface of the body.
  • the amount of pressure exerted by the roller on the surface of the body depends directly on the amount of force exerted by the user on the massage device. Accordingly, different parts of the body may be treated differently. Additionally, the user may experience fatigue and the amount of force applied may vary to a greater or lesser degree on the massageable portion of the body or the user may not be able to complete the massage of the massageable portion of the body.
  • the instant invention provides a roller massage system and method of massaging which addresses the problems related to conventional massage devices.

  • Another substantial object of the invention can be to provide a roller massage system having a first and second pair of handle supports which function to allow the pair of roller massage assemblies to travel between a closed condition and an open condition while maintaining a substantially parallel opposed relation useful in engaging each one of the roller assemblies on a corresponding massageable portion of the body.
  • Another substantial object of the invention can be to provide a pair of handles one each coupled to a corresponding one of the pair of roller massage assemblies which allows the pair of roller massage assemblies to travel between the closed condition and the open condition by drawing the pair of handles apart under forcible urging of the user's hands.
