BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A preferred example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described below for each body part to be massaged.

Since the rolling massager device of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as a massager device) has various uses, one example thereof will be described through empirical rules. For example, when putting a massage device on the body, it is ideal to place it slowly. Further, when putting a body on the massage device with the massage device left, it is effective to breathe in the abdomen and exhale for a long time. The details will be described below.

1. Sole (a) As shown in Fig. 3, massage the soles of the feet by stepping on the soft rollers of the massage device one by one. You can leave it on, but slowly rolling it back and forth is effective in stimulating the soles of your feet.

2. Lower leg (a) When massaging the lower leg shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, as shown in FIG. 6, sit down with the hips extended and the legs extended. Place the lower leg of the leg to be loosened on the soft roller part of the massage device and roll it down from the ankle to the calf. At this time, it is advisable to perform the operation on the entire lower leg while changing the angle. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, by placing the foot on the opposite side on the disentangling foot, the weight is increased and the massage effect is enhanced, which is more effective. (B) Next, as shown in FIG. 7, stand up the legs of the loosening person, hold the massage device in hand, and roll the outside of the shin with the soft roller portion of the massage device. In this case, it is effective just to push. (C) Do the same for the other leg.

3. Thigh (a) When massaging the thigh shown in FIGS. 8 to 12, as shown in FIG. 13, lie on the prone side and place the thigh on the soft roller part of the massaging device, and from the back of the knee to the base of the hip. Roll up to and massage. At this time, as in the case of the lower leg of the above-described item 2, it is preferable to perform it on the entire thigh while changing the angle. Also, it is good to focus on areas where there is some pain. (B) As shown in FIG. 14, the soft roller portion of the massage device is sandwiched between the groins and laid down beside it, and breathing is performed as it is. (C) In the case of a person with O-legs, as shown in FIG. 15, turn the body sideways, and the outside of the front of the thigh shown in FIG. 9 is preferentially rolled by the soft roller portion of the massage device. (D) In the case of an X-legged person, turn your body sideways as shown in Figures 16 and 17,
The outside of the side of the thigh shown in FIG. 10 is intensively rolled by the soft roller portion of the massage device. Also, in the same manner as the above (b),
As shown in FIG. 14, the soft roller portion of the massage device is sandwiched between the crotches, laid down beside, and breathed as it is.

[0020] 4. Buttocks (b) As shown in Figures 18 and 19, lie on your back and bend your knees to stand. Place the soft roller part of the massage device under the hips (gluteus maximus),
Roll in from the hips to the base of the foot. (B) Tilt the body a little and roll the side of the hip with the soft roller part of the massage device. At this time, if you feel pain due to rolling, keep riding without moving. (C) As shown in FIG. 20, turn the body sideways and place the soft roller part of the massage device on the side of the hips to maintain the riding condition. (D) Do the same on the other side of the hips.

5. Waist (a) As shown in Fig. 21, lie on your back and bend your knees to stand.
Place the soft roller part of the massage device on the lower back (iliac) part and roll it. At this time, the spine is located in the gap formed by the hard thin shaft portion and the soft roller portion of the massage device, and the burden on the spine is eliminated, and a reliable massage effect is achieved. (B) While rolling, gradually raise the massager device to the scapula (lower line) and then lower it from top to bottom.
This operation is repeated several times. (C) In the case of a person whose waist (pelvis) is displaced and the length of the left and right legs is different, hold the longer leg and place it on the soft roller part of the massage device for about 10 to 15 seconds, as shown in Fig. 22. Leave it on. As a result, the lengths of the left and right feet are made uniform.

6. Back (a) As shown in Figures 23 and 24, lie on your back and bend your knees to stand. While rolling from the lower part of the scapula with the soft roller part of the massage device, raise the massage device to the shoulder. At this time, the spine is located in the gap formed by the hard thin shaft portion and the soft roller portion of the massaging device, and the massaging effect on the back and the burden on the spine are eliminated and a reliable massaging effect is achieved. (B) Apply the soft roller part of the massage device to the lower part of the scapula and keep it on for a while. (C) If you have a back-back, try riding a little longer. (D) As the upper part of the back is obstructed by the scapula,
It's good to put your hands in front of each other like ~ 26. However, if you become stuffy, stop immediately.

7. Shoulder (a) As shown in Fig. 27 and 28, lie down and apply the soft roller part of the massage device to the shoulder, ride it, and loosen the arm around the shoulder.
Stiff shoulders use too much of your arms, so you can get rid of them by loosening your shoulders. (B) As shown in FIG. 29, the soft roller portion of the massage device is also applied to the shoulder blade in the same manner to perform massage.

8. Neck (a) Lie on your back, bend your knees and stand. As shown in Figure 30,
Massage the soft roller part of the massage device by slanting it from neck to shoulder. Do the same for the other side of the shoulder. (B) As shown in FIG. 31, apply the soft roller part of the massage device to the base of the neck and massage. At this time, the spine is located in the gap formed by the hard thin shaft portion and the soft roller portion of the massage device, and the burden on the spine is eliminated, and a reliable massage effect is achieved.

[0025] 9. Armpit (a) As shown in Fig. 32, lie down and place the soft roller part of the massager device on the armpit (deltoid muscle / great oval muscle) and ride it as it is. Roll the muscles where there is pain, or keep riding. (B) The inside of the arm shown in FIGS. 33 and 34 may also be rolled in the same manner as above.

10. Occipital region (a) As shown in Fig. 35, apply the soft roller part of the massage device to the lower part of the skull (trapezius muscle), and gradually shift the neck from side to side. You can just put it on without rolling. At this time, the spine is located in the gap formed by the hard thin shaft portion and the soft roller portion of the massage device, and the burden on the spine is eliminated, and a reliable massage effect is achieved. (B) Apply it to a painful place or a place where you feel comfortable.

The usage described above is basic. Based on this basic usage example, an effective usage of the massage device according to each symptom in consideration of illness and / or prevention of each person, recovery from fatigue, etc. will be described. The numbers such as 1.2 ..... indicate the above-mentioned usage examples.

A. Lumbago It is recommended to carry out 4.5.6.7.9. 4.5 is enough, but chronic low back pain will be easier if you carry out to 6.7.9.

B. Stiff shoulder It is recommended to perform the above 6.7.8.9.

C. Back Pain It is recommended to carry out the above 5.6.7.8.9. People with stoops should also do 7.9. It is good practice to focus on the stooped area, and the areas above and below it.

D. It is recommended to perform the above-mentioned 6.7.8.9. 6. Place the soft roller part of the massage device on the sore area with, and place your hand on the sore area with a stroke and breathe. This breath should be inhaled for 5 seconds and exhaled for 10 seconds.

E. When applying flexible chest, etc., it becomes softer by performing 3.4.5.6. If the base of the crotch or the back of the knee hurts, insert the soft roller part of the massage device between the legs in 3. and loosen the inside.

In addition, since the part where the pain is present is the place where the muscles are getting tense and hard, it is easier and the body becomes lighter by loosening the part. In addition, the pain is characterized by gradually relieving each time massaging is performed with a massaging device.
