First Claim
Patent Images
1. A high-density cylindrical massage tool for applying pressure during massage therapy comprising:
- an elongated cylindrical component mounted between a first handle and a second handle, the cylindrical component axially rotatable about a longitudinal axis extending from a first handle to a second handle, the cylindrical component fabricated from one or more of elastomeric foam and silicone gel;
an inner shaft traversing the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical component;
a first handle comprising a planar inside surface, the first handle detachably connected on its inside surface to a first end of the inner shaft, the first handle bored on its inside surface to form an annular recess for receiving one end of the inner shaft;
a first ring mounted around the first end of the inner shaft between the cylindrical component and the first handle;
a second handle comprising a planar inside surface, the second handle detachably connected on its inside surface to a second end of the inner shaft, the second handle bored on its inside surface to form an annular recess for receiving one end of the inner shaft such that the inside surface of the second handle is disposed to face the inside surface of the first handle; and
a second ring mounted around the second end of the inner shaft between the cylindrical component and the second handle.

Abstract
A manually operated cylindrical roller is disclosed which facilitates the even application of pressure to the body tissue of a client during massage therapy, including tendons, ligaments, and muscles (e.g. the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, sartorius, plantaris, and the like). Variations of the disclosed tool comprise inflatable and non-inflatable components, as well as foam components. The disclosed invention relieves sore and achy muscles, helps blood circulation, relieving muscle cramps, loosening tight and knotted muscles, and relieving pressure from the massage therapist'"'"'s hands.
