Abstract

A hand held massage device having a plurality of spheres adjustably mounted on an axial rod with enlarged grip handles mounted on the outer ends of the rod for rotation. The massage device is easy to use and, because the handles are in axial alignment with the massage spheres, allows the user to apply and direct the desired amount of pressure. The spheres of the massage device may be adjusted to various positions along the axis of the rod to comfort and to direct the massage to specific areas.
