Abstract

A massage apparatus including a casing having an open bottom chamber therein. A pair of spaced apart end rollers are rotatably mounted in the chamber so that they ride in sealing contact against two side walls and top wall of the chamber. A suction is applied to the region between the rollers so that a skin fold is created in the chamber between the rollers when the rollers are applied to the skin of a patient.
