Abstract
A flexible exercising and massaging apparatus formed from tubular, flexible, web-like material and having a plurality of internal pockets, along with an exercise regimen that includes the apparatus. The pockets located at opposite ends of the tubular material may hold objects such as resilient, hand-graspable orbs, including tennis balls, that aid in gripping the apparatus, and which have also been found to be conducive to self-massage therapy. The objects located within an intermediate pocket or pockets may be removed, and alternative objects inserted, through openings that allow access to a preselected pocket or pockets. The openings may be enclosed with resealable fasteners.
