    Abstract: A non-electric hand held massaging device for massaging a persons hands, arms, feet and legs. The device consists of a pair of opposed rigid rollers, each with a plurality of resilient protrusions radiating outwardly from the surface the rollers. The rollers terminate in shafts which are held in tracks located on either side of the rollers. A circular handle surrounds the tracks and rollers making it convenient for a user to hold the device in a variety of positions. A pair of elastic cords is located in the hollow space formed inside the track portion and the handle portion. The elastic cords terminate in shaft holders which connect to the shaft ends of the rollers. The elastic cords are placed in such a way as to create a spring tension between the two rollers so that when a user inserts his or her hand or foot between the rollers, he or she receives an invigorating massage caused by the action of the many resilient tips of the roller surface impinging of the users skin.
