Massage Rollers

When aching muscles keep you from being able to relax, or even begin to cause you pain or discomfort, massage--the human touch--can be just the thing to help you feel better quickly. Massage has been used since the dawn of mankind to relieve the pain of cramped, tired muscles, headaches, and back pain. Massage increases the blood supply to the area being massaged. The increased blood supply washes away the toxins that get stored up and it makes your skin feel vibrant and healthy.

While it would be just fabulous if everyone had someone close to them who was good at giving massages, that is no longer necessary because you can just keep a massage roller handy to use whenever you get sore muscles. There are several different kinds of massage rollers to choose from. We will look at a couple of them here.

The Joya Massage Roller is a crystal healing massage roller made of Beech wood which holds a revolving gem stone ball in its center. There are several different gemstone spheres available that pop into the wooden roller. There are the Amethyst, Hematite, Red Jasper, Rose Quartz, and Snowflake Obsidian spheres.

The Joya Massage roller works not only on the physical body providing enjoyment and total relaxation from the massage, but the power of the healing stones also works on resolving the inner emotional stresses.

Omni Massage Rollers are small, plastic, hand held massager that holds a large plastic ball that rotates within the hand held device. They come in six different colors: orange, red, purple, blue, green or yellow. The Omni massage roller gives a deep tissue massage that a person can use either on themselves or on another person. The Omni massager can be also be adapted to a back buddy massager. This kit comes with an adhesive backed pad that sticks to the wall. Two or more omni massage rollers are then affixed to this pad with Velcro. To use the back buddy, the person simply leans back against the omni rollers and then moves up and down so that the rollers can roll over the entire back. The rollers can be repositioned on the pad for the best massage.

Which ever type of product you choose, a massage roller is a great ting to have around the house if you do a lot of exercising, weight lifting, or other strenuous activities that can give you sore muscles. Just sitting hunched over the keyboard can cause shoulder and back pain.

There are also other hand-held metal massage rollers. Some of them are electric or battery operated.
