I have one of these. It is called a Ma Roller and can be purchased in yoga stores or online. It is marketed as 'the Tool that gives you Very Deep Relaxation,' which strikes me as a slightly unfortunate word choice, but it really works.
Basically you lie on it and the wooden bulbs on each side of the dip push into your back on each side of your spine, using your own weight to apply gentle pressure.
It's wonderful. Totally cutting edge yet also ancient Chinese.
Does it help with lower back pain because in my brain, I'm at some store buying one right now. Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh, Lucy, it's all about lower back pain. Your lower back pain will love you.
ReplyDeleteMa Roller? I'd also like the Ma Foot Massager, uh, if they have one.
ReplyDeleteI believe there is also something called a 'Footsie Ma Roller' to massage those footsies.
ReplyDeleteI prefer MM to do the rolling. Hmmm, that did not come out right.
ReplyDeleteI like to roll on MM. Err.... just forget I said anything.
I use a little device called, "My Husband's Hands." He really appreciates and loves giving me shoulder and back rubs every night.
ReplyDeleteThis does look promising, however.
Oh wowsa. I want one of them Ma Rollers thing bad!
ReplyDeleteWe have one of those rolling around -- never knew just how to use it. Now I need to look under the beds and find it amongst the dust bunnies...
ReplyDeleteLooks scary
ReplyDeleteMa roller! Are you sure you don't put it in your hair?
