Device for massaging a user

1. A device for massaging a user, the device comprising:

an elongate body defining a longitudinal axis; and

one or more pair of ribs extending radially from the elongate body, each rib of said one or more pair of ribs forming a plurality of undulations extending around a peripheral region of the elongate body; each undulation being arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and forming a continuous loop around the elongate body,

wherein the one or more pair of ribs form an inclined surface relative to the elongate body;

wherein one or more first ribs of said one or more pair of ribs form a first undulation, and one or more second ribs of said one or more pair of ribs form a second undulation, wherein the first and second undulations are parallel and spaced apart from each other and wherein the first undulation is arranged out of phase with the second undulation, to cause a spreading and pinching motion on soft tissue as the device is rolled along the body of the user; and each rib of said one or more pair of ribs forms a top surface arranged to contact a user during use; wherein the first undulation has a top surface arranged at an obtuse angle relative to the elongate body, in order to further manipulate soft tissue during use;

wherein the device further comprises two central ribs having a plurality of sub-ribs extending therefrom and arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongate body to provide an additional massage action during use,

whereby urging the one or more pair of ribs against a body of the user and rolling the elongate body about the longitudinal axis therealong massages the user.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the continuous loop is arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first undulation and the second undulation has a peak and a trough, and wherein the peak of the first undulation is adjacent to the trough of the second undulation.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more pair of ribs form a surface having a plurality of protrusions extending therefrom.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein each undulation comprises two opposed curves.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein each rib of said pair or ribs is resiliently deformable.

7. The device according to claim 1 further comprising at least one handle connected to an end of the device; wherein the at least one handle is rotatably or releasably connected to the device and wherein the at least one handle further comprises a domed portion.
