Device and associated system for mobilization of the back

A device for facilitating convenient and effective back mobilization of a clothed person, the device comprising:

• a substantially cylindrical body having two ends and two cylindrical, radial surfaces,
• wherein the cylindrical, radial surfaces make substantially smooth transitions into the ends proximate the cylindrical, radial surfaces;
• and
• a channel of reduced radius approximately centered between the ends of the cylindrical body,
• wherein the cylindrical, radial surfaces make substantially smooth transitions into the channel proximate the cylindrical, radial surfaces.

• and
• clothing retainer means for retaining the clothing proximate the body of the person;
• wherein the person is able to mobilize the back while moving the back along the cylindrical, radial surfaces of the device causing the device to roll while the retainer means keeps the clothing from underneath the rolling device as it rolls.
