Abstract
One embodiment of an interchangeable massage roller system (1) provides low-profile, interchangeable support bases (6) for supporting the roller (4) at different heights above the floor (22) and provides interchangeable sleeves (3) fitting over the roller (4), cushioning it according to the user's needs. An afflicted area of the body may be rolled on top of the roller system (1) without any interference from the low-profile base (6) to alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with muscle or connective tissue ailments. Variations in the type of base (6), massage body (4) and sleeve (3) used, allow the user to reconfigure the roller system (1) to maximize performance according to the body part and injury being massaged.
