“I received the Roleo, and I love it. It works perfectly. My forearm is always sore from pitching, but I have never been able to find a good way to roll it out. The Roleo is just the device I've been needing. It rolls the top and bottom of my forearm, and I can even turn my arm sideways to get a 360 degree roll. I use it every day. Sometimes twice a day. It is working like a charm. Thank you so much for solving my problem!”

Medical & Wellness Professionals
“I have treated thousands of professional touring musicians and have seen great results by recommending the Roleo massager for issues ranging from tendinitis, carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, DeQuervain's and trigger finger. Proper home-care is key when treating or preventing repetitive strain injuries and the Roleo is both a simple and effective tool.”
— Dr. Charlie Kautz, DC, “The Musician's Physician”
“I have to admit, I was a little skeptical at first, but after trying the Roleo and seeing how well it worked, I recommended it to my patients suffering with symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Repetitive Stress Injuries of the forearms, wrists and hands. Patients using the Roleo have had excellent results easing, and in some cases, eliminating their symptoms.”
— Dr. Bruce Householder, Doctor of Chiropractic, Los Angeles
“When first learning about the Roleo Therapeutic Arm Massager, I recommended it to patients with repetitive stress injuries in the forearms, wrists, and hands. The Roleo has consistently helped alleviate their symptoms. Based on their experiences, I include the Roleo regularly in the treatment and prevention of repetitive stress injury and carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms.”
— Sri M., Doctor of Occupational Injury Rehabilitation Medicine, Los Angeles, CA
“After a long day of gripping and holding instruments, my forearms feel very sore. Along with stretching and exercising, I have found that regular use of the Roleo is effective at reducing the stiffness I feel in my forearms. The Roleo is the only device I’ve found which targets the forearm muscles and tendons. It’s the next best thing to a professional massage. Thanks for a great product.”
— R. Miyata, DDS, Seattle, WA
“I practice dentistry full time and since consistently using the Roleo, my tendonitis had ceased to be a problem in my life. I am so grateful for this ingenious device.”
— Kimberly Foon, DDS
“The Roleo is fantastic! I love it. I use it every day before my shift and my hands are less tired and strained afterward. If I forget to use it, my hands hurt after my shift. I often use it in the evening while watching TV. It feels great. Love my Roleo!”
— Rosanna B., Licensed Massage Therapist, Los Angeles
“As a massage therapist in one of LA's busiest spas, I work my hands, wrists, and forearms to the extreme. After a full day of massaging clients, the Roleo therapeutic arm massager provides great relief. Just a few minutes of “rolling” and targeting trigger points along my arms and wrist and I'm ready to get back to work. Not only is the Roleo necessary for my profession but it also feels great!”
— Ed K., Licensed Massage Therapist at major Los Angeles Day Spa
Musicians
“As a professional guitarist, the onset of wrist tendinitis and possible carpal tunnel was not good news. And when a hand doctor only gave me a wrist brace and said ‘If it hurts, don't do it’, I was left completely in the dark. Physical Therapy was an option... but prior experience with ultra-sound, electricity, and laser treatments... seemed like a waste of time. Then I found the Roleo, invented by a guitarist/physical therapist looking to make an inexpensive product that could offer real help to those similarly afflicted. Just the idea that my wrist and hand pain could be caused by a problem ‘upstream’ (closer to the elbow) was a revelation. And as soon as I began using this wonderful device — tailored to the condition, I knew I had struck gold. The bottom line is I can now play a guitar without any pain. And Paul, the Roleo inventor has become a real-life hero to me. Thank you.”
— Dan Axelrod, jazz musician and historian, New York, NY
“I've been playing jazz guitar since the age of 16. I am 79 years old. I started having pain in my left elbow 1 year ago with tingling in my fingers. I took an EMG which showed cubital tunnel syndrome, and the surgeon recommended surgery which helped with the tingling and pain, but I still felt some pain. A few months ago I started having pain in my right elbow. I went to YouTube and saw a video about the Roleo. So I ordered one and I am very happy with it. It has really helped with the pain, and has helped me play the guitar for longer periods of time. Thank you very much for your invention.”
— Martin Rosenberg, Guitarist
“I have to tell you how incredible this product is for me. I was a dedicated guitarist for 7 years and had to stop a few months back and convert over to piano due to left hand cramping. The 1st time I used my Roleo, I was impressed so much, and within a few days I was playing guitar again. I spent the last few days smiling… I am back as a guitarist… this device gave me back my musicianship.”
— Keith A., Guitarist, July 2014
Professionals & Customers
“I received it a day or two ago and LOVE IT! Wish I’d learned about it before bilateral carpal surgery and multiple trigger finger surgeries last Nov/Dec. I’m a bit hard on my hands and arms scooping ice cream, doing computer/accounting, and making pitcher after pitcher of blended smoothies at our local events center for my sister’s business :-)”
— Jennifer Catania, RoleoMassager.com customer
“Just wanted to shoot you an email thanking you for the Roleo. Immediately upon taking it out of the box, curious coworkers gathered around. And even a month later, I still have at least one person a day stop by to use it. Best of luck! It’s certainly a unique product.”
— Evan F., Agent Assistant, Computer User, ICM Talent Agency, Beverly Hills, CA
“The Roleo is a big hit over here in the cutting room… As a film editor, I’m on the computer more than 12 hours a day. Using a mouse and keyboard that long has been brutal on my hands and wrists. The Roleo has been a godsend to me — it relaxes my hands, wrists and reduces stress. Everyone in my office and I use it more than several times a day and it’s been wonderful.”
— Byron W., Film Editor, Hollywood, CA
“I have been afflicted with spinal stenosis for many years. This has left me with severe pain in my left hand especially my knuckle area. I would be awakened many times in the middle of the night with excruciating pain. I tried your product Roleo and after moving my hands through the rollers, the pain was gone. Two days later I noticed a very mild pain in my knuckles. I then placed my hands through the rollers and I have not had any pain after this application. Most of all I have stopped taking pain killers. Thank you for a very fine product.”
— Abe K., Business Owner, Bellevue, WA
“For people dealing with muscular arm pain and dysfunction, our consensus here is that The Roleo is a great self-care device.”
