compact and easy to use

It is made of steel and nylon and is very durable. As a note, I have had mine for more years than I can remember. The manufacturer sent me a sample when they first came out for my evaluation. It is still in perfect working condition throughout all these years and I use it myself. It is great for a quick treatment and I really like the feel of this. Whenever I use it on my neck, along the length of the posterior (back) muscles, I actually get goose bumps going down my arm on the side I am treating! I tend to get epicondylitis in my left elbow and find a quick session treating the forearm muscles that attach to the elbow is very beneficial. There are many uses for the wheel massager and it is an impressive massage tool that anyone with muscle and tendon problems should not be without.
