The present concept is a device and method for providing massage which addresses the problem of practitioner injury while at the same time allows for the provision of a better massage. The device allows a massage practitioner to deliver to a recipient a spectrum of beneficial physical contacts in a way that spares the providers hands and arms the repetitive strain that tends to lead to injury or early retirement. The method describes a technique whereby a practitioner delivers a treatment similar to a traditional massage but firstly necessitates less pressure to be exerted by the provider, and secondly delivers a reciprocal hand massage to the provider, while thirdly provides for a largely uninterrupted delivery of physical contact to the recipient.
