A roller device for lymphatic drainage treatments includes a handle (2), a rod (4) having one end connected to the handle (2) and a roller (6) rotatably mounted at the other end of the rod. The rod (4) is retractably mounted with respect to the handle, being movable between an extended position and a retracted position against the action of elastic (14) for maintaining the rod in the extended position, in such a manner that a pressure increase exerted on the roller causes the retraction of the rod. The device preferably includes a signaler which supplies a signal indicative of the level of pressure exerted on the roller, and enables its display.
