A portable, manually-operated, self-massaging apparatus for use on a human back anatomy includes a cylindrical head having a first vertical semi-cylindrical section continuously formed with a second vertical semi-cylindrical section, and a handle connected to the cylindrical head for forming a unitary construction. The handle includes a smooth rounded tip for providing a localized massage directly at a pain trigger point. The first vertical semi-cylindrical section includes a stationary smooth outer surface for providing a less intensive massage. The second vertical semi-cylindrical section includes rows of stationary wedge-shaped protuberances with each protuberance having a flat top for providing a deep tissue massage when applied to a human back anatomy. In an alternative embodiment, the top surface of the cylindrical head exhibits a smooth upper surface to facilitate neck and upper back massage.
