A massage device includes a massage roller that extends lengthwise along an axis from a first end to a second end, opposite said first end, a grip extending from the first end, and a flexible sling extending from the second end and swivelably mounted to the second end. The sling includes an elbow harness for receiving a user's elbow. The massage roller may be urged and rolled against the first side of a user's body by holding the grip and applying a force on the elbow harness with the elbow on the opposite side of the user's body, while the massage roller is allowed to rotate about the axis without twisting the sling.
