A roller device for lymphatic drainage treatments comprising 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, characterized in that 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 means (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 comprises signal means which supply a signal indicative of the level of pressure exerted on the roller, and preferably enable its display.
