A system and method for treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy is illustrated and described. The system is a portable massage system for application with the feet. The system includes a frame to resist flexure and configured to hold a rod assembly. The rod assembly is elevated by the frame and configured to rotate upon the application of a tangential force to a surface of the rod assembly. The rod assembly includes a rod having two ends. Each end of the rod is inserted into a portion of the frame. Additionally, the assembly includes a grip configured to surround a portion of the rod and used to increase friction upon contact. Rotation of the rod assembly selectively applies pressure to stimulate blood flow.
