If you were to try and explain to people what a body roller machine is, the best description I’ve arrived at is ‘an armchair without a back and, instead of the seat, a turning cylinder of bulbous wooden poles rotating above an infrared light’. That’s a pretty accurate description, but we’ve included some pictures, just in case.
Jeanine started Rollshape Studio at the Merton Hotel, as the first of its kind in Jersey. The roller machines have captivated the attention of fitness enthusiasts worldwide, with benefits beyond just muscle gain and fitness. Through focusing on lymphatic drainage, the machines work towards rejuvenating the immune system, revitalising deep muscle tissues and promoting overall wellbeing. To put it simply, it’s a full body massage that is great for your health, without the post aggressive massage pain from being pummelled to a pulp.
When we got there, Jeanine made us feel comfortable and ran us through the basics. There’s a variety of different levels to suit both first timers and regulars, and Jeanine helps you get in the correct positions to make sure you are hitting all the muscle groups. A whole session is around 45 minutes, addresses all parts of the body, and leaves you with a sublime feeling of bliss and relaxation that lasts the length of the day (not much got done in the office after this).
The session finishes with the machine up against your back, which is just about one of the best feelings you could imagine. Ben had more goes than he should have, and each time looked like he was practically reaching Nirvana. Whether you’re after wellness, weight loss, sports recovery or beauty benefits, a set of sessions at Rollshape Studio will surely get you sorted.
