Divided Body Roller
- 420 mm with a split, two-row barrel
- The central channel clears the spine
- Works both sides of the back without pressing the vertebrae
- Solid urapán (Fraxinus uhdei) — a dense hardwood that holds an edge
Worked in a continuous rolling motion, always bottom-up. The split barrel is what makes it different: the central channel clears the spine, so both sides of the back can be worked at equal pressure without pressing the vertebrae. Supports circulation and lymphatic movement while easing the feeling of tension.

Where this tool earns its place
Not the right tool for
Flat planes where the gap serves no purpose — a continuous barrel gives more contact there. Not over varicose veins, open wounds or fresh scar tissue.
- The backThe central channel clears the spine while both rows work the muscle either side.
- Two rows at onceSymmetrical pressure without repositioning.
- Toothed discs55 mm discs that catch rather than glide.
- ThighThe gap straddles the hamstring line.
- 420 mm, two-handed120 mm grips at each end, 30 mm across.
- Post-operative stagesOnly from the point the treating surgeon has cleared in writing.

Technique
How to work with it
- 01
Line the channel up on the spine
That is the whole design. Set the gap over the vertebrae before you take any weight.
- 02
Grip both ends
Even pressure across 420 mm. One-handed it tilts and one row takes everything.
- 03
Lower back to shoulders
Upward passes, then out toward the armpits.
- 04
Check the discs are turning
Stalled discs mean dry skin or too much pressure. Add oil, ease off.
Made by hand
We are the workshop, not the middleman
Every KOWÜA tool is turned on our own lathes. We select the timber, cut it, turn it, sand it through progressive grits and finish it by hand. Nothing is bought in and rebranded.
We work with urapán (Fraxinus uhdei) because it is a dense hardwood with a fine closed grain — the surface stays smooth against skin instead of raising fibres after a few washes — and because it takes pressure without splitting.
Buying direct means the price of the factory, custom laser engraving with your clinic’s name, and someone who can actually change the tool if you need a different profile.
Care
Cleaning and sanitising
Never
Do not autoclave, do not soak, do not put it in a dishwasher and do not leave it submerged in disinfectant. Wood is porous — immersion swells the fibre, raises the grain and will crack the piece.
- After each clientWipe off oil residue with a dry or barely damp cloth, while the tool is still warm.
- Disinfect70% alcohol on the surface, then let it air-dry completely.
- StoreDry and flat, away from direct heat and sun.
If the surface ever feels rough, a light pass with fine sandpaper along the grain restores it. That is the advantage of an unvarnished finish: it can be renewed, and there is no coating to chip into a client’s skin.
Before you order
Questions we get
How do I know it is the right size?
It is 420 mm end to end. The working surface is 55 mm. Handle: 120 mm. The full specification table is above.
Can I use it on post-surgical clients?
Only with written clearance from the treating surgeon, who alone decides when a patient may progress from gentle manual lymphatic drainage to firmer tooled work. Clearance timelines vary widely between surgeons and between patients, and we publish none. Never on fresh incisions.
Does it need oil?
Yes. A dry tool on dry skin drags and bruises. Any professional massage oil works; ours are formulated to keep slip without soaking into the wood.
How long does the wood last?
With correct care — no immersion, no autoclave — solid urapán lasts years of daily clinic use. Urapán is a dense hardwood, which is why it holds a working edge instead of denting.
Will it mark the skin?
Redness and warmth during a session are expected. Bruising is not — it means too much pressure, or a tool too deep for that tissue. Treatment should never be painful.
Can I get my clinic’s name on it?
Yes. We laser-engrave logos and names from 10 pieces. See wholesale tiers and engraving.
Do you ship outside Colombia?
Yes, worldwide with tracking. For orders of 10 pieces or more we quote freight directly.
Which tool comes next?
Depends what you already have. Our wood therapy tool guide ranks every surface we make by depth and shows where each one belongs in a session.
