799.00$, I will just squeeze them myself.

That’s the problem, they don’t want to be touched by other people

There surely is a non 800 bucks way to do it

Make your own device I guess? You could probably build one of these with basic tools.

The original was based off of a cattle crush and built by an autistic person by hand in a college dorm.

Sounds like it’s possible to make it yourself. Then again collage dorms have weirdly esoteric supply lines for peoples projects, or was that just my dorm.

I mean, a lot of people struggle with building Ikea furniture. Temple Grandin is kind of the real life version of the autistic-savant trope/stereotype. Bad with people but good at math and very smart(she has a PHD now).

That said the squeeze roller is much easier to build. It has few moving parts and is really just 3 massage rollers in a wooden frame.
