Roller massage (RM) has become a popular intervention used by rehabilitation professionals and active individuals. The emerging popularity has resulted in the production of various types of rollers and a growing body of research on the therapeutic effects and science behind RM. Despite the growing popularity and research, there is no consensus on clinical standards such as a describing the intervention, indications, precautions, contraindications, and assessment. There have been no specific peer reviewed publications that have discussed such standards. This leaves a gap in the knowledge regarding how clinicians are integrating the RM research into their clinical practice. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to discuss proposed clinical standards for RM. Part I will discuss the proposed clinical standards and Part II will report the results of a 20-question survey sent to physical therapy (PT) professional members of the Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy Sections of the American Physical Therapy Association.
滚筒按摩（RM）已成为康复专业人员和运动人群常用的一种干预方法。其日益普及促使各种类型滚筒的生产，并催生了越来越多关于RM治疗效果及背后原理的研究。尽管RM越来越受欢迎且研究不断，但在诸如描述该干预方法、适应证、注意事项、禁忌证和评估等临床标准方面尚未达成共识。尚无经过同行评审的具体出版物讨论此类标准。这使得临床医生如何将RM研究纳入临床实践方面存在知识空白。本临床评论的目的是讨论RM的拟议临床标准。第一部分将讨论拟议临床标准，第二部分将报告向美国物理治疗协会骨科与运动物理治疗分会的物理治疗（PT）专业会员发送的一份包含20个问题的调查问卷结果。
