Claim:
1. An exothermic massage implement, comprising: a rigid heat conducting vessel comprising a hollow rolling pin having an inner chamber surrounded by a wall with an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the hollow rolling pin is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with a plurality of opposed end portions and a plurality of handles operatively connected to respective opposed end portions, wherein the wall comprises at least a portion of the substantially cylindrical shape of the hollow rolling pin; and a reactant encapsulated completely within a liquid-permeable pouch formed by a liquid permeable membrane, wherein the liquid-permeable pouch is removably positioned inside the inner chamber of the vessel; wherein a liquid activator is chemically combined with the reactant by permeating the liquid-permeable pouch, wherein the exothermic massage implement is self-heating by chemically combining the reactant and the liquid activator to generate an exothermic reaction that heats and maintains the wall at a substantially constant elevated temperature for a duration of time.
