Abstract: A hand-operated massage device comprises a plurality of massaging elements supported on a shaft for independent rotation about a first axis, and a handle mounted on the shaft to extend along a second axis in an orthogonal direction relative to the first axis. The shaft is bent into a configuration such that an imaginary plane including the first axis and substantially normal to the second axis intersects the handle between front and rear ends of the handle. In this way, the handle is positioned directly over the rotatable massaging elements and extends in a direction of movement of the device.
