Abstract: Massage appliance for the punctual massage of individual regions of the human body, especially of the reflex zones of the soles of the feet, having a massage pin (10) which can be set vibrating (stroke movements) and is simultaneously displaceable along a closed, preferably circular path (rotary movement), the direction of vibration (stroke direction) corresponding substantially to the axial direction of the massage pin (10). The massage pin (10) is connected to a vibratory body (24) which is engaged by a crank (25) drivable by a electric motor (19) via a reduction gear (21, 23). Associated with the vibratory body (24) is a vibration apparatus (stroke apparatus) consisting of a guide lever (26) which is secured beneath the vibratory body (24) to an axially slidable rod (27).
