Abstract

A water pressure driven massage apparatus has a casing carrying a plurality of captive massage members in the form of balls. The balls are mounted in guide passages with some clearance to move inwardly and outwardly with respect to the casing. When the device is pressed against a body part to be massaged, the balls are pushed back against an eccentric projection on a water-driven turbine, causing them to follow a periodic massaging stroke. When not pressed against a user, the balls are forced by water pressure to an outermost position at which the guide passages are sealed by the balls against flow and the water then passes through spray jet guides are provided in the surface of the casing.
