Abstract

The present invention is a massage device (10) for massaging one or more body parts. The device includes a first paddle (61) extending outward from the side of a housing (78) that is rotatably mounted on a wobble bearing journal (56) of a wobble bearing (72,74); a drive shaft (38) from a rotational motive device (32,34) that is rotationally engaged with a passage (57) of the journal (56), wherein the passage (57) passes through the journal (56) at a non-zero wobble angle (θ) measured between a rotational axis (RA) of the drive shaft (38) and the geometric axis of revolution (CS) of the journal (56); a detaining fin (62) attached to the housing (78) and encompassing a detaining rod (36); and a frame (40) that fixedly holds the detaining rod (36) and rotational holds the drive shaft (38).
