The invention relates to a gymnastics massage device, in particular a foot roller, with between two side parts on parallel axes alternating with smaller rotatable intermediate discs Diameter arranged rotatable wheel disks, which are laterally offset against the wheel disks of the adjacent axles engage in the spaces between these wheel disks.

From physical therapy it is known that a massage as a mechanical action on the human body is to be considered to achieve physiological effects and only in the case of tension-free Absorption is able to fully develop its effect, especially for lymphatic drainage. Under tension is to be understood as a defense reaction of the body against the mechanical effects of the massage.

A tension that can largely cancel out or even completely prevent the success of the massage, comes from the fact that the mechanical action of the so massage over the sensitive stimulus conduction of the autonomous Nervous system triggers a reflex of the motor impulse conduction and thus to an increased Tension in the area of the treated body part. This reflex tension is not a constant one Value, but increases with the depth of penetration of the mechanical action in the body part concerned and the alarm value as a result of the type of mechanical action.

The depth of penetration also depends on the pressure used to impress the treated body part is applied. The reduction in the success of the massage due to the reflexive tension begins from a certain penetration depth or from a certain pressure strength and from a certain one Disturbance value of the mechanical impact, which varies in the individual parts of the body are. From a purely emotional point of view, there is a mechanical effect within the tension-free recording perceived as pleasant and any additional mechanical impact as unpleasant.

The previously known rolling devices for massage purposes are based on their technical design aligned, the deepest possible median effect on the treated body surface to be achieved by means of specially designed shapes or surfaces of the turned parts used, with gaps between the rotating parts used for pressing in the body surface are required by classifying distance or intermediate parts that are not effective for massage or by Gymnastics massagers, in particular foot rollers

appropriate center distances are created. The axes themselves can be rigid or flexible be. It is also known to provide the entire arrangement of the axles resiliently, as well as the rotating parts to be eccentric.

However, the mechanically strong effects caused by these known devices exceed the low maximum values permissible for tension-free absorption and thus lose by the reflex tension value of massage effectiveness. In addition, the deeper the turned parts in the treated part of the body should penetrate, the greater the pressure the treated part of the body should penetrate must be processed and the less the necessary to gain the mechanical action Self-movements can be executed without tension, so that the tension value of these self-movements the massage effectiveness of the mechanical impact further reduces.

The invention is based on the object of providing a gymnastics massage device, in particular a foot roller, to create a massage that can be performed by the autonomic nervous system of the Body is absorbed without tension and gained through tension-free movements, so that after a short treatment time a greater and longer lasting massage success than with previously known such devices is achievable.

This object is achieved in that the difference in diameter between the spherical Wheel disk and the intermediate disk is so large that both disks are simultaneously the body surface to be treated touch and are closely packed one behind the other.

This has the advantage that the contact of the smaller washers with the treated Body part provides an effective stroking massage and so together with the dense arrangement in the

This makes it possible to the third part of the body. The contact between the two, the pressure, kneading and stroking massage around slices with the treated part of the body to expand the brush massage, limits the penetration of the larger wheel disc.

The wall section) of the larger wheel disks in the treated 15 thickness of the wheel disks D corresponds to the width of the body part is not greater than the allowable finger pressure in the hand massage. The maximum values of the running surface penetration depth for a tensioning of the wheel disks D are spherical and those of the intermediate free receptacle must be cylindrical, since the larger number of disks C are cylindrical, whereby the spherical contact surfaces of the rotating parts acting on the intermediate disks C compensate for the reduction in the larger wheel disks . 30 can.
