ABSTRACT:
The massager (10) comprises a substantially parallelepiped shaped graspable body having a leading edge which includes a curved central notch (13) with a rounded projection (14, 15) on either side thereof. The curvature of the notch and of each of the projections is such that, when said leading edge of the massager is applied to the back of a person to be massaged, the two projections rest on either side of the spinal column in such a manner as to massage the paravertebral muscles in a manner identical to that provided by the thumbs of a masseur whose shape is imitated by the projections. The rear edge (16) is advantageously provided with a concave curve extending from one side of the massager to the other and suitably dimensioned for providing effective massage of the lower limbs.
