The foot massage device to be provided selectively covers, on the one hand, nerve endings in the sole in an optimum manner by reflex zone massage and is better adapted, on the other hand, to the shape of the human foot in order to be able to massage, without any difficulty, even the nerve endings located on the sides of the foot. A foot massage device (1) has a frame (2) in which a plurality of mutually parallel rollers are arranged. They comprise individual rolls (6) freely rotatable on metal rods (4). In the centre of the uppermost roller (3) a toothed wheel (8) is provided and projects radially beyond the rolls (6) which are of essentially identical diameter. The teeth of the toothed wheel (8) are relatively broad. The frame (2) is composed of two flanks (10) which are connected to each other by crossheads. Located on the highest point of the flank (10) there is in each case one cut-out (11) which serves to accommodate a further perpendicular roller (14) which is freely rotatable on a metal rod (13) and comprises two rolls (15) having a toothed surface. By guiding either foot side past the sides and pressing them onto the rolls (15) the nerve endings on the sides of the foot are massaged thoroughly. <IMAGE>
