A rotary massaging device for palpating muscle spasms comprising a variable speed power means having a flexible drive shaft operably connected thereto for transmitting rotary motion to a remotely disposed massaging element. The massaging element includes a rigid shaft having one end thereof connected with the flexible drive shaft, the other shaft end being connected coaxially with a disk having a protruding, rounded knob eccentrically affixed thereto being adapted for kneading contact with a patient's skin. The massaging device includes a handle having a central aperture therethrough within which the shaft is rotatably mounted, and an outer handle surface adapted for grasping by the operator's hand. The operator of the device measures the patient's pulse rate, adjusts the rotational speed of the power means to correspond therewith, and applies the massaging head to the patient's skin in the area of the muscle spasm, thereby relieving the discomfort.
