Abstract (en)

A device (10) for plantar massage comprises support surfaces (11,12) for the soles of the feet under which are placed nozzles (15,16) for controlled emission of water jets. In a first embodiment said support surfaces (11,12) are fixed and the jets are modulated to move over the sole and perform massage cycles. In a second embodiment the support surfaces are represented by idling rollers (122,123) to cause the sole of the feet to slide thereover and perform the massage bringing different areas opposite the jets. In the second embodiment the rollers have advantageously yielding material with roughness performing a further mechanical massage action as the sole of the foot slides thereover.
