This method makes it possible to control a massage device comprising a plurality of localised tactile elements. It comprises: - a step (E10) of obtaining a first audio stream (FA1) - a step (E50) of obtaining tactile signals (ST) from at least one characteristic extracted from the content of said first audio stream (FA1) each of said tactile signals (ST) being sent (E60) to one of said tactile elements (11) depending on the location of same in order to activate said tactile element for a time period and at an intensity according to said tactile signal, the tactile signals (ST) being obtained in such a way that the tactile elements (11) are activated from one to the next so as to create a massage wave propagating in the massage device.
