The invention relates to physiotherapy and may be used in health and fitness exercises. A massage device for acting on the spinal muscles comprises: interchangeable massage elements and a body with sockets, into which said elements can be mounted said body having three sides, each of which permits mounting of said body on a horizontal surface wherein the planes tangential to each of the sides and coincident with the horizontal surface that provides for the mounting of each of the sides together form a dihedral angle of approximately 60 ± 15 degrees, with all of the dihedral angles adding up to a total of 180 degrees the sides of the body are connected to each other by means of three edge surfaces, each of which has lateral portions for the paraspinal areas of the spine and a medial portion for the spinal column, which is recessed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the body relative to said lateral portions the sockets are situated in the lateral portions of each of the edge areas and the three edge surfaces together with the massage elements mounted in the sockets form massage surfaces that correspond to the position of the spinal organs to be massaged in three regions of the spine. The interchangeability of the massage elements and the use of a range of interchangeable massage heads of different shapes, sizes and firmness provide for precise control of the force, depth and direction of the therapeutic mechanical action to be applied to the paravertebral muscles.
