The invention relates to a massage device (1) comprising at least one massage section (2) with an essentially cylindrical rubber-elastic outer sheath (3), with at least one electromotive drive (4) arranged in the massage device (1) and non-rotatably mounted therein, and with a device (5) arranged in the massage section (2) and non-rotatably mounted therein for generating deformations of the rubber-elastic outer sheath (3), wherein the device (5) comprises a multitude of plunger guides (7) extending radially to the massage section (2) and supporting plungers (8) therein, and a cam shaft connected with the electromotive drive (4) and acting on the ends of the plungers (8) facing away from the rubber-elastic outer sheath (3), thereby the plungers (8) being radially moved towards the massage section (2), and wherein the rubber-elastic outer sheath (3) is connected with the ends of the plungers (8) of the rubber-elastic outer sheath (3) facing towards the rubber-elastic outer sheath (3). As an alternative to the plungers, eccentric wheels (29) with roller wheels (31) supported on eccentric bearing pins (30) may be used.
