1. A massage device, comprising:
- a flexible fluid supply conduit;
at least two massaging projections mounted in relation to the fluid supply conduit, the at least two massaging projections each having at least one surface adapted to contact a skin surface of a user;
1 at least one chamber positioned in fluid communication with the fluid supply conduit;
at least one impeller positioned in the at least one chamber and capable of rotating relative to the fluid supply conduit;
the fluid conduit having at least one outlet positioned proximate to the impeller for contacting the at least one impeller with a fluid, wherein the fluid causes the impeller to rotate; and
at least one weight rotationally coupled to the impeller, a center of mass of the at least one weight arranged off-center to a rotational axis of the impeller causing the at least two massaging projections to move in an oscillatory motion relative to the fluid supply conduit, wherein a user can move the massage device attached to the flexible fluid supply conduit to provide a massaging action to different areas of the user'"'"'s body.

Abstract
A massage device for creating a massaging action. The massage device may include at least two massaging projections mounted in relation to a flexible fluid supply conduit, such as a shower hose. The device may include a chamber for containing an impeller, and the fluid supply conduit may include an outlet for fluid to contact the impeller and cause the impeller to rotate. At least one weight is disposed in the head and is coupled to the impeller eccentric to a rotational axis of the impeller for moving the projection in an oscillatory motion, which creates the massaging action. The head may be supplied on a handle, or along the fluid supply conduit.
