1. A massage device for an appendage of a person, comprising:
a plurality of enclosures each comprising an outer surface and a hollow interior space, the hollow interior space containing a control circuit, a power source, and a vibrating mechanism;
a plurality of connectors each fixed between two adjacent enclosures of the plurality of enclosures to form a ring with the plurality of enclosures and the plurality of connectors, wherein the plurality of connectors are rigid parts and are adapted to contract or expand to decrease or increase a diameter of the ring to fit around the person's appendage;
wherein each enclosure further includes at least one roller driven by a gear arrangement and at least one motor, the at least one roller adapted to contact the person's appendage and move the enclosure on the person's appendage with the massage device cohesively in one or more directions; and
wherein each enclosure includes a first motor of the at least one motor, for moving the roller via the gear arrangement, and wherein the vibrating mechanism includes a third motor of the at least one motor having an offset weight, and wherein at least half of the enclosures each include a second motor of the at least one motor for contracting or expanding two of the connectors that each terminate within the hollow interior space of the enclosure;
whereby the rollers of at least two of the enclosures are aligned with a longitudinal axis of the person's appendage, and wherein the rollers of at least a second two of the enclosures are orthogonally aligned with the longitudinal axis of the person's appendage,
whereby with the person's appendage fitted through the ring and the connectors retracted such that the enclosures each contact the person's appendage, the rollers move on the person's appendage while the vibration mechanism massages the person's appendage, the massage device being able to roll back and forth along the person's appendage and also spin around the person's appendage.
