Claim:
An apparatus for massaging calves, comprising: at least two pairs of associated two plates that are arranged at a distance from one another and that come into contact with the calf during massage on both sides thereof, a drive shaft, each of the associated plates being connected to the drive shaft by coupling members in such a manner that a rotational movement of the drive shaft brings about a movement of the plates for carrying out the calf massage, wherein one of the two coupling members of each pair of associated plates is held displaceably on the drive shaft, while the other coupling member of each pair of associated plates bears against a stationary abutment, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting a distance between the two associated plates of each pair corresponding to a size of the calf to be massaged, the adjustment mechanism comprising an operating member for a common adjustment of the two pairs of associated plates by displacing a displaceable abutment of each pair of plates.
