A colorful massaging ball structure having an upper and lower hemisphere is provided. A magnetic rod is provided within the center of the enclosure of the hemispheres to add to the therapeutic effects of the device. Along the surface of the hemisphere, a plurality of arch-shaped slide rails are provided having movable massaging element engaged thereon. The movable elements can be slidably moved along the slide rails. A plurality of protrusions on each movable element provides a stimulation of the vital points of the user\s fingers.
