A massage apparatus providing a pulsed electromagnetic field may comprise: a massage unit which comprises a mount frame provided so as to be movable along the body of a user, and an acupressure module protrudingly provided to the mount frame so as to apply pressure to the body of the user; a pulsed electromagnetic field generator which is provided to the mount frame so as to be independent from the acupressure module, and which generates a pulsed electromagnetic field by means of power applied thereto; and a controller which controls the operation of the acupressure module or the generation of the pulsed electromagnetic field. According to such massage apparatus, a pulsed electromagnetic field may be generated by having the pulsed electromagnetic field generator be provided to the massage unit so as to be separate from the acupressure module or air cells performing a massaging operation. In addition, an effect such as body tissue cell activation or damaged cell healing of the pulsed electromagnetic field may be provided when the massaging operation is being performed. Thus, compared to when only a pulsed electromagnetic field is provided without a massaging operation, or when only a continuous electromagnetic field is provided, fatigue of a user may be alleviated, or a disease or illness treatment or prevention effect may be doubled. In addition, since the pulsed electromagnetic field generator is arranged so as to be independent from the acupres sure module or air cells, the range of effects of the electromagnetic field may be expanded so as to include providing a pulsed electromagnetic field to even nearby sites to which pressure is not applied by the acupressure module or air cells, and since the pulsed electromagnetic field generator may be independently detached or replaced, costs for managing the massage apparatus may be reduced.

A massaging device with linearly adjustable nodes that conform to different bodies and treatment regimens, capable of simultaneously massaging both the neck and upper back of a user. The device requires no effort or force on the part of the user to hold the device in position or to apply pressure.

An adjustably tensioned roller massage system provides a pair of roller massage assemblies in opposed adjustable tensioned or spaced relation to allow engagement of each one of a pair of roller massage assemblies on a corresponding massageable portion of a body.

A massage tool includes a spherically-shaped muscle ball element, a cylindrical central handle element, a discoid-shaped skin brace element, and a pin-pointer element. The massage tool allows for both general and targeted massage of various body parts. For example, the spherically-shaped muscle ball element can be used for general massage to aid in relaxing muscles; and the pin-pointer element can be used for targeted massage of particularly tense muscle fibers (muscular knots). The cylindrical central handle element can also double as a shoulder roller for releasing tension in the shoulders.

An adjustably tensioned roller massage system provides a pair of roller massage assemblies in opposed adjustable tensioned or spaced relation to allow engagement of each one of a pair of roller massage assemblies on a corresponding massageable portion of a body.

Proposed is a massage device which can be installed on a seat. The massage device includes a striking unit, a driving unit providing a driving force for driving the striking unit, and an operation unit configured to convert a rotation force provided by the driving unit into a linear motion to linearly move the striking unit.

A massage unit includes a treatment member; an arm that supports the treatment member; a drive shaft that supports the arm and causes the treatment member to approach and be separated with respect to a treatment target site; a movable portion that causes the treatment member to be operable in a direction of being separated from the treatment target site when the treatment member comes into contact with the treatment target site by a force equal to or greater than predetermined strength; and biasing means for biasing the treatment member in an approaching direction.

A sturdy portable massage roller that collapses flat. The roller includes an outer contact skin formed of a plurality of longitudinal stiffeners connected by longitudinally-extending hinge points, the contact skin defining an inner cavity. A collapsible support structure within the contact skin inner cavity is sized to contact and radially support the longitudinal stiffeners in the expanded shape of the contact skin, and is adapted to collapse so that the massage roller converts between a generally cylindrical expanded shape and a collapsed, flattened shape. The support structure may include a series of rigid discs that either pivot or are folded in half to convert the massage roller between its expanded and flat configurations.

A massage device includes a handle device having two end portions, two hand grips attached to the end portions of the handle device, and two spring biased lock devices are engaged into the end portions of the handle device and each include a projection for engaging with the handle device and for extending out of the handle device and for preventing the hand grips from being disengaged from the handle device. An arm is attached to one of the end portions of the handle device, and includes a sleeve for engaging onto the handle device and for engaging with one of the spring biased lock devices. One or more massage members are detachably attached to the end portions of the arm.

There are provided a massaging apparatus capable of providing comfortable kneading and massaging effects and reducing damage to a cover covering massaging elements, and a chair massager having the massaging apparatus.

The massaging apparatus comprises horizontally arranged paired massaging members (10,11) having massaging elements (91 to 94) and a massaging mechanism (12) for producing kneading action by operating at least one of the massaging members (10,11) so that the massaging elements (91 to 94) have horizontal approaching-separating movement. The massaging member (10,11) includes an arm member (15,16) extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of approaching-separating movement. The massaging element (91 to 94) is attached to the tip of the arm member (15,16) for rotation about the axis of an extension line (L) extending along the extending direction of the arm member (15,16) and about an axis pointing in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extension line (L).
