Abstract: A warm air massager for heating and massaging a body part includes a massage node which includes openings for directing streams of heated air to the body part being massaged. The body part is massaged by the reciprocating motion of the massage node produced by an internal massage motor. The massage motor may rotate to cause an eccentric connector to impart reciprocating motion to a shaft coupled to the massage node. The massage motor may be located within the housing, within the massage node, or there may be multiple massage motors located in each of the housing and the massage node. Intake ambient air enters the massage housing by means of a fan which withdraws ambient air from outside, directs the ambient air through a heater element and directs streams of the heated air through the massage node to the body part being massaged. Each of the fan, the heater element and the massage motor or motors may include multiple settings. The fan and massage motor are preferably separately controlled.

Abstract: A massage system is provided that includes a motor, at least one bellows and at least one inflatable bladder connected to each bellows. Each bellows has an extended position and a retracted position, wherein operation of the motor causes each bellows to move between the extended and retracted positions. When each bellows is moved from the extended to the retracted position, air is expelled from the bellows and enters a corresponding one of the at least one inflatable bladder and when each bellows is moved from the retracted to the extended position, air is extracted from a corresponding one of the at least one inflatable bladder and enters the bellows.
