The massaging apparatus may further include a support body for pressing the body portion. At least one massaging opening is formed in the support body for alignment with the specific location of a body portion placed on the support body. The massaging mechanism is provided inside the support body so that an upper end of the pressing member is projecting outward through the massaging opening.
