Abstract: A computer controlled message device which can massage the entire body or any selected portion thereof. The massage may be generated by a standardized program or by an individualized program created by the user. The movement of the applicator is controlled simultaneously and independently in all three axes, transversely across the boy (X axis), longitudinally along the length of the body (Y axis) and vertically on the contour of the body (Z axis). The device can also detect the perimeter of the body and prevent the massage applicator from moving beyond the outer perimeter of the body. Furthermore, a manual control system is incorporated which enables the user to override and change the parameters inserted by the program or to insert an individualized massage routine.
