Abstract: Massage mechanisms of a massage machine individually include a pair of left and right treatment members provided along a height direction of the massage machine. A first massage mechanism is disposed on a relatively upper side, and a second massage mechanism is disposed on a relatively lower side. A control means that controls operations of the first and second massage mechanisms. The control means controls advancing/retreating drive portions such that the treatment members of the first massage mechanism and the treatment members of the second massage mechanism advance or retreat at speeds different from each other such as with a time lag.

Abstract: In a chair-type massage machine equipped with a seat section and a backrest section provided backwardly of this seat section and a pillow section (5) provided above the above-mentioned backrest section, shoulder outside air cells (21), shoulder inside air cells (22), shoulder lower air cells (23) and neck air cells (20) are disposed, and these air cells (20) to (23) are controlled independently of one another, thereby performing treatment operations at plural portions of the user.

Abstract: A chair-type massaging apparatus of the present invention, including a massaging element that is mounted in a back rest configured to support a back of a user and is configured to be movable in a substantially forward and backward direction to apply stimulation to the back, a control device that includes a grip that is tilted by the user to be displaceable from a predetermined neutral position in the forward and backward direction substantially corresponding with the direction in which the massaging element moves and is configured to output a signal indicating a displacement of the grip, and a controller configured to, based on the signal from the control device, execute control to move the massaging element in a direction substantially corresponding with a direction in which the grip is operated to move.
