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: A massage machine includes a backrest and a seat, and further includes a treatment unit configured to perform a treatment with respect to a subject; a measurement unit configured to measure beat rates of the subject or an amylase activity in saliva of the subject before and after a predetermined time; and an evaluation portion. The evaluation portion performs an evaluation of the treatment based on a first index indicating a parasympathetic nervous function activity of the subject and a second index indicating a sympathetic nervous function activity of the subject. The first index and the second index are obtained based on the beat rates or the amylase activity before and after the predetermined time.

Abstract: Provided is a massage machine capable of performing a rubbing operation and a pressing operation separately on different areas of the back surface of a body part of a person to be treated while performing the rubbing operation on the side surface of the body part. Specifically provided is a massage machine (M1 (M2)) provided with a rubbing unit (1) comprising a pair of rubbing parts (2, 2) for applying a rubbing massage to a body part of a person to be treated and a rubbing driving part (3) for driving the rubbing parts (2). The rubbing parts (2) comprise a pair of first rubbing parts (12, 12) disposed on both sides of the body part and reciprocating in the direction along the side surface of the body part, and a pair of second rubbing parts (13, 13) disposed on the back surface of the body part and reciprocating in the direction along the back surface of the body part and in the direction crossing the back surface.
