Therefore, when the motor operation unit 402 operates the driving member 200, the massage member 300 moves reciprocatingly from the first position to the second position. That is, the massage member 300 can intensively massage only the user's vertebrae.

And, as the massage member 300 moves, the control member 400 compares the load change amount measured by the load change amount measuring unit 404 with the first position and the second position set in the spine position setting unit 419 to determine whether they match. It includes a position determination unit 418 that makes the determination.

If the position determination unit 418 determines that the load change amount does not match the first position and the second position, the spine position setting unit 419 determines a new load change amount currently measured in the load change amount measuring unit 404. Set the first and second positions.

For example, when the user moves his or her position during the process of receiving a massage, the control member 400 sets new first and second positions, so that the massage member 300 can massage the user's body with accurate pressure. You can.

And the control member 400 determines the first load change generated by friction between the vertebrae and the first load change generated by friction between the vertebrae in the load change amounts confirmed through the load change amount measurement unit 404 in the spine length confirmation unit 416. When the first load change amount is confirmed by the load change amount confirmation unit 420 and the load change amount check unit 420, which checks the second load change amount, the massage roller 330 of the massage member 300 is tilted so as to come into close contact with the vertebrae. When the member 310 lowers the tilt axis 320 and the second load change amount is confirmed by the load change amount confirmation unit 420, the tilt member so that the massage roller 330 of the massage member 300 is brought into close contact between the vertebrae. (310) includes a massage member operating unit 422 that raises the tilt axis 320.

Therefore, when the tilt member 310 lowers the tilt axis 320, the massage roller 330 massages the vertebrae with appropriate pressure without being strong, and when the tilt member 310 raises the tilt axis 320, the massage roller (330) massages the vertebrae with appropriate pressure. 330) Massages between the vertebrae with appropriate pressure without being weak.

In addition, the control member 400 has a body condition confirmation unit 424 that confirms the body condition measured by the body condition measurement unit 120 of the bed member 100, and a body condition confirmed by the body condition confirmation unit 424. A reference body state setting unit 426 that sets a reference body state for comparison, and a central position setting unit 428 that sets a concentrated position between the first and second positions set in the spine position setting unit 419. ) and a physical condition determination unit 430 that compares the physical condition confirmed in the physical condition confirmation unit 424 with the reference physical condition to determine whether it matches.
