The massage effect is given to the user.

[0004] The pneumatic massage machine gives an appropriate stimulus to the massage affected part of the user by pneumatic pressure, and the bathtub massage machine generates a water flow or air bubbles to cause a moderate change in the massage affected part of the user by the physical change. By giving the stimulus, the simple massage machine gives a moderate stimulus to the affected part of the massage by the user's own power, thereby giving a massage effect to the user.

[0005]

The object of the present invention is to provide a massage to the affected part of the whole body while maintaining a desired comfort treatment posture desired by the user, and an upper arm which has been difficult to perform massage treatment by a conventional mechanical massage machine. It is an object of the present invention to easily apply a massage to a forearm and the like.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems In a completely different manner from the conventional method, as shown in FIG. 4, a user is suspended and held in the air using a plurality of suspension bands, and the height of each suspension band support point is raised. By adjusting the position and the position, the user's posture is maintained in the comfortable treatment posture, the massage operation is given to the suspension band, and the support point movement is given to the suspension band support point as needed, It has been devised so that it can exert a comfortable massage effect.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In order to make it easy for a user to take a comfortable treatment posture when enjoying a massage, and to be able to easily apply a massage to the affected area of the whole body, the user is required to The massage is given to the user by holding the suspension in the air, giving a massage action to the suspension band, and giving a support point motion to the suspension band support point as needed.

[0008]

EXAMPLE As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of suspension bands are used for the head.
For upper right arm, right forearm, left upper arm, left forearm, trunk back, trunk waist, right thigh, left thigh, right lower leg, left lower leg It is divided and installed.

For example, in the case where the user desires the comforting treatment posture on the back so that the respective hanging belt support points can maintain the comforting treatment posture according to the preference of the user. 4, a left thigh suspension band 8 in FIG. 4, a right thigh suspension band 10 in FIG. 4, 9 in FIG.
The left lower leg suspension band of FIG. 4 and the right lower leg suspension band of FIG. 4 are held higher than the other suspension bands of FIG. Adjust the other suspension bands so that they are almost the same height.

[0010] When a massage operation corresponding to the massage affected part is generated at each suspension band support point, the operation is transmitted through the suspension band, and each of the massage affected parts is wrapped around each of the massage affected parts to provide a massage effect.

In order to enhance the massage effect, a support point motion may be applied to each suspension band support point as needed.

When the user wishes to perform treatment in a prone state, the height and position of each suspension band support point may be adjusted so as to maintain the comforted treatment posture in the prone state.

[0013]

According to the present invention, the user is suspended and held in the air by the suspension band, and while maintaining the desired comfort treatment posture, the massage operation given to the suspension band, and the support point of the suspension band support point. Exercise can provide a massage effect for each affected part of the body. In addition, it becomes easier to massage the muscles of the upper arm and the forearm, which have been difficult to perform massage treatment using a conventional mechanical massage machine.
