On the other hand, considering the operation of the conventional massage belt, the front and side parts of the belt part 1420 cover the entire waist area and operate. However, since the vibration is transmitted as a whole, it was confirmed that it is difficult to apply to the exact part in muscle relaxation and stretching, and there is a problem in that the movement is dispersed.

In order to improve this, in the present invention, the side of the belt part 1420 is in close contact with the body, but the front frame 1110 is formed by forming a gap (g) so that the front side does not contact or by configuring the connection part 1440 to reduce the contact pressure. A configuration to support was derived. In the prior art, in order to completely adhere to the waist, the waist must be brought into close contact with the inner circumference of the front side and a load applied, whereas in the present invention, the connection part 1440 forms pressure toward the inner circumference of the belt part 1420 by a predetermined elastic restoring force. Therefore, it should be noted that there is an advantage in that the user can adhere to the waist even in a comfortable standing or sitting position without pulling the body back.

As shown in the illustrated example, the direction the user directs may be the rear side where the rear frame 1200 is placed, the front side where the front frame 1110 is placed to massage the stomach or thighs, and also toward the stomach or the side toward the side. You could also have them massage the lumbar region.
