In addition, the massager according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a remote controller 130 capable of operating the control device 700. [ The remote controller 130 may be a wired remote controller or a wireless remote controller. A wireless remote controller is shown in Fig.

Hereinafter, a method of using the massager according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

For a stretching massage of the human body, i.e., the upper body, first, the user lies down on the mat 100 with the mat 100 placed on the floor. At this time, the mat 100 is positioned to support the upper body of the user.

Thereafter, the user turns on the power of the control device 700 by pressing the power button, for example, among the driving buttons of the control device 700, and presses the first driving button to operate the filling material supplying device 300. You can then press the Select button. At this time, the selection button may be a button that is set such that a plurality of expansion members 120 are sequentially expanded for a predetermined time. In such a case, the control device 700 may control the filler supply device 300 in the control circuit portion to expand the expansion member 120 for a predetermined time. At this time, the time during which the plurality of expansion members 120 are sequentially expanded can be counted by the timer.

For example, when five expansion members 120 are provided and the expansion time of each expansion member 120 is three minutes, air is first supplied to the first expansion member 120 and the expansion state is maintained for three minutes Air is exhausted from the expansion member 120 after 3 minutes have elapsed after lifting the neck portion of the human body.

Next, air is supplied to the second expansion member 120, and the expansion state is maintained for 3 minutes, so that the air is exhausted from the expansion member 120 when the shoulder portion of the human body is lifted up and extended for 3 minutes.

Air is supplied to the third expansion member 120 and the expansion state is maintained for 3 minutes. When three minutes have elapsed after lifting between the shoulder portion and the back portion of the human body, air is discharged from the expansion member 120, do.

Next, air is supplied to the fourth expansion member 120, and the expansion state is maintained for 3 minutes, so that air is exhausted from the expansion member 120 after 3 minutes have elapsed after lifting the back portion of the human body.

Finally, air is supplied to the fifth expansion member 120, and the expansion state is maintained for 3 minutes, so that the air is exhausted from the expansion member 120 after 3 minutes have elapsed after lifting the waist portion of the human body.

Such a stretching massage process of the human body is illustrative and not particularly limited, and the expansion time of the expanding member 120 can be made longer or shorter than that exemplified. When the expansion member 120 is inflated for a longer time, the time for extending each part of the upper half of the human body can be lengthened, and when the expansion member 120 is inflated to a shorter time, It is possible to repeatedly and rapidly stretch each part of the upper body of the human body while repeating expansion and contraction at a high speed.

On the other hand, when the lower body, that is, the leg is to be massaged, the cuff parts 210 and 220 are worn on the legs of the user so as to cover the entire leg of the user, 2 drive button so that the air pressure supply device 400 is operated.

Thereafter, the air pressure supply device 400 generates a sufficient amount of air to be supplied to all of the massage areas 211, 211 ', 221, and 221' formed on the cuff parts 210 and 220, 211, 211 ', 221, 221') of the user while pressing and releasing air pressure.

The massage of the legs through the cuff portions 210 and 220 can be performed in a plurality of steps by adjusting the intensity of the air pressure. Here, the plurality of steps that can adjust the intensity of the air pressure may be set to three stages in which the degree of discharge of the air pressure supplied into the massage areas 211, 211 ', 221, and 221' is different.

For example, after the air pressure is completely filled in the massage areas 211, 211 ', 221 and 221', the process of discharging and injecting 30% of the air pressure as the first step can be repeated, and as the second step, And 40% of the air pressure can be repeatedly repeated. In the third step, it is possible to repeat the process of discharging and injecting 50% of the air pressure. Therefore, the massage can be performed at a desired stage according to the state of the user's body, for example, the degree of muscle aggregation.

The massager according to the embodiment of the present invention can stretch each part of the human body by repeated expansion and contraction of the expansion member 120 in a lying state above the mat 100, It is possible to stretch the human body in a lying state, thereby allowing the human body to stretch without any special movement of the user.

Since the cuff parts 210 and 220 include independent massage areas that can massage the ankle and the ankle lower part, the user can concentrate the air pressure for each desired site, Star massage can be performed.

In addition, since the upper body and the lower body can be massaged simultaneously, the user can perform a full body massage.

Hereinafter, a massage device according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4, focusing on differences from a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. 4 is a view for explaining a massager according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Is the same as the massage machine according to the embodiment of FIG.

For example, each of the expanding members 120 may be divided into two regions by forming two fraction lines 121 along a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the expanding member 120. In this case, the filler can be injected into each of the divided regions, and for this purpose, the first connecting member 300 can be connected to each of the divided regions. In addition, the control circuit unit may control the filler supplying device 300 so that the filling material is injected into each of the divided areas.

The massager according to another embodiment of the present invention can fill the divided regions of each of the expanding members 120 by filling the filler material and expand each divided region, so that the massage device lifting each part of the human body vertically In addition, it may include a function of twisting and stretching the human body.

For example, when air is supplied to the regions located on the left or right side of the expansion line 120 with respect to the fraction line 121 to expand the body, the left or right side of the body, for example, So that it can be stretched.

As another example, when air is injected into a region located on the left side of a part of the plurality of expansion members 120 on the basis of a fraction line and air is injected into a region located on the right side with respect to the remaining part of the plurality of expansion members 120, , Some of the upper body may be stretched to the left, while others may be stretched to the right.

Therefore, the massager according to another embodiment of the present invention can enhance the stretching effect of the human body.

Hereinafter, a massage device according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5, focusing on differences from a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. 5 is a view for explaining a massage machine according to another embodiment of the present invention.
