PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a massage machine which moves while giving massage to a part to be treated, such as the arm, leg or the like.SOLUTION: The massage machine has a shell body fitted with play to the body or a part to be treated. Airbags, each of which expands or contracts at a predetermined timing to press the part to be treated, are arranged on the inside the shell body so that the shell body moves with respect to the part to be treated while giving air massage. In particular, the massage machine includes the shell body fitted with a play to the body or a part to be treated, the plurality of or at least three or more airbags arranged on the inside of the shell body which expand and contract to give air massage to the part to be treated, an air supply and discharge device for supplying air to the plurality of airbags, and a controller for controlling the air supply and discharge device. The controller controls the air supply and discharge device to expand or contract the adjacent airbags asynchronously. By doing so, the shell body moves relative to the part to be treated.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】腕や脚などの被施療部に対して、マッサージ具自身が被施療部をマッサージしながら変位するマッサージ具を提供する。【解決手段】被施療部となる肢体に遊嵌状態に装着可能な殻体の内面に、それぞれ所定のタイミングで膨縮して前記被施療部を押圧し、エアマッサージしながら、前記殻体を、前記被施療部に対して変位可能とするエアバッグを配設した。すなわち、被施療部となる肢体に遊嵌状態に装着可能な殻体と、この殻体の内面に配設され、膨縮して前記被施療部をエアマッサージする少なくとも3個以上の複数のエアバッグと、前記複数のエアバッグにエアを供給するエア給排装置と、このエア給排装置を制御する制御装置と、を備え、前記制御装置は、前記複数のエアバッグのうち、隣り合うエアバッグが非同期で膨縮するように前記エア給排装置を制御して、前記殻体を前記被施療部に対して変位可能とした。【選択図】図4
