PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a massage device in which an operation unit in a device body part is properly positioned to improve operability and user-friendliness.SOLUTION: A device body part 15 activating pressing means includes, while a pressing part 10 surrounds a prescribed range of the upper limb or the lower limb including a massage object portion to enable massaging by the pressing means, has an operation unit 15a on a surface which is approximately orthogonal to a fitting surface to the pressing part 10, and approximately parallel to the longitudinal direction of the cylinder of the pressing part 10. Even in the case when any portion in the upper limb and the lower limb is the massage object portion, the operation unit 15a can be arranged in a direction where a user easily handles it. Accordingly, the user can surely perform the operation while looking at the operation unit 15a, when the user operates the operation unit 15a, and force to operate the operation unit 15a is not headed toward the upper limb or the lower limb, so that the operation to the operation unit 15a can be performed in a state that the device body part 15 is kept stable, operability can be improved and the operation can be performed properly at all times.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】 装置本体部における操作部の位置を適切なものとして、操作を行いやすくし、装置の使い勝手を向上させられるマッサージ装置を提供する。【解決手段】 押圧部10がマッサージ対象箇所を含む上肢又は下肢の所定範囲を取り囲んで押圧手段でのマッサージを可能とする状態で、押圧手段を作動させる装置本体部15が、押圧部10への取付面と略直交すると共に押圧部10の筒長手方向と略平行となる面に操作部15aを有して、上肢又は下肢のどの箇所がマッサージ対象となる場合でも、操作部15aを使用者の取り扱いやすい向きに配置できることから、使用者が操作部15aを操作する際に、使用者が操作部15aを見ながら確実に操作できると共に、操作部15aを操作する力が上肢又は下肢のある側に向かわないことで、装置本体部15を安定させた状態で操作部15aに対する操作が行え、操作性を向上させて常に適切に操作できる。【選択図】 図1
