A percussive massage device includes an enclosure having a cylindrical bore that extends along a longitudinal axis. A motor has a rotatable shaft that rotates about a central axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A crank coupled to the shaft includes a pivot, which is offset from the central axis of the shaft. A reciprocation linkage has a first end coupled to the pivot of the crank. A piston has a first end coupled to a second end of the reciprocation linkage. The piston is constrained to move within a cylinder along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical bore. An applicator head has a first end coupled to a second end of the piston and has a second end exposed outside the cylindrical bore for application to a person receiving treatment. A motor controller measures current applied to the motor and displays a pressure indicator responsive to the measured current.一種衝擊式按摩裝置包含包體,該包體具有沿著縱向軸線延伸之圓柱形孔。一馬達具有可旋轉軸桿,該可旋轉軸桿繞著垂直於該縱向軸線之中央軸線而旋轉。一曲柄耦合至包含樞軸之軸桿,該樞軸從該軸桿之該中央軸線偏移。一往復連桿具有第一端,其被耦合至該曲柄之該樞軸。一活塞具有第一端,其被耦合至該往復連桿之第二端。該活塞被拘束以在圓筒內沿著該圓柱形孔之該縱向軸線移動。一施力器頭具有第一端及第二端,該施力器頭之該第一端耦合至該活塞之第二端,該施力器頭之該第二端曝露在該圓柱形孔外側以對接受治療之人士施力。一馬達控制器測量施加至該馬達之電流且回應於該測量的電流來顯示一壓力指示器。
