ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for full length and localized massage of a user's body includes a bed structure having a housing defining an interior chamber, a liquid reservoir basin beneath the chamber, and an upwardly-facing opening horizontally across which a resiliently flexible membrane is sealingly affixed in tensioned condition to form a user body support surface. The reservoir basin contains a quantity of a massage liquid, preferably water, with the remainder of the chamber being filled with air. A massage head having multiple liquid emission openings therein is disposed within the chamber for lengthwise traversing travel with the emission openings facing the membrane. A pump communicates with the reservoir basin and with a downstream series of conduits connected to the massage head for withdrawing the massage liquid from the reservoir basin and supplying the liquid under pressure to the massage head for emission against the underside of the membrane to transmit a massaging effect to the body of a user laying thereon.
