ABSTRACT:
An improved body massaging device which is particularly suited to massaging the back and spinal area is disclosed. The device comprises a body supporting surface having an axially reciprocable carriage means positioned generally thereabove. A massaging assembly is attached to and extends downwardly from the carriage means. The massaging assembly includes at least one body contacting means operative to exert pressure upon a human body positioned on the body supporting surface while undergoing axial reciprocation along the length of the subject's spine. The body supporting surface may comprise a standard examining table or any other horizontal surface upon which a human being may lie in a generally prone position. The body contacting means of the massaging assembly may comprise two separate rotatable massage wheels positioned such that one wheel will contact the body on each lateral side of the subject's spine while the subject lies in a prone position on the body supporting surface. The device may include a means for continually or incrementally altering the spacing between such massage wheels during the course of a treatment session. Also, the device may include a separate means for continually or incrementally increasing/decreasing the downward pressure applied by the massaging assembly on the body. High pressure limit switches may be provided to prevent over pressurization of the subject's body.
