Abstract

A massage apparatus having a massage plate unit oscillated by electrical drive means, with the oscillatory motion being in the plane of a first component plate. The massage apparatus has a single drive unit and is suitable for administering vibratory as well as percussion massage. The massage plate has two component plates which form, with their upper surfaces, an angle of 270 DEG . The first component plate is oscillated by motion components which act approximately perpendicular to the second component plate, and the second component plate undergoes rising and falling motions in accordance with such motion components.
