Embodiment Construction

[0025] Referring to FIGS. 1-7, a massage chair 10 is disclosed having a base frame 20 and a cradle 40 in which a person sits, rotatably mounted to the base frame 20 on cradle bearing means 70 pivoting at a cradle axis A, the cradle 40 including electrically powered oscillators 12 for producing and delivering vibration into the body of a seated person, and having cradle pivot means 80 for pivoting the cradle 40 to a sitting position in which the center of gravity of the seated person is substantially over the cradle axis A to evenly distribute the weight of the person over the cradle 40 upper surface, preventing weight concentration in the body of the person, and for pivoting the cradle to any of numerous reclining positions. The even distribution of body weight diminishes stress and permits fuller relaxation, particularly in the lower back, while at the same time permitting oscillators 12 of low voltage, low frequency and low amplitude to produce the same full massage results requir...
