Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009007597A1] The invention relates to a massage method implemented in a massage apparatus including a massage tool (2) and a force sensor (3), wherein said method comprises: measuring with the sensor (3) a main force (FZ) applied by the patient on the massaging tool in a main force direction (Z); correcting a position of the massage tool along the main force direction (Z), the correction being based on the measured main force (FZ). By correcting the position of the tool along the main force direction, the force between the patient and the massage tool is modified in the direction of the main force and said force is thus controlled. The invention also relates to a massage apparatus implementing said method. The invention is particularly intended for muscular massaging apparatuses in kinesitherapy.
