Abstract
A massage apparatus, comprising: a base member having front and rear massage surfaces, each surface having a pattern of projections for transmitting vibrations; a vibrator for the massage surfaces; first support members formed integrally with and extending from the base member and forming walls of a vessel having the front surface as a bottom; and, second support members extending from the base member opposite to the first support members, the first and second support members holding the base member at an inclined angle such that when the massage apparatus rests on the first support members the rear massage surface can be placed to slope upwardly and away from a user for a dry massage and when the massage apparatus rests on the second support members the front massage surface can be placed to slope upwardly and away from a user for a dry massage when the vessel is empty and a wet massage when the vessel is filled with water, whereby a user may choose between a wet and dry massage and between dry massage by either massage surface merely by reversing the apparatus.
