The present invention relates to a massage unit, which contains a vibrator within a flexible long cylindrical piece, so that the user can hold both ends of the unit and apply it freely to any desired site of the body, which could not be reached by the conventional massage unit without the help of another person. The unit can be held on the affected site, and the user can continue office work, cooking or learning, while enjoying the effects of massage. Since the user finds no difficulty in applying and holding the unit to the affected site, the unit can offer more effective massage effects in relaxing the muscle stiffness, enhancing blood circulation, etc. In one embodiment the long massage unit can be bent to any desired shape, which shape is retained by a plastically deformable metal, such that the user can apply the bent long massage unit around any part of the body without having to continue holding the massage unit. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The conventional compact type massage unit as described above is short in length, and the user often feels fatigue on his (or her) hand and arm to hold the massage unit because the vibrator piece must be directly applied on the desired site of the user's body. Particularly, the user finds it difficult to turn round the hand and arm to apply the unit to shoulder, back, etc. or to perform massage for long time because he is forced to take unnatural posture, and the user often needs help from another person. There has been no type of massage unit, which permits the user to perform massage while he (or her) continues to do office work, cooking or studying on desk. In the large-scale massage unit of backrest type or upwardfacing type as described above, the unit is expensive and requires considerable space, and the user cannot perform massage during office work, cooking or studying on desk. The present invention has been conceived with the purpose of solving these problems. The object of this invention is to provide a massage unit, which is long and flexible and can be easily applied by the user to the desired site of his body without feeling fatigue on his hand and arm even when massaging for long time, and the user can continue his work or learning without interrupting the massage.
