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.</p> |
