<p>A pressure-sensing massage machine that resolves the problems of difficult assembly and adjustment and the occurrence of operational errors common to a sensing mechanism that uses many components and devices. The massage machine of the present invention is able to monitor the pressure applied to the massage recipient by a motor-driven movably extending massaging member (48). A flexible member (81) is provided in the transmission located between the massage member and the motor that drives the massage member (48), and a pressure sensing mechanism (8) monitors the pressure applied to the massage recipient through the flexible displacement of the flexible member. <IMAGE></p>
