PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically fix the shoulder position easily and accurately by the continuous two-stage shoulder position detection: first by finding the information on the body size of a massaged person and the information on the measured shoulder position, and next by the re-detection of the shoulder position after the first stage. SOLUTION: The massage chair is for determining the shoulder position by finding the information on the body size of the massaged person M based on the load received from each region of the massaged person M. The shoulder position is recognized based on the information on the body size. The massage chair has a shoulder position fixing means 3 for finding a fixed shoulder position. The shoulder position fixing means 3 moves a massaging unit 1 in the direction of projection at the recognized shoulder position, measures the load applied to the projecting massaging unit 1 from the massaged person M, and determines whether the recognized shoulder position is the shoulder position or not after the shoulder position is recognized. If it is determined that it is not the shoulder position, the shoulder position fixing means 3 moves a massaging part 2 with the massaging unit 1 upward/downward, measures the load applied to the projecting massaging unit 1 from the massaged person M, and finds the fixed shoulder position.
