Mechanical massage devices began appearing in Europe and the United States in the 19th–20th centuries, initially as simple hand-operated tools. In Japan, electrical and mechanical massage devices became popular in the post-World War II era, incorporating modern technology for home and professional use.
Today, massage devices range from handheld units to full-body chairs, widely used in homes, clinics, and wellness centers worldwide for relaxation and therapy.
