• a temperature sensor for sensing a temperature at an outer surface of the contact surface arrangement that is adapted to contact the user's body while providing the therapeutic massage to the user, or
• a pressure sensor for sensing a contact pressure at an outer surface of the contact surface arrangement that is adapted to contact the user's body while providing the therapeutic massage to the user, and wherein
• the computer controller, responsive to executing computer instructions, being adapted to perform the following operations:
• determining a configured pre-set value for rotational motion revolutions per minute (RPM) for the contact surface arrangement to treat the user's body with the therapeutic massage;
• controlling, with the computer controller, the computer-controlled electrical motor, to impart rotational motion to the contact surface arrangement at the configured pre-set value for rotational motion revolutions per minute (RPM), while at least one of:
• the rotational motion sensor generates rotational motion sensor data in response to sensing rotational motion of the contact surface arrangement;
• the temperature sensor generates temperature data in response to sensing temperature at the outer surface of the contact surface arrangement that is adapted to contact the user's body while providing the therapeutic massage to the user;
• or
• the pressure sensor generates contact pressure data in response to sensing contact pressure at the outer surface of the contact surface arrangement that is adapted to contact the user's body while providing the therapeutic massage to the user;
• and
• communicating, with the computer controller, at least one of the rotational motion sensor data, the temperature data, or the contact pressure data, from the motorized therapeutic massage device, over a computer network, to a computer system communicatively coupled to the computer network, wherein the computer system includes one or more of:
• a robotically controlled system, a computer, or a smart phone.
