Abstract
A device for massaging a body part comprises a plurality of massaging protuberances of various shapes that are attached securely to the inside of a garment. When a person wearing the massage garment sits on a chair or on a bed or couch, the body of the person presses against the massaging protuberances. The resisting force of pressed protuberances works to stimulate the circulatory system and to make muscles or joint supple, so as to relieve pain and tension of the person wearing the massage garment.
