A massaging apparatus comprising:
- a main frame including an upright guiding rail unit extending in a longitudinal direction, and a mounting seat mounted slidably on said guiding rail unit;
- a drive unit mounted on said main frame for driving said mounting seat to move along said guiding rail unit in the longitudinal direction;
- a massage unit mounted on said mounting seat and including a massage rod having a head portion, and a motor having an output shaft journalled on said mounting seat and connected to said massage rod for driving eccentric rotation of said massage rod relative to said output shaft;
- and
- a control unit connected electrically to said drive unit and said motor of said massage unit for controlling said drive unit and said motor of said massage unit so that said head portion of said massage rod is moved to a desired position through movement of said mounting seat so as to contact a user's body at a desired acupuncture point and that said motor of said massage unit drives said massage rod to rotate at a desired speed, wherein said drive unit includes
- a bi-directional motor connected electrically to and controlled by said control unit, and having a motor shaft journalled on said main frame;
- a transmission wheel set disposed rotatably on said main frame and rotatable in response to operation of said bi-directional motor;
- and
- a transmission belt trained on said transmission wheel set and said motor shaft of said bi-directional motor and having opposite ends connected to said mounting seat of said main frame.

A massaging apparatus comprising:
- a main frame including
- an upright first guiding rail unit extending in a longitudinal direction and having opposite elongate lateral rail rods spaced apart from each other in a transverse direction transverse to the longitudinal direction,
- a second guiding rail unit mounted slidably on said first guiding rail unit, and including two parallel elongate second rail rods that extend in the transverse direction and that are disposed spacedly between said lateral rail rods of said first guiding rail unit, and
- a mounting seat mounted slidably on said second rail rods of said second guiding rail unit;
- a first drive unit mounted on said main frame for driving said second guiding rail unit to move along said lateral rail rods of said first guiding rail unit in the longitudinal direction;
- a second drive unit for driving said mounting seat to move along said second rail rods in the transverse direction;
- a massage unit mounted on said mounting seat and including a massage rod having a head portion, and a motor having an output shaft journalled on said mounting seat and connected to said massage rod for driving eccentric rotation of said massage rod relative to said output shaft;
- and
- a control unit connected electrically to said first drive unit, said second drive unit and said motor of said massage unit for controlling said first drive unit, said second drive unit and said motor of said massage unit so that said head portion of said massage rod is moved to a desired position through movement of said mounting seat and said second guiding rail unit so as to contact a user's body at a desired acupuncture point and that said motor of said massage unit drives said massage rod to rotate at a desired speed.
