A vibration apparatus and also a motor assembly are provided to enhance
vibrational massage therapy and to improve non-impact exercise. In
particular, the motor assembly generates vibrations of differing
amplitudes utilizing a single motor to drive a shaft that, in turn,
rotates an eccentric weight whose rotational axis is non-coaxial with the
shaft's rotational axis. The reversal of the direction in which the motor
rotates the shaft changes the amplitude of the resulting vibrations
communicated to a platform. Thus, vibrational amplitude most suitable for
a particular application or purpose may be selected.
