This massage machine is a chair type massage machine and comprises a body 1, and an input device 2 for inputting various instructions to the body 1. The body 1 has a massage unit 10 and a controller 11 for controlling the massage unit 10. The controller 11 comprises a MPU 100 and a memory 101, and is electrically connected to the input device 2 and the massage unit 10. The memory 101 comprises a EEPROM 101A, which is a nonvolatile memory and stores massage programs for controlling the massage unit 10 and other mechanisms (not shown), and a RAM 101B, which is a volatile memory and temporarily stores a change of a parameter of the massage program inputted from the input device 2 during the execution of the massage program. The change of the parameter stored in the RAM 101B is written into the EEPROM 101A upon completion of a massage course, and the EEPROM 101A stores the change of the parameter while making it correspond to the each user registered by the input device 2.
