Routine use is an important for health maintenance by home health care device. Therefore, lightness and usability are important factor for massage device. In this research, the purpose is development of the wearable massage device for stiff shoulder which we can use without limiting posture by the active fitting function. We use pneumatic soft actuator for mechanism of the massage device. We use contractile type soft actuator for active fitting function and expansion type soft actuator for massage ball. The evaluation experiment of the massage device shows effective possibility. In this paper, we will describe the structure of the massage device.
