Claim 13:
14. A massage appliance comprising:
a handle portion and a distal portion, the distal portion being located distal of the handle portion;
a flexible diaphragm having a moving part and peripheral edge, the peripheral edge being mounted to the distal portion of the massage appliance such that the moving part is free to move in at least two dimensions while the peripheral edge remains stationary;
a vibration generator mounted to the moving part of the flexible diaphragm;
a massage node mounted to the moving part of the flexible diaphragm, the massage node being vibrated when power is applied to the vibration generator;
wherein a perimeter of the peripheral edge surrounds a perimeter of the moving part, with the movable part being nested concentrically within the peripheral edge; and
wherein the flexible diaphragm provides vibration isolation between the moving part thereof and the peripheral edge thereof that when power is applied to the vibration generator and the massage node is vibrated, vibration at the massage node is decoupled from the handle portion.
