Claim:
1. A relaxation device comprising: a resting platform having a generally planar surface; a frame assembly supporting the resting platform, the frame assembly having at least one rail extending along an axis oriented along the width of the resting platform; a frame support for supporting the frame assembly above the ground, the frame support having a rail guide extending along an axis oriented along the width of the resting platform, the at least one rail slidably mounted to the rail guide; a motor having a rotary output; and a side-to-side mechanism, the side-to-side mechanism operatively connected to the rotary output and the frame assembly, the side-to-side mechanism translating the rotation of the rotary output into a side to side movement of the frame assembly so as to move the at least one rail side to side along the rail guide, wherein the side-to-side mechanism is a cam assembly having a cam, a cam arm orthogonal to the cam, and a cam guide, the cam guide fixedly mounted to the at least one rail, the cam guide having a slot extending orthogonal to the cam, the slot defining a cam path, the cam path directing the cam along an axis, the cam path being generally orthogonal to the cam and parallel to the at least one rail, the cam operatively disposed within the slot so as to travel along the axis defined by the cam path, the cam arm fixedly mounted to the rotary output so as to rotate the cam arm, wherein the cam is moved along the cam path further moving the at least one rail between opposing ends of the rail guide so as to move the resting platform in a side-to-side manner.
