1. A massaging system comprising:

  • a vest unit including a hook and pile covered interior surface entirely covered with the hook and pile fastener material and at least one user-adjustable, massaging and heat unit compression band attached to an exterior of the vest unit;

    at least one heating pad unit including a heating pad connecting jack, hook and pile fastener strips on a first exterior surface of the heating pad exterior that are complementary with the hook and pile covered interior surface of the vest unit, and a vibration unit hook and pile fastener attaching section provided on a second exterior surface that is the same hook and pile material as the hook and pile covered interior surface of the vest unit;

    multiple vibration units, each vibration unit having a vibration unit connecting jack and hook and pile fastener strips on the exterior thereof that are complementary with the hook and pile covered interior surface of the vest unit; and

    a control unit including a control circuit housed within a control housing, the control circuit being in electrical connection with a control unit power input plug connectable to a power source;

    a serial mode selector switch, a continuous mode selector switch, a back-and-forth mode selector switch, a vibration speed variable position control switch, a heating pad on/off switch, a heating pad heat intensity variable position heat control switch, and a wiring harness including a cable in connection between the control circuit and multiple vibration unit connecting plus that are each electrically and mechanically connectable to the vibration unit connecting jack of one of the multiple vibration units and at least one heating pad connecting plug that is electrically and mechanically connectable to the heating pad connecting jack;

    said control circuit being programmed such that;

    operating the serial mode selector switch causes the control circuit to serially energize vibration unit connecting plugs one at a time and repeat until either the continuous mode selector switch or the back-and-forth mode selector switch is operated;

    depressing the continuous mode selector switch causes the control circuit to energize vibration unit connecting plugs all at the same time until either the serial mode selector switch or the back-and-forth mode selector switch is operated; and

    depressing the back-and-forth mode selector switch causes the control circuit to serially energize the vibration unit connecting plugs in a first direction one at a time then reversing to a second direction to serially energize the vibration unit connecting plugs one at a time in the second direction and then repeating until either the serial mode selector switch or the continuous mode selector switch is operated.
