1. A massaging device comprising:
- a piston;
a massaging head connected to the piston;
the piston having a longitudinal axis;
a motor located on a first side of the longitudinal axis;
an elongated handle located on a second side of the longitudinal axis;
a drive mechanism for moving the piston and massage head; and
a thermally conductive drive housing at least partially surrounding the drive mechanism;
a first cavity at least partially enclosing the thermally conductive drive housing;
a heat sink in thermal conductivity with the thermally conductive drive housing; and
a second cavity at least partially enclosing the heat sink,wherein the first cavity is separated from the second cavity by a barrier that prevents air from flowing between the first and second cavities.
