A seat assembly includes a massage system having first and second frame members spaced-apart from one another. One or more wires interconnect the first and second frame members to define a wire array. The individual wires of the wire array are operable between at-rest and contracted conditions. One or more leads are operably coupled to the one or more wires. The leads supply a current to the one or more wires to heat the wires and move the wires from the at-rest condition to the contracted condition. The wire array can be divided into sections that contract and expand together to provide a massage sequence controlled by a controller in a preprogrammed massage feature.
