Abstract: Massage apparatus consisting of a treatment head connected to a suction circuit, the said treatment head comprising a box (B) that can be operated manually, comprising an internal chamber (C) open at its base, which chamber is defined by two fixed side walls (P1, P2) and two transverse surfaces (T1, T2) arranged facing one another between the two side walls (P1, P2), at least one of these surfaces (T1) consisting of the periphery of a roller (1) driven positively in rotation, the suction circuit opening into the said chamber (C) and making it possible to create suction when the apparatus is applied against the body of the patient, which suction tends to form a fold of skin pressing against the transverse surfaces (T1, T2), characterized in that the positive drive of the roller (1) is obtained via a geared motor unit mounted fixed and coaxially inside it, and in which the output shaft (5) of the reduction gear comprises means of coupling to the said roller (1), the said apparatus being associated with means fo

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for restoring the balance of the human body, consisting essentially of a platform (2) for supporting the subject to be treated and capable of being actuated with an oscillating movement. The invention is characterized in that said platform is power-driven and receives its oscillating movement about a central support axis (6), movement associated with a rotational reciprocating movement, the amplitude and the speed of both the oscillation and the rotation being adjustable and capable of being varied while the apparatus is being used.

Abstract: The invention concerns a massage apparatus operating by suction and mobilization of the skin tissue, in the form of a manually operated set (1), essentially comprising a housing connected to a suction source and including an inner chamber (4) open on its surface designed to be in contact with the patient's body and means for exerting a mechanical action on the skin fold formed inside said chamber (4) during the massage. The invention is characterized in that the suction chamber extends transversely over the whole width of the housing and is open at its two lateral ends; the means for exerting a mechanical action consist of at least two mobile sets (7, 8) laterally arranged on each housing (3) side, resting sealed against the side walls and obstructing the lateral openings of the suction chamber.

Abstract: A massage device that includes a casing having a pair of opposed transverse walls and side walls to define an open bottom chamber. The bottom of the transverse walls having convex edges extending the length of the opening. At least one of the transverse walls being capable of moving toward and away from the opposing transverse wall and a suction device is arranged to draw air through the chamber and thus draw skin into said chamber when the device is applied to a patient's body.

Abstract: A massage apparatus including a casing having an open bottom chamber therein. A pair of spaced apart end rollers are rotatably mounted in the chamber so that they ride in sealing contact against two side walls and top wall of the chamber. A suction is applied to the region between the rollers so that a skin fold is created in the chamber between the rollers when the rollers are applied to the skin of a patient.
