Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9107939A1] A massage apparatus consisting of an enclosure which includes supply and discharge devices for a fluid which is intended to apply pressure to the walls of said enclosure. These walls are made of flexible and/or resilient material and are designed to impart said pressure or a variant of said pressure to the limb, the organ or the surface to be massaged. The apparatus is characterized in that said wall has different deformable areas under pressure which are unevenly spread over its surface. These areas may for example define the outlines of cells or pockets (S) which are formed between two laps (1, 2) by point integration (P).
