  • the plate 2 of the vibrating massage table 1 can also tilt around its central axis 4 according to the angle ⁇ 2 as illustrated on the figure 3 , which gives a particularly important modularity to said table 1.
  • the whole of the plate 2 rocks around the central axis 4 (or not) for an inclination of the plate 2 by an angle ⁇ 2 less or equal to 15 ° with respect to the horizontal, then that the portion 22 of the plate 2 is still inclined through the articulation axis 41 by an angle ⁇ 1 which can also go up to 15 °.
  • the articulation axis 41 between the two portions 21, 22, constituting the plate 2, and the central axis 4 for the tilting of the whole of the plate 2 are thus preferably juxtaposed and parallel.
  • the first portion 21 of the plate 2 comprises said first cushion 5, said second cushion 6 and said third cushion 7 while the second portion 22 of plate 2 comprises said fourth cushion 8, said fifth cushion 9 and said at least one sixth cushion 10.
  • the two portions 21, 22 of the plate 2 can be of equal or substantially equal length, however, it is also possible, always with reference to the figures 2 and 3 , that the length of the first portion 21 of the plate is greater, even slightly, than the length of the second portion 22 of the plate 2.
  • At least one of these cushions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 is movable in sliding with respect to the others, for example along a longitudinal axis to the plate 2 of the table 1.
  • At least one of the transverse cushions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 is movable relative to the other cushions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 by sliding on two parallel rails, located on each side of the plate 2.
  • the first four cushions 5, 6, 7 and 8 respectively adapted to the patient's head, thorax, lumbar, pelvis and thighs, which are mounted movable relative to each other, and this on two parallel rails located on each side of the plate 2 of the massage table 1 according to the invention.
  • This last characteristic advantageously allows, when tilting the plate 2 of the table 1 and under the pressure of the patient's body extended on said plate 2, that the cushions 5, 6, 7 and 8 accompany the extension of the body by sliding especially along the rail.
  • this makes it possible to prevent the various parts of the patient's body, following the extension of the body due to gravity, from slipping out of the cushions 5, 6, 7 and 8.
  • the body nevertheless has innate faculties making it possible to limit this extension.
  • the massage table 1 also comprises means for managing the sliding, not shown in the appended figures.
  • Said sliding management means are preferably associated with each of the cushions movable longitudinally, for example the four cushions 5, 6, 7 and 8, so as to allow a limitation of the sliding of these cushions.
  • the presence of these integrated means therefore makes it possible to manage the sliding of cushions which can be mobile, in particular the cushions 5, 6, 7 and 8, so that these follow the natural movement of the patient's body at the time of its extension during the tilting of the plate 2 of the table 1.
  • the sliding management means are also useful when returning the table 1 to a horizontal position, at the end of the treatment session, when the patient's body is under compression. Thanks to the action of these means, the compression of the body takes place smoothly.
  • said sliding management means capable of limiting the sliding of the mobile cushions, in particular the cushions 5, 6, 7 and 8, consist of jacks fitted to each of said cushions.
  • the cushions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 can vibrate in a similar way, in other words according to the same frequency and the same intensity, whereas, when they are dissociated, they are likely to vibrate differently, according to their position under the patient's body.
  • the table 1 of the invention is also equipped with a central management unit at least for the height and / or the inclination of the cushions and, if necessary, for the articulation angle ⁇ 1 of the two portions 21 , 22 of the plate 2 as well as for the management of the tilt angle ⁇ 2.
  • This central management unit is also able to control the vibration parameters of the cushions, in particular the frequency and the intensity, by controlling the motor means vibrating activating the sixth cushion 10, more particularly one and / or the other of the juxtaposed portions 11, 12 of this sixth cushion.
  • this table 1 comprises means capable of allowing the formation of one or more segment (s) of cushions
  • the central management unit is able to control the intensity and the frequency of the vibrations imparted to each of these cushion segments.
  • This unit is for example in the form of control electronics, associated with software, making it possible to adapt, preferably, automatically the positioning of the table 1 and its cushions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, to the patient's morphology, in particular his height and weight, this information being entered into the software manually.
  • a balance can, for example, be connected in connection with the central management unit, or an automatic weight sensor can be incorporated into table 1.
  • the massage table 1 according to the invention may also include at least one anti-jamming system fitted to each of the cushions, to prevent the patient from pinching their fingers during the movement of said cushions in sliding relation to each other. .
  • the vibrating massage table 1 advantageously makes it possible to combine a treatment of the human body by the vibrations, propagated through the cushion 10, with a greater or lesser inclination of the body, made possible by the tilting of the plate 2, and allowing stretching of the body by gravity.
  • the mobility by longitudinal sliding in particular of the first four cushions 5, 6, 7 and 8 makes it possible on the one hand to gently support the extension of the body by gravity and on the other hand to prevent this extension causing a sliding of the patient's body parts out of the appropriate cushions.
  • Such a decompression makes it possible to favor a micro-oxygenation of the intervertebral joints which is generally accompanied by a decompression of the spinal nerves (also called spinal nerves), which are in particular responsible for the sensitivity and the motor skills of the members.
  • the propagation of the vibratory waves from one of the extremities of the human body makes it possible to avoid the establishment of a defensive physiological state in the patient, this which can occur for example when several parts of the body vibrate simultaneously or when the vibrations are transmitted through the patient's head.
  • the vibrating massage table 1 according to the invention can advantageously be used for therapeutic purposes; indeed, the association between the vibrations and the stretching of the body by gravity accompanied by a displacement of the cushions, for example cushions 5 to 8, makes it possible in particular to deal with problems of protrusion of the intervertebral discs, ranging from simple disc protrusion to the herniated disc.
  • the present vibrating massage table 1 can be used before and / or after a more or less intense physical effort.
  • the characteristics of said table 1 will allow a particularly interesting relaxing effect for the body of the treated patient, and in particular at the musculoskeletal complex level.
  • the vibrating massage table 1 has both a preventive application and a curative application for a patient.
