3. Vibrating massage table ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the sixth cushion ( 10 ), adapted to the ankles and to the feet of the patient, is subdivided into two juxtaposed portions ( 11 , 12 ), said portions ( 11 , 12 ) being activated, in an alternating manner, to vibrate by a driving means ( 13 ), through a transmission belt ( 14 ) and a shaft ( 15 ) in contact, by means of its two ends, with each of said two portions ( 11 , 12 ).

4. Vibrating massage table ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the first ( 5 ), second ( 6 ), third ( 7 ), fourth ( 8 ) and fifth ( 9 ) cushions are each provided with a linear bearing ( 261 ) and are movable with respect to each other by sliding, over a limited stroke, on two parallel rails ( 260 ) located on each side of the table top ( 2 ), said table top ( 2 ) also including means for managing the sliding and capable of limiting the sliding of the movable cushions ( 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ), said means for managing the sliding consisting of jacks equipped with springs provided on each of said movable cushions ( 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ).

5. Vibrating massage table ( 1 ) according to claim 1 wherein means for tilting about a joint ( 4 ) with a central axis ( 40 ) permit an inclination of the table top ( 2 ) by an angle α 2 smaller than or equal to 18° relative to the horizontal, so that the feet of a patient taking place on said table top ( 2 ) are placed at a level higher than that of his head.
