Apparatus for carrying out treatments on the human body

Apparatus for carrying out treatments on the human body, which comprises:

• a central unit (2);
• pneumatic driving means comprising at least one compressor (9) housed in said central unit (2);
• at least two operational heads (3), each provided with:
• a plate (4) having at least one treatment surface (4A) intended to contact the skin of the patient to be treated;
• a plurality of pneumatic actuators (8) connected to said compressor (9) and each comprising:
• a piston (10), which is slidably inserted into a hole obtained in said plate (4) and facing said treatment surface (4A), provided with a free end (10A) intended to contact the skin of the patient;
• a return spring (14) acting on said piston (10), the latter being operable by said pneumatic driving means to move between a retracted position, in which said free end (10A) is contained within said hole, and a protruding position in which said free end (10A) extends protruding from said treatment surface (4A), said piston (10) having overcome the action of said return spring (14);
• characterized in that said pneumatic driving means comprise:
• a plurality of solenoid valves (15), each of which associated with a corresponding pneumatic actuator (8) and housed in said operational head (3), and connected to said compressor (9) and to said pneumatic actuator (8) to check the air supply of said pneumatic actuator (8), and provided with an opening for air discharge (18), through which said solenoid valve (15) is susceptible of discharging the pressurized air contained in said pneumatic actuator (8) and in said connecting conduit (17) to bring back the piston (10) to said retracted position.
