Abstract
A vibratory sauna including a housing having a closure member associated therewith which comprises a base and continuous side wall. There is also provided resilient mounting means for mounting the support member in or on the housing and vibration means for causing vibration of the support member. There is also provided a chamber in the housing located below the support member which has heating means such as a heated element and airflow generation means such as a fan associated therewith. The arrangement is such that heated air may be caused to flow out of the chamber and above the support member to contact the person resting on the support member while the support member is being vibrated by the vibration means. Afterwards the heated air may be returned to the chamber to provide a continuous circulation of heated air throughout the housing.

A vibratory sauna comprising:
- a housing having a closure member associated therewith and comprising a base and continuous side wall;
- a support member oriented in a substantially horizontal plane for supporting a patient in a supine position;
- head support means located adjacent the housing and outwardly of said closure member to form a longitudinal extension of the support member;
- resilient mounting means for supporting said support member;
- vibration means for vibrating said support member;
- a member in said housing located below said support member and containing heating means and airflow generation means, and said chamber further comprising a plurality of chambers, means in said chamber for providing longitudinal flow of heated air in a continuous loop manner, whereby heated air may be caused to flow in and out of said chamber at opposite ends thereof, and to flow above said support member to contact a person lying thereon while said support member is adapted to be simultaneously vibrated;
- and said heated air being returned to said chamber to form a closed circulation loop of heated air throughout said housing.
