This massage head is fitted with a case (2, 11) defining an internal chamber in which a skinfold is formed when it is applied to the skin of a patient, said fold pressing against the lower edges of the chamber, the latter being defined by two lateral walls and by two transverse walls (15, 16), said transverse walls each comprising a clack valve able to be driven in a pivoting motion, so as to cause the lower edges of said clack valves in contact with the skinfold to come closer together or move further apart.The relative displacement of the clack valves is ensured by means of a motorized rotary cam (10) provided in the massage head, said cam defining a cam path engaging with a component associated with said clack valves, able to cause the swivelling motion thereof.本發明之按摩頭與界定一內室之殼體(2,11)配合,其中,當施用到病患皮膚時,形成皮膚皺褶,該皺褶壓抵於該室之下緣,後者係由兩側壁及兩橫向壁(15,16)所形成,該橫向壁各包括一可被驅動作樞轉運動的瓣閥,以使得該瓣閥之下緣與皮膚皺褶接觸而更靠近在一起或更移動遠離。瓣閥之相對位移藉設置在按摩頭中的動力化之旋轉凸輪(10)確保,該凸輪界定一凸輪路徑,其與該瓣閥相連結的一元件啣合,而可造成其迴轉。
