ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for treating a patient by means of water sprays which includes a horizontal cylinder (10) which is open at one end and closed at the other. Nozzles (20,30 and 34) are provided for directing sprays of water and/or steam into the interior of the vessel. A pump (78), a water heater (80) and a steam generator (82) are provided and are connected to the nozzles by tubing. The patient lies on a trolley (40) which has a wheeled base (46). Vertical columns (44) at one end of the base support two elongate side members (42) which overlie the base and between which a mesh (52) or synthetic plastics sheet extends to support a prone patient. The trolley is oscillated horizontally to move the patient relatively to the nozzles by means of a crank arrangement (60,62) driven by an electric motor (56).
