On the other hand, they know nothing about physiotherapy General de France, the company of eight employees led by Jean-Luc Bes since 1986. Yet she is with a company, based in St. Louis in Missouri, the only one in the world to be holder of the licence of the G5, sold to health professionals and the beauticians massage apparatus. Invented in 1957 by batch-and-garonnais engineer Henri Cunier to relieve stomach of his wife, the G5 is a registered trademark: "Henri Cunier invented a unique technique." The appliance generates through skates on the area to address the mechanical, infrasonic vibrations or very low frequency sound. The mechanical wave, more or less deeply penetrate tissues depending on the intensity of frequencies, has relaxant effects, drainants ", explains Jean-Luc Bes, Chairman of the SAS.

Both belonged to Thomas Muchisky, a U.S. Distributor, which resumed in the 1980s the company created by Henri Cunier. At the time, the first employee of the new entity, Jean-Luc Bes, opted for a light structure: the SME designs, assembles the components made by local subcontractors and sells the G5 in relying on a network of distributors. After-sales service represents a significant part of the activity (10 of turnover), due to the long lifetime of the devices.
