Abstract
A vest for a human body has an air core coupled to a pulsator operable to subject the vest to air pressure pulses which applies and releases pressure to the human body. The vest has a cover having a pocket accommodating the air core. The pulsator has diaphragms connected to a d.c. electric motor with a rotary to reciprocating motion transmitting mechanism operable to generate air pressure pulses which are transmitted to the air core which applies repetitive pressure pulses to the human body.
