An apparatus (40) for enhancing blood flow through a limb of a subjectincludes a compression sleeve (41) extendable around the subject~s limb andhaving a plurality of compressors (43-48) situated next to one another alongthe sleeve (41). In use, the compressors (43-48) compress the limb in sequenceto move blood within the limb from one end of the sleeve (41) to the other. Inparticular, as a said compressor (43-48) begins to compress the limb, thecompressor (43-48) preceding it in sequence already compresses the limb, andthe next preceding compressor (43-48) in sequence ceases to compress the limb.
