An apparatus for intermittently applying compression to a portion of a patient's body enclosed in a therapeutic appliance. A timer is operated from a regulated pressurized fluid source to generate control signals to a valve which alternately inflates and deflates the appliance. The elements of the timer may be time delay valves, penumatic timing valves or fluidic elements which function to produce adjustable timing intervals for the control signals whereby the inflation and deflation intervals and the cycle time may be manually changed.
