There is disclosed herein a massaging device (10) for a limb having a distal end and a proximal end. The massaging device (10) includes a garment (12) configured to be worn on the limb, the garment including two or more inflatable bladders (24, 26, 28, 30) arrangeable in series between the distal and proximal ends of the limb, with each of the bladders (24, 26, 28, 30) substantially surrounding at least a portion of the limb. The massaging device (10) further includes a pressuriser (38) for supplying pressurised fluid to the bladders (24, 26, 28, 30). The massaging device (10) further includes a controller (40, 42) connected to the pressuriser (38) and configured to sequentially distribute the pressurised fluid to each bladder (24, 26, 28, 30) for inflation from the distal-most bladder to the proximal-most bladder such that a pressure wave moving towards the proximal end is exerted on said portion of the limb. |
