PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a portable controller unit for delivering pressurized air to a compression device. SOLUTION: The portable controller unit for delivering pressurized air to a compression device of the type for applying compression to a body part of a wearer, The controller unit includes: an air compressor; a valve mechanism; and a molded, one-piece manifold base on which the air compressor and the valve mechanism are mounted, the manifold base including a plenum formed inside the base during molding of the base and a connector component formed during molding of the base for releasably securing the base to the compression device, the plenum fluidly connecting the air compressor to the valve mechanism, the plenum extending through the connector component and fluidly connecting the connector to the valve mechanism so that when the base is secured to the compression device, air can be delivered from the air compressor through the connector component to the compression device.
