Abstract

The invention relates to a body treatment apparatus for performing a massaging operation on the body of a person. The apparatus includes an air compressor which is operable to supply air under pressure to a body treatment device via a liquid feed arrangement that is operable to feed a liquid, such as an aromatherapy oil, at a controlled rate into the air flow line. The body treatment device can be manually manipulated to direct air under pressure via the device onto the body region of a person to be massaged, the treatment device defining an internal passage arrangement and a plurality of outlet jet formations that are configured to providde for the air to perform a hammer-type action on the body of a person, in the performance of the massaging operation.
