Compression therapy

Sessions can be booked for 30min, and 1h

This therapy involves the use of air-compressed devices (boots and sleaves) that rhythmically inflate and deflate sequentially to apply graduated pressure to the legs, hips, or arms. It aids in lymphatic drainage and circulation, which helps remove waste products and toxins from the muscles and soft tissues whilst speeding up blood flow to the area.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is compression therapy safe?

Yes, it's generally safe when used appropriately. Those with certain circulatory issues should consult a healthcare provider first.

What are the benefits of compression therapy?

Benefits include reduced muscle soreness, improved blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, reduced swelling, and accelerated recovery.

How often can I use compression therapy?

Compression therapy can be used daily or as needed, especially after intense exercise or standing for long periods.

Does compression therapy help with muscle soreness?

Yes, it reduces muscle soreness by promoting blood flow and clearing out metabolic waste.

Will compression therapy help with varicose veins?

It can help relieve symptoms by supporting circulation but doesn't directly treat or cure varicose veins.

How does pneumatic compression therapy compare to wearing compression garments?

Pneumatic compression provides dynamic, sequential pressure, whereas garments offer a constant, static pressure, making pneumatic devices potentially more effective for deep tissue recovery.

What should I wear during compression therapy?

Lightweight clothing or athletic wear is ideal, often shorts or leggings.

Are there any side effects of compression therapy?

Some users may experience tingling or mild discomfort initially, which usually subsides quickly.
