What is Compression Therapy?

Compression therapy is designed to accelerate your recovery process by applying pressure to the limbs or affected areas of the body using specialized garments.

 

The pressure helps improve blood circulation and lymphatic flow, reducing swelling and promotes healing. Compression garments exert graduated pressure, meaning they are tighter at the extremities and gradually loosen as they move up the limb. This helps to push blood and fluid back towards the heart, preventing pooling and improving venous return. Compression therapy is commonly used to treat conditions such as lymphedema, deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins, and venous ulcers. It can also be beneficial for athletes to enhance performance and aid in muscle recovery by reducing soreness.
