Compression Therapy

Service Description

Compression Therapy: Enhancing Recovery and Performance Compression therapy accelerates recovery by applying pressure to limbs or affected body areas using specialized garments. This pressure improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow, reducing swelling and promoting healing. These garments exert graduated pressure, being tighter at the extremities and gradually loosening up the limb, helping push blood and fluid back toward the heart, preventing pooling, and improving venous return. Key Benefits of Compression Therapy Improved Circulation: Compression therapy enhances blood flow and circulation by applying pressure to the limbs, beneficial for conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), varicose veins, or lymphedema. Improved circulation reduces swelling, prevents blood clots, and promotes healing. Reduced Muscle Soreness and Fatigue: Compression garments alleviate muscle soreness and fatigue, especially after intense physical activity. The pressure helps flush out lactic acid and other metabolic waste products, speeding up recovery and reducing muscle soreness. Prevention of Blood Clots: Compression therapy prevents blood clots, especially in individuals at higher risk, such as those who have recently undergone surgery or have limited mobility. The pressure keeps blood flowing and prevents pooling in the veins, reducing clot formation risk. Enhanced Athletic Performance: Athletes use compression garments to improve performance. The compression stabilizes muscles, reduces muscle oscillation, and improves proprioception (awareness of body position), leading to better muscle control and movement efficiency, enhancing performance and reducing injury risk. Swelling Reduction: Compression therapy effectively reduces swelling, particularly in the legs and feet. The applied pressure prevents fluid buildup and promotes fluid movement back toward the heart, reducing swelling and discomfort. – Alleviation of symptoms in chronic conditions: Compression therapy can provide relief for individuals with chronic conditions such as venous insufficiency, lymphedema, or chronic venous ulcers. The compression helps to manage symptoms, reduce swelling, and improve overall comfort and quality of life. – Post-surgical recovery: Compression garments are often recommended after surgical procedures to aid in recovery. They help reduce swelling, promote healing, and provide support to the surgical site, enhancing comfort and facilitating the healing process.
