Compression Therapy
Pneumatic compression for circulation, recovery, and lymphatic drainage
About This Treatment
Compression therapy uses inflatable sleeves that rhythmically inflate and deflate, applying pressure to limbs in a wave-like pattern from extremities toward the heart. This enhances circulation, promotes lymphatic drainage, reduces swelling, and accelerates recovery. Popular with athletes for post-workout recovery, it also helps with lymphedema, venous insufficiency, and general wellness. Sessions are relaxing and restorative.

What to Expect
You'll put on compression boots or sleeves covering the target area. The system inflates in sequential chambers, creating a wave of pressure from feet/hands toward torso. Sessions last 20-30 minutes. The pressure is firm but comfortable, often described as a massage sensation. Many people read or relax during sessions. You'll feel refreshed with lighter, less sore legs or arms. Regular use (2-4x weekly) provides optimal benefits.
