What is Compression?

Compression therapy is a treatment that uses controlled pressure to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and support muscle recovery.

How It Works

Compression gently squeezes the limbs, which helps:

  • Improve blood flow back to the heart
  • Reduce fluid buildup (edema)
  • Move lymphatic fluid more efficiently
  • Decrease muscle soreness after exercise

In pneumatic systems, air chambers inflate and deflate in cycles, creating a “milking” effect that pushes fluid upward through the limbs.

Common Benefits

  • Faster athletic recovery
  • Reduced inflammation and swelling
  • Relief from heavy or tired legs
  • Support for varicose veins
  • Post-surgical or injury recovery
