Compression Therapy

What is Compression Therapy?

Compression therapy uses pneumatic sleeves or boots that inflate and deflate in sequence, applying rhythmic, controlled pressure to the legs. This mimics the natural pumping action of the muscles, encouraging blood and lymphatic fluid to flow back toward the heart. It is completely non-invasive, requires no needles or incisions, and is widely used alongside massage, physiotherapy, and sports recovery programs to reduce swelling, ease heaviness, and speed recovery.

Benefits of Compression Therapy

Improves circulation

Sequential compression pushes blood back toward the heart, reducing pooling in the legs.

Reduces swelling & fluid retention

Helps move excess lymph fluid out of the tissues, easing puffiness in the legs and feet.

Speeds muscle recovery

Clears metabolic waste build-up after exercise, reducing soreness and stiffness.

Eases heaviness & fatigue

Many clients feel noticeably lighter, less tired legs immediately after a session.

Supports post-exercise & travel recovery

Popular with athletes and frequent travellers to counter stiffness from prolonged sitting or standing.

Complements massage & physiotherapy

Often paired with other treatments for longer-lasting relief and recovery.
