Compression Therapy
Our cutting-edge compression therapy accelerates your recovery time between training sessions and reduces your risk of swelling and circulation issues. The compression, pulsation, and release of air massages and mobilizes fluids to increase your range of motion, reduce soreness, reduce swelling, and mitigate cramping.
The therapy works by applying pressure to the affected area, which helps to push fluids back into the circulatory system. This can help to improve blood flow and oxygenation.
Benefits of compression therapy can include:
Decreases muscle recovery time.
Reduces soreness.
Decreases muscle tension and inflammation.
Increases flexibility and range of motion.
Reduces swelling and water accumulation.
Increases blood flow and circulation.
The benefits of compression therapy are numerous and include reducing swelling and fluid buildup, improving circulation, and relieving pain and discomfort. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as lymphedema, deep vein thrombosis, and varicose veins.
Research has shown that compression therapy is safe and effective. In a study of patients with chronic venous insufficiency, for example, compression therapy was found to significantly improve symptoms and quality of life. Another study found that compression therapy reduced swelling and improved range of motion in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Overall, compression therapy is a valuable tool for promoting healing and reducing pain in a wide range of conditions. Whether you are looking to improve circulation, reduce swelling, or relieve pain and discomfort, compression therapy can be an effective treatment option.
