How Does Compression Therapy Work?
Compression therapy uses inflatable sleeves that fill with air in controlled sequences, applying gentle pressure to your limbs. This pressure temporarily squeezes underlying tissues and veins, encouraging blood to flow back toward your heart. It also helps move the lymphatic fluid, which carries excess fluid from tissues into your body’s circulation. As the sleeves inflate and deflate, they create a rhythmic pumping action that may reduce limb heaviness and support comfortable post-exercise recovery.
Benefits of Compression Therapy:
- Encourages healthy venous circulation in the limbs

- Complements athletic recovery and rehabilitation routines
