Compression Therapy
What is it?
Compression therapy is a treatment that involves wearing a special sleeve on your legs or arms to help improve circulation and reduce swelling. It's kind of like wearing a tight-fitting sock that provides a gentle massage for your muscles! The sleeve or stocking applies pressure to the area, which helps to encourage blood and fluid to flow back up towards your heart. This can be really helpful for people who experience swelling or discomfort in their legs or arms, especially if they have conditions like varicose veins or lymphedema.

This can be particularly beneficial for people who suffer from conditions such as venous insufficiency, lymphedema, or deep vein thrombosis.
Reduce Pain

By providing targeted compression to specific areas of the body, it can help to alleviate pain associated with conditions such as plantar fasciitis, varicose veins, and arthritis. Additionally, compression therapy can also help to reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, making it a popular treatment for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
