Compression Therapy

Compression therapy uses a pneumatic device to put a slight squeeze or pressure on muscles and therefore improves circulation and blood return to the heart. This decreases swelling and helps move good nutrients to tissue and toxins out of tissues.

The squeezing of the muscles allows improved circulation which can help address swelling, muscle pain and flexibility.

Pneumatic compression is a therapeutic technique that involves a garment enveloping a limb (such as legs or arms) and applying rhythmic inflation and deflation. This cyclic motion aids in flushing out metabolic waste fluids and promoting the influx of oxygen-rich blood. This enhanced circulation helps alleviate muscle discomfort, reduce swelling, and supports pain management and faster recovery.

This is not a direct treatment for cellulite. Cellulite is a complex cosmetic issue involving the structure of fat cells and connective tissue beneath the skin. It primarily focuses on improving circulation, reducing swelling, and managing conditions like lymphedema or venous disorders. While it may temporarily improve the appearance of the skin, it does not target cellulite specifically. There are other methods and treatments, such as diet, exercise, and cosmetic procedures, that are typically considered more effective for addressing cellulite.

It’s important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition. Compression therapy has been shown to be effective in supporting various medical conditions through clinical studies and patient outcomes. Some conditions for which it is used include:

• Venous Insufficiency and Venous Ulcers
• Lymphedema
• Edema Reduction
• Exercise recovery 

As with all treatment options and techniques, individual results may vary.

It is considered safe and well-tolerated when used appropriately. Before booking a session, please check the contraindications in our consent form and consult with your medical provider if you have any existing health conditions.
