COMPRESSION THERAPY

Circulation. Recovery. Lighter Legs.

Sequential pneumatic compression uses rhythmic pressure around the legs to encourage circulation and fluid movement while providing a relaxing, massage-like recovery experience.

Benefits may include:

  • Promotes circulation in the legs

  • Supports venous blood return

  • Encourages fluid movement through the extremities

  • May help reduce feelings of swelling and heaviness

  • Supports recovery after exercise

  • May reduce perceived post-exercise soreness

  • Helps tired legs feel refreshed

  • Supports recovery after prolonged standing or sitting

  • Can be especially restorative after travel or an active day

  • Provides passive, massage-like muscle recovery

  • Promotes relaxation while the body recovers

Research: A 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis of 17 studies found small potential benefits for muscular function and effects on perceived pain/soreness, although results varied across outcomes.
