Compression Therapy
Compression therapy is a therapeutic treatment that uses controlled pressure to improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and enhance overall circulation in the body. This therapy is widely used for managing conditions such as lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). By applying gentle, consistent pressure to the limbs, compression therapy helps to prevent the pooling of blood and fluids, reducing the risk of blood clots and promoting faster recovery from injuries or surgeries. Athletes often use compression therapy to enhance muscle recovery, reduce soreness, and improve performance by increasing oxygen delivery to the muscles. This non-invasive, drug-free treatment is also beneficial for those who spend long periods sitting or standing, as it helps to alleviate symptoms like leg fatigue, varicose veins, and swelling. Compression therapy is a safe and effective way to improve vascular health, enhance mobility, and support overall wellness.
