Compression Therapy

Compression therapy is an effective method by which controlled pressure is applied to the extremities. This helps increase blood flow and also makes the lymphatic and venous systems more efficient. Traditionally, compression therapy uses socks or stockings, but Re|Connect uses new technology to offer dynamic compression, utilizing compressed air to mobilize fluid as well as improve circulation.

Poor circulation occurs when blood vessels and arteries narrow, making it hard for blood to pass through. Compression therapy works by adding pressure to areas of restricted blood flow, allowing the veins in the limbs to loosen. This loosening decreases venous pressure, reduces edema, and aids the body in moving blood towards the heart. It also engages “lymphatic flush”, which facilitates the removal of waste, swelling, and inflammation from the body.

Benefits of Compression Therapy:

• Reduces swelling and inflammation.
• Speeds up muscle recovery.
• Prevents delayed-onset muscle soreness.
• Relieves muscle pain.
• Improves athletic performance.
• Increases flexibility and range of motion.
• Removes exercise-related wastes, like lactic acid.
• Decreases muscle fatigue.
