What is compression therapy?
Compression therapy is a rapid recovery system that uses compressed air to massage limbs and enhance blood flow. It also activates the lymphatic system. Compression therapy moves blood, and lymphatic fluid in one direction, i.e. out of the extremities. This process speeds recovery. It is extremely popular among athletes who need to recover quickly. Anyone who is very active, or on their feet all day can use compression therapy to invigorate tired, over-worked muscles. Compression therapy is an innovative treatment that is used to help recovery and rehab after exercise or joint injuries. While compression therapy is commonly used for leg recovery, you can also use the treatment for hip and arm recovery as well.
At our Charlotte wellness studio, we use the NormaTec™ Pulse Recovery System for compression therapy. With the patented PULSE technology, our clients can recover faster between training sessions and after rigorous exercise. It is also highly beneficial for those standing on their feet all day.
How does compression therapy work?
Compression therapy is very simple to use. The treatment begins with a pre-inflate cycle, during which the connected attachments are molded to your exact body shape. The session continues by compressing your feet, hands, or upper quad (depending on the attachment you are using). Similar to the kneading and stroking done during a massage, each segment of the attachment will first compress in a pulsing manner and then release. This will repeat for each segment of the attachment as the compression pattern works its way up your limb. When the last segment of the attachment completes its massage, there will be a brief rest period and then the cycle will begin again.
Is Compression therapy for athletes?
Anyone participating in exercise or athletic activities at any level will benefit greatly from the use of compression therapy. People standing on their feet for extended periods of time should use compression therapy for leg recovery. Compression therapy is also a recommended therapeutic recovery option for those traveling for business or leisure.
