About the speciality

Compression therapy uses controlled pressure to increase blood flow in the legs and also to improve blood flow to the heart. At the same time, it decreases swelling and supports your veins.

Compression Therapy is a well-researched treatment to:

manage vein problems
manage lymphedema (swelling) and pain in the legs
prevent blood clots after surgery
help wound healing, specifically ulcers
manage leg pain symptoms during pregnancy
improve chronic venous insufficiency and ulcer recurrence in older adults

A more recent use for compression therapy is to aid in athletic performance or workout recovery. Research on athletic use has had mixed results, though.

Benefits:

Increases blood flow / circulation
Promotes healing and recovery
Decreases muscle fatigue after acute exercise

Compression Therapy also helps you recover faster between workouts by reducing muscle soreness and improving circulation.

How is the compression therapy done?

We use NormaTec!

NormaTec is the leader in rapid recovery, it is an innovative technology that uses air pressure massage to relieve muscle aches and/or pain and to temporarily increase circulation to the treated areas. Many leading athletes, trainers and fitness enthusiasts around the world currently use this technology.

In sports and training it is often said that the best ability for an athlete is their avail-ability – meaning it doesn’t matter how strong, fast or powerful you are if you are constantly unable to train and/or compete.

Enhances Recovery and Performance:

Compression therapy helps reduce muscle soreness, inflammation, and swelling, accelerating recovery after exercise or injury, and improving athletic performance by supporting faster healing and reducing downtime.

Improves Circulation and Reduces Swelling:

By applying controlled pressure to targeted areas, compression therapy boosts blood flow and helps reduce swelling, making it particularly effective for individuals with circulation issues, lymphedema, or post-surgery recovery.

Non-Invasive and Relaxing Treatment:

Unlike more invasive treatments, compression therapy is a gentle, non-invasive option that can be comfortably administered during a session, offering a relaxing experience while promoting healing and overall wellness.

Compression therapy can help manage a variety of conditions, including chronic venous insufficiency, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), lymphedema, sports injuries, muscle soreness, and general swelling or inflammation in the legs or arms.

‍

How long does a compression therapy session last?

A typical compression therapy session lasts between 20 to 30 minutes. However, the duration may vary depending on the individual's needs and the type of therapy being used. Your therapist will guide you based on your condition and recovery goals.

Is compression therapy safe for everyone?

Compression therapy is generally safe, but it may not be suitable for individuals with certain conditions like severe arterial disease or skin infections. It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting compression therapy to ensure it’s appropriate for your health condition.
