Compression Therapy

Compression therapy is a well-established medical treatment that involves the application of pressure to limbs or specific areas of the body to enhance blood circulation and promote healing. This therapy is beneficial for individuals suffering from various conditions, including venous insufficiency, lymphedema and sports injuries.

How Does Compression Therapy Work?

The primary principle behind compression therapy is to apply controlled pressure to the affected area, which helps to:

• Improve Blood Flow: By compressing the veins, compression therapy aids in moving blood from the extremities back toward the heart, thereby reducing venous pressure and swelling.
• Reduce Swelling: Applying consistent pressure helps prevent the accumulation of fluid in tissues, leading to a reduction in swelling or edema.
• Enhance Healing: Blood circulation is crucial for delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues, which accelerates the healing process for wounds or injuries.
