Compression Therapy uses controlled pressure to increase blood flow in any given area. At the same time, compression therapy also supports veins and decreases swelling and inflammation. Research studies show that compression therapy can help relieve muscle aches/pain and temporarily increase circulation which results in increased flexibility and range of motion, injury prevention, and accelerated recovery time.
How Does It Work?
Dynamic air compression therapy mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms which enhances the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the body, especially after intense training. At Performance Health and Wellness, we use the Normatec technology which combines dynamic air compression therapy with a pulse massage designed to employ three key techniques – pulsing, digital release, and gradients.
