What to Know Before Your First Compression Therapy Session
So, you’ve booked your first compression therapy session, congratulations! You’re about to experience one of the most relaxing and rejuvenating ways to give your body some well-deserved TLC. Whether you’re looking to recover from a tough workout, ease tired legs, or simply enjoy a little "you time," compression therapy has your back (and your legs). Here’s what you need to know before you dive in.
What Exactly Is Compression Therapy?
Think of compression therapy as a big, cozy hug for your legs. It uses controlled air pressure to massage and squeeze your limbs, improving blood flow, reducing swelling, and speeding up recovery. It’s like having your own personal recovery coach, but without the chatter!
What Should I Wear?
The great news? Compression therapy is super low-maintenance. Wear something comfortable (leggings or athletic wear are perfect). You’ll slip into the compression sleeves, which do all the work, so no need to overthink your outfit. Pro tip: wear socks to your session or we will give you a cute pair of disposable booties.
How Does It Feel?
Imagine lying back in a comfy chair while gentle pressure moves up and down your legs, giving you a deep, relaxing massage. That’s compression therapy in a nutshell! The sensation is firm but never painful, and most people find it incredibly soothing. You might even catch yourself dozing off. Yes, it’s that relaxing!
How Long Does a Session Take?
Sessions typically last around 30 minutes, which means it’s easy to fit into even the busiest schedule. Whether you’re squeezing it in on a lunch break or using it as your post-workout recovery, compression therapy is the perfect quick fix for tired, achy limbs.
What Are the Benefits?
Oh, where do we start? Compression therapy is a powerhouse for:
Reducing Swelling: Perfect for athletes, desk warriors, service industry folks or anyone who’s on their feet all day.
Improving Circulation: Helps boost blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients where they’re needed most.
Speeding Up Recovery: Say goodbye to post-workout soreness and hello to faster recovery times.
Relaxation: Because who doesn’t love a good massage?
Anything I Should Know Before My Session?
Hydration is key! Drink plenty of water before and after your session to help flush out any toxins and keep your body feeling great. Other than that, just come ready to relax and let the compression therapy work its magic.
