Compression therapy is a technique that usually involves using special garments or devices to apply pressure to different parts of the body, especially the legs. Its major goals are to increase blood flow, relieve various health issues, and promote overall well-being.

What is Compression Therapy?

Compression therapy is a common treatment that applies pressure to different parts of the body to help improve blood circulation, especially in the legs. It usually involves using compression socks, stockings, boots, wraps, or bandages to apply gentle pressure to the legs, ankles, and feet. This helps blood flow faster and keep moving in the right direction instead of building up.

Post-surgical blood clot prevention

Deep vein thrombosis

Venous insufficiency

Phlebitis

Varicose veins

Spider veins

Being on your feet all-day

Benefits of Compression Therapy

  1. Improve blood circulation: Sitting or standing for long can cause the legs not to move blood back to the heart quickly. Compression therapy exerts gentle pressure on the veins and arteries to improve blood flow in the right direction.
  2. Prevention and Treatment of Varicose Veins: Varicose veins are usually swollen and twisted veins that cause pain, heaviness, and aches in the legs. This is usually a result of blood pooling in the veins. Compression stockings can help reduce discomfort and swelling caused by varicose veins. After treatment, compression therapy may also help prevent new varicose veins from developing。
  3. Less Swelling: Leg swelling can result from pregnancy or sitting or standing for a long period. The pressure from compression therapy can keep fluid from leaking from small blood vessels into your legs. It can also help your body absorb extra fluid in your legs.  
  4. Less Dizziness and Nausea: Orthostatic hypotension, a drop in blood pressure when you stand up, can cause dizziness, light-headedness, or nausea. Compression therapy can prevent blood from pooling in your legs, which is often the cause of orthostatic hypotension.
  5. Lower Risk of Blood Clots: Blood clots can have serious health consequences. Compression therapy can reduce your chances of blood clots while you are bedridden due to sickness, surgery recovery, or traveling because it improves blood flow in the body。
  6. Healing Leg Ulcers: Ulcers are usually open wounds on the skin that are difficult to heal. They can occur in any part of the body but often affect the legs, ankles, and feet. The causes of leg ulcers include diabetes, vein problems, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney failure, etc.
