COMPRESSION THERAPY

What is Compression Therapy

Compression therapy involves the use of specialized garments or devices to apply controlled pressure to specific areas of the body, typically the limbs. The pressure is exerted in a graduated manner, meaning it is highest at the extremities and gradually decreases towards the heart. This therapy is used to improve circulation, reduce swelling (edema), and support venous return. Compression therapy can aid in the management of conditions such as lymphedema, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and varicose veins. It's also commonly used in sports medicine to enhance recovery by reducing muscle soreness and promoting faster healing of soft tissue injuries.

FAQ:

What is compression therapy?

Compression therapy involves using controlled pressure to increase blood flow and improve lymphatic function. This method is commonly used to support recovery in medical and sports settings.

How does compression therapy work?

Compression therapy enhances circulation and lymphatic drainage, which helps to prevent stagnation of blood and fluid in the limbs. This process can accelerate recovery by facilitating the removal of waste products from the muscles.

What are the primary benefits of compression therapy?

The main benefits include improved circulation, reduced swelling and inflammation, faster recovery from exercise, and prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in at-risk individuals.

Who should use compression therapy?

It is beneficial for athletes, individuals who have poor circulation, patients recovering from surgery, and those with or at risk of venous disorders.
