The Science behind Compression Therapy

​

  • Reducing Muscle Soreness: Intense trauma  or exercise can lead to micro-tears in muscle fibers, resulting in inflammation and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). By improving blood flow, compression therapy helps to remove metabolic waste products like lactic acid from the muscles, reducing soreness and stiffness.

​

  • Minimizing Swelling: After intense injuries, fluid can accumulate in the muscles and joints, leading to swelling and discomfort. Compression therapy helps to reduce this swelling by promoting lymphatic drainage, which removes excess fluids and waste from the body.

​

  • Enhancing Oxygen Delivery: Improved blood circulation means that more oxygen-rich blood can reach the muscles, aiding in repair and recovery. This is particularly important after endurance activities, where oxygen delivery to fatigued muscles is critical for recovery.

​

  • Preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): For individuals who travel frequently or sit for long periods, compression therapy can reduce the risk of DVT, a condition where blood clots form in the veins, typically in the legs.
