Compression Therapy: What Is and How Does It Work?

June 13, 2017 By Valeo Physical Therapy

If you’re feeling sore, whether from chronic pain, injury or from a workout, you will definitely want to try this out! Many of our clients use the Air Relax Compression boots simply to help boost lymph drainage (detox).

Used world-wide by orthopedic surgeons, athletic trainers, and professional and Olympic athletes, compression therapy has quickly become the treatment option of choice for:

  • Pre/Post Workout
  • Recovering faster and performing better
  • Injury Recovery
  • Treating acute and chronic injuries
  • Post-Surgery Rehab
  • Healing faster with less pain

How does it work?

These boots use compression to condense blood into localized areas for seconds at a time. This causes higher levels of oxygen into individual muscles in the legs, helping to speed up muscle recovery. Overall lymph drainage is boosted, along with a boost in circulation, while lactic acid is flushed out of the legs.

The Air Relax Compression Boots will cover your legs entirely, including your feet. Air will compress around your feet and thighs, moving blood into the middle of your legs for several seconds at a time. Then, the compression eases up, allowing the blood to flow into other areas within the legs, as the compression shifts to other parts of the legs. The compression will take place in different areas throughout your treatment. The calves, thighs, feet, etc.

The Air Relax Compression Boots are complimentary as part of all of our cryotherapy packages here at Valeo Cryo. They also work great for our physical therapy patients.

Check out this video our staff did that provides some good information about the boots as well as a demonstration: https://youtu.be/glNavQFIwSQ
