STRETCH + COMPRESSION THERAPY
30 MINUTE STRETCH + COMPRESSION THERAPY
Our Stretch + Compression Therapy session is the perfect blend of stretching and targeted therapy to optimize your well-being. Begin with 20 minutes of gentle stretching, where we focus on improving your flexibility and easing muscle tension. Following this, indulge in a focused 10-minute compression therapy session that goes beyond the surface, addressing specific muscle discomfort and promoting circulation. It’s a holistic approach to revitalization that not only leaves your body feeling better but also enhances your overall sense of wellness.
BENEFITS OF COMPRESSION THERAPY
Embracing a stretching routine + compression therapy into your daily life not only ensures you reap these benefits but also sets the foundation for a more balanced, healthy, and active lifestyle. Compression therapy helps to:
IMPROVE BLOOD CIRCULATION
Compression therapy gently squeezes the limbs, which promotes better blood flow from the extremities back to the heart. By enhancing circulation, it counteracts pooling of blood and helps in the efficient removal of waste products from muscles. As a result, oxygen-rich blood returns more rapidly to the affected areas, promoting healing and reducing fatigue.
REDUCE EDEMA (SWELLING)
It helps reduce swelling, especially in the legs and feet, by promoting the return of blood back to the heart. Supporting pregnant women who are experiencing swollen feet and ankles, individuals who spend a lot of time on their feet or anyone suffering with pain and swelling.
SUPPORT VEIN HEALTH
Compression therapy aids in preventing venous insufficiency, where the blood doesn’t flow up efficiently to the heart. By providing gentle pressure on the veins, compression wear helps valves to fuction properly and is especially helpful to those who have sedentary lifestyles or spend extended periods on their feet. Consistent use can also alleviate symptoms of tired, achy legs and reduce the risk of developing further complications like varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis.
ENHANCE LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
This is beneficial for individuals with lymphedema, helping to reduce the accumulation of lymph fluids. Compression therapy, through its snug fit, acts like a gentle pump, pushing stagnant fluids out of the affected area and back into circulation. This not only helps to reduce pain but also can play a significant role in overall immune function, helping the body to detoxify more efficiently.
POST SURGERY RECOVERY
After surgical procedures, especially those related to the veins, compression therapy can be instrumental in recovery. The consistent and gentle pressure applied minimizes swelling by preventing fluid build up. Patients who incorporate compression therapy into their post-surgery regimen often experience a smoother, quicker recovery.
*Remember, while compression therapy offers numerous benefits, it’s essential to consult with a medical professional before starting treatment, especially if one has underlying health conditions.
