Collection: Compression Therapy

Compression therapy (CT) is a medical technique designed to enhance blood and lymphatic circulation in the limbs. By gently applying pressure to areas such as the arms, feet, ankles, legs, and sometimes the torso, this therapy effectively supports the circulatory system. The applied pressure causes vein walls to constrict, which increases the speed of blood flow through the veins. This improved circulation is beneficial for athletes in recovery from intense exercise, aiding in muscle repair and reducing soreness. Additionally, CT is therapeutic for patients suffering from venous insufficiencies, such as varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency. The pressure is administered using specially designed stockings or sleeves, often referred to as garments, which are worn directly on the body part receiving the therapy. These garments ensure that the therapeutic pressure is consistently applied, thereby maximizing the benefits of the treatment.
