About Compression Therapy

The Science

Inflammation occurs when strenuous exercise damages your muscle. This leads to an increase in swelling, sensitising your nerves and causing that familiar sensation of pain and soreness following a hard workout.

Compression Therapy can help! Our Pneumatic Compression Therapy applies external pressure to the muscles. This cuts down the space available for swelling, lessens inflammation and, most importantly, reduces pain and soreness!

Our Pneumatic Compression Therapy mimics the natural muscle pump of the legs, which aids the heart in the circulation of blood around the body. 

By providing a mechanical massaging of the muscles, our compression system replicates the enhanced blood flow created by walking, running or cycling all while you relax in the comfort of our gorgeous, happy destination!

Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, our Pneumatic Compression Therapy uses dynamic compression (pulsing). Our system also exerts up to 4 times greater levels of pressure when compared with commercially available compression garments (e.g. Skins). This dynamic application of greater pressure has been shown to be superior when compared with static compression at enhancing blood flow and removing metabolic waste.
