Compression Therapy
About the Appointment
WHAT IS A COMPRESSION THERAPY? Compression therapy involves the use of controlled pressure to help improve circulation, reduce swelling, and accelerate recovery. This technique is often used in medical and wellness settings to address various health concerns, such as poor circulation, muscle soreness, and fluid retention. HOW DOES COMPRESSION THERAPY WORK? Compression therapy works by applying gentle pressure to the body, typically using specialized garments or devices such as sleeves, boots, or wraps. The compression helps to stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which can aid in reducing inflammation, enhancing recovery, and promoting overall wellness. At Brickz Health & Wellness we chose Hyperice because it stands out as a superior brand in the field of compression therapy for several reasons. First, their products, like the Normatec series, utilize cutting-edge technology to improve recovery through precise air compression techniques. This technology is designed to optimize blood circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and accelerate recovery, which makes it a popular choice among both professional athletes and everyday fitness enthusiasts BENEFITS Improve circulation Decreased inflammation and swelling Reduced muscle soreness Faster Recovery
Special Instructions
Before Your Compression Therapy Session: Hydrate Well – Drink plenty of water before your session to promote better circulation and reduce the risk of dehydration. Dress Comfortably – Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access (depending on the area of treatment). Avoid Heavy Meals – It's best to avoid heavy meals at least 30 minutes before the session for comfort. Avoid Caffeine or Alcohol – These can dehydrate your body and hinder the effectiveness of the therapy. Ensure Proper Skin Care – Avoid using excessive lotions or oils on your skin, as this can cause irritation or make it uncomfortable during treatment. After Your Compression Therapy Session: Hydrate Again – Drink water after your session to help flush out toxins and support recovery. Monitor for Discomfort – Mild redness or slight skin indentation may occur temporarily but should fade quickly. Avoid Intense Activity Immediately – It's best to avoid heavy exercise or strenuous activity immediately after compression therapy, as your muscles may need time to recover. Rest and Relax – Allow your body to absorb the benefits of the treatment by resting for at least 30 minutes after the session. Wear Compression Garments (If Prescribed) – If you have been prescribed compression garments after therapy, wear them as directed to help maintain circulation and recovery.
