COMPRESSION BOOTS THERAPY
Unlock Your Body’s Potential with Cutting-Edge Recovery Technology
Compression Therapy Relieves
Soreness and Speeds Up Recovery
How do compression boots work? Imagine stepping into a pair of boots that deliver a rejuvenating massage from your toes all the way up your legs. Compression boots make this a reality! These inflatable marvels utilize a technique called intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) to gently squeeze your legs, promoting healthy blood circulation and jump-starting your body’s natural healing process.
This makes compression boot therapy a convenient and effortless way to elevate your workout experience or alleviate long-term aches and pains. Here at Body Heat, we can even seamlessly integrate compression boot sessions into your post-Pilates or yoga routine. Simply slip on the boots and relax for 20–30 minutes while the boots squeeze your soreness away.
The benefits of compression boots therapy
- Accelerated recovery: Compression boots help flush the lactic acid and other metabolic waste products that contribute to soreness and fatigue. This translates to a quicker recovery time, allowing you to get back to the activities you love, feeling refreshed and ready to conquer your next challenge.
- Improved flexibility and range of motion: The rhythmic squeezing action of compression boots mimics a deep tissue massage, effectively loosening tight muscles and improving your overall flexibility.
- Health benefits: Outside of athletic pursuits, compression therapy offers a range of health and wellness benefits. In particular, the heightened blood flow can prevent and alleviate the development of varicose veins.
FAQs
Are compression boots only affecting blood flow?
No. Compression boots do improve blood circulation through use of the one-way valve structure of veins, but just as importantly, they improve lymph fluid circulation. Lymph fluid circulation is essential for the removal of toxins from the space between cells called the interstitial space. This enhances the body’s natural detoxification abilities.
How long should you use compression boots?
Typically, the minimum treatment time is 15 minutes, but this time will vary based on the client’s goals and intensity of treatment.
Why do you wear with compression boots?
We suggest that you wear compression tights, shorts or leggings. Skin should be clean and dry before treatment.
Can you use compression boots every days?
Yes, compression boots can be used daily.
Can you overdo compression boots?
If you experience tingling or numbness in your legs, it is a sign the pressure may be too high. This generally won’t cause any serious issues, but as with any treatment you should start slow and gradually progress intensity.
