Before Your Compression Therapy

Getting ready for your first Compression Therapy session?

Here’s what you need to know!

General Info

If you're new to ice baths, start with a shorter duration (about 3-5 minutes). Over time, you can gradually increase the time as your body adjusts to the cold.

For optimal results, wear a swimsuit or comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement while immersed in the cold water.

Drink plenty of water before and after your ice bath to stay hydrated, as cold immersion can lead to dehydration.

FAQs

We understand that Compression Therapy can be a new experience for many people, so here are some common questions before your first session.
What does Compression Therapy feel like?
The boots use inflatable air chambers that gently inflate and deflate around your legs. You will feel a firm, rhythmic squeezing sensation as the pressure moves through the different sections of the boots. It should feel comfortable rather than painful, and the intensity can be adjusted to suit you.
How long does a Compression Therapy session take?
Our standard Compression Therapy session is 30 minutes. You can sit back and relax while the boots work through their compression cycle.
Can I use Compression Therapy after exercise?
Yes. Compression therapy is commonly used as part of a post-exercise recovery routine. The rhythmic compression can help support circulation and may help your legs feel less tired, heavy or sore after physical activity.
