FAQs

Compression Therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment, but we understand you may have a few questions before your first session. Whether you’re curious about how it works, what to expect, or how often you should come in, our FAQ section is here to guide you. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out — our team is always happy to help.
What type of pressures & compression do you use?
Ripple Recovery uses advanced, sequential compression technology that applies controlled, gradient pressure through multi-chamber compression boots. This creates a wave-like motion that moves up the limbs, mimicking the body’s natural circulation to maximise recovery and lymphatic flow.
How long does a typical session go for?
A standard compression therapy session runs for 30 minutes, giving your body enough time to fully relax while promoting optimal circulation and recovery.
How often should I do it for the best results?
For best results, we recommend 2–4 sessions per week. Consistency will provide greater benefits for recovery, reduced soreness, and overall performance.
Is it safe?
Yes — compression therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment suitable for most people. It’s widely used for recovery, circulation support, and relaxation, with settings tailored to ensure a comfortable and effective experience.
