What is Compression Therapy and how does it work?
External Pneumatic Compression (EPC) therapy is an FDA cleared system that mimics the body’s natural biological systems to expedite the flushing of fluids and metabolites (cardon dioxide, lactic acid etc.) your limbs which helps to revive your body by increasing circulation of nutrient-rich blood and oxygen to the affected limbs.
Compression works by inflating with air to tighten around your arms, legs or hips (similar but more relaxing than a blood pressure cuff). The system is designed to improve circulation and accelerates the soft tissue healing process and offers an array of rejuvenating benefits that include;
– Decreased water retention
– Decreased pain sensitivity and fatigue after acute exercise
– Reduction in the development of cellulite
– Increased mobility
