The Basics
What Is Dynamic Compression Therapy?
Compression therapy wraps your legs in fitted pneumatic boots connected to a system that inflates and deflates them in waves, starting at the feet and moving upward. Each wave gently milks fluid and blood back toward the torso, supporting circulation and the lymphatic system.
Athletes call it "recovery boots." Our patients call it the most relaxing 30 minutes of their week.
Potential Benefits
What Compression May Support
Leg Circulation
Firm, rhythmic pressure designed to move blood through the lower legs.
Lymphatic Flow
Sequential waves designed to support the body's drainage system.
Faster Recovery
A recovery staple for athletes and active adults after training.
Tired-Leg Relief
Relief from heaviness and fatigue after long days or travel.
Compression therapy supports these goals; it is not a treatment for vascular disease. Individual results vary.

View All FAQs What is dynamic compression therapy?
Dynamic compression therapy uses pneumatic boots or sleeves that inflate and deflate in a sequential wave, gently squeezing the legs from the feet upward. It is designed to support circulation and lymphatic flow, and is widely used in recovery and wellness settings.
How is compression therapy different from EECP?
EECP is synchronized to your heartbeat and works to support blood flow back to the heart. Compression therapy is a sequential pneumatic massage, typically focused on the legs, used to support circulation and recovery. They are complementary tools, not the same thing.
What does a compression session feel like?
It feels like a deep, rhythmic massage on the legs. The boots inflate from the feet upward, hold briefly, then release. Most people find it deeply relaxing and some fall asleep during sessions.
Who uses compression therapy?
Athletes use it for recovery, travelers use it to combat tired legs, and adults with sedentary jobs or circulation concerns use it to support leg comfort and blood flow. It is commonly recommended as part of a recovery or wellness routine.
Does compression therapy hurt?
No. Pressure is adjustable and should feel firm but comfortable, never painful. The team will tailor the settings to your preference and tolerance.
