Compression can be an effective way to improve your overall circulation and blood flow. Compression works by adding controlled, dynamic pressure to areas where flow may be slightly restricted. This means that compression can help you to loosen venous pressure and may aid the body in moving blood toward the heart. Compression can be particularly helpful to massage and loosen stiff muscles and joints after a long run or tough workout. This is because compression may help lactic acids and other build-up in bodily tissues release and be carried through the body. Compression can help to process these wastes, thereby speeding up the time it takes your muscles to recover.

Not sure what to expect from your Compression Therapy session at Sports Performance? Compression is a relaxing experience that may feel quite similar to a massage. After completing a simple waiver, our expert staff will have you sit down on one of our comfortable lounge chairs and put our Normatec Compression boots on your legs. Our Compression boots are comfortable, flexible devices that cover your foot up to over your knee. During your session, you can sit back and relax while the boots gradually fill with pressurized air and then empty out. The result is a light, controlled pressure on your extremities. You can also choose to place the Compression sleeves on your arms. With our compression session, you’re in control! You can choose the level of pressure you prefer and the time you’d like to spend enjoying compression.

While many professional athletes and teams use Compression Therapy, it’s becoming more popular with the general public. Many devices on the market offer Compression Therapy at home. However, Sports Performance offers cutting-edge Compression Therapy sessions that utilize the Normatec Pulse Technology system. Whether you’re an elite athlete, a beginner, or someone somewhere in between, you can optimize your health and recovery time with Compression Therapy at a Sports Performance near you.
