Compression Therapy

Sequential pneumatic leg compression — medical-grade lymphatic drainage, venous return and recovery. 30 to 45 minutes of deeply restorative pressure that your body will feel immediately.

The Technology

What Is Sequential Compression Therapy?

The lymphatic system has no pump of its own — it relies on movement, muscle contraction and external pressure to function. When it stagnates, fluid accumulates, legs feel heavy and recovery slows. Sequential compression therapy mechanically restores this process, providing the equivalent of a full lymphatic drainage massage in 30 to 45 deeply relaxing minutes.

The device wraps around the legs and inflates in a rhythmic, sequential pattern — from the foot, through the calf, to the thigh — mimicking the wave-like action of manual lymphatic drainage. The 3-chamber graduated pressure design ensures fluid is consistently moved upward and outward, rather than redistributed within the limb.

Travel-Related Oedema

Relief from leg swelling and DVT risk after long-haul travel.

The Device

The Technology Behind Your Results

A medical-grade sequential compression unit — not a consumer wellness product.

Compression Mechanism

Sequential graduated pneumatic compression, applied in a precise, overlapping pattern from the foot to the thigh — actively moving fluid rather than simply redistributing it.

3-Chamber Design Graduated Pressure

Session Duration

Each session lasts 30 to 45 minutes, with rhythmic inflation and deflation cycles timed to replicate the natural cadence of manual lymphatic drainage.

30–45 Minutes Zero Downtime

Physiological Effect

Improved lymphatic drainage clears excess interstitial fluid and metabolic waste; enhanced venous return reduces pooling, fatigue and heaviness.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked

What is compression therapy and how does it work?
Sequential compression therapy uses a medical-grade pneumatic device to apply graduated, rhythmic pressure to the legs in a wave-like sequence — from the foot upward. This simulates manual lymphatic drainage, stimulating the lymphatic system to clear excess fluid, improving venous return and reducing oedema. Sessions last 30 to 45 minutes and are deeply relaxing.
Who should consider compression therapy?
Compression therapy is suitable for post-surgical patients, athletes seeking faster muscle recovery, frequent travellers with leg swelling or fatigue, individuals with lymphoedema or venous insufficiency, those managing cellulite concerns, and anyone with persistent leg heaviness or puffiness. A brief assessment determines suitability before each course.
How many compression therapy sessions are needed?
For best results, 6 to 10 sessions are recommended as an initial course. Sessions can also be used on an as-needed basis for acute recovery, travel fatigue or post-exercise recovery. Maintenance sessions every 2 to 4 weeks are popular for those managing chronic leg fatigue or lymphoedema.
Is compression therapy painful?
No — compression therapy is a non-invasive, pain-free treatment. The rhythmic, graduated squeezing sensation produced by the device is deeply relaxing and commonly described as a restorative massage experience. Many patients fall asleep during their session. There is no discomfort, no needles and no recovery time required.
