These garments use air compression technology, pneumatic compression that increases your blood circulation and assists your body in flushing accumulated wastes and toxins from your blood faster than your body naturally can over time. The results are that your muscles recover faster and heal more effectively.
When you exercise, play sports or do something your body isn’t used to, your muscles are placed under pressure and slight duress that cause a local inflammatory response in the muscles and results in a Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) feeling. The garments (legs, hips and arms) that we use at our facility contain chambers that inflate and compress your muscles at various pressures which acts as a flushing technique and has been proven to aid in muscle and tissue recovery.
Not only for athletes, these garments can be used by all people with sore, tight, heavy muscles. Some of the other benefits include;
· Reduce pain
· Increase blood circulation
· Improve range of motion
· Filters/flushes lactic acid
· Lymphatic drainage to decrease fluid retention
· Boosts athletic performance
There are times where you are unable to use recovery garments. Unfortunately, if you have had blood clotting or blood disorders, pulmonary embolism or are taking blood related medications you are not able to use this compression therapy.
