How Does Compression Therapy Work?

Compression therapy, as well as deep pressure therapy, is a therapeutic approach that involves applying gentle, evenly distributed pressure to the body. Compression therapy is primarily used to promote relaxation, comfort, and a sense of calm. Compression utilizes the concept of sensory modulation. The idea being that deep pressure stimulation can help balance the sensory system. By providing a soothing and grounding sensation, compression therapy may help individuals feel more grounded and reduce sensory overload, which can be beneficial for managing anxiety symptoms.

In addition, the gentle pressure applied through compression therapy may activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a relaxation response. This activation can counteract the fight-or-flight  response associated with anxiety and panic attacks, potentially reducing physiological arousal and inducing a state of well-being.

About 25 years ago, compression was adopted for use in sport medicine in an attempt to improve exercise performance and recovery. The cyclic pneumatic compression within Flowpresso is delivered to different areas of the body, allowing the body to change how it moves. Each section inflates sequentially — rising and falling — to maintain a continuous progressive pressure. For athletes, compression therapy helps encourage circulatory flow within the body and assists with detoxifying your system.

For individuals who are vulnerable to stress, compression therapy can help individuals develop a heightened awareness of their body in the present moment. These grounding techniques, which are valuable for managing anxiety and panic, allow stressed out individuals to anchoring themselves to the present reality, providing a sense of comfort, warmth, and security.

What Is Thermodynamic Therapy?

Thermodynamic heat therapy, also known as thermotherapy, is a therapeutic technique that involves applying heat to the body for various benefits. By utilizing methods such as hot packs, warm compresses, or heated devices, thermotherapy aims to relax muscles, alleviate pain, improve circulation and reduce stress. The application of heat promotes muscle relaxation, increases blood flow, and provides a soothing sensation, leading to temporary relief and a sense of relaxation.

Flowpresso employs thermotherapy in the four primary sections of the suite to surround the body with a gentle, healing and warmth. This creates a comforting environment that allows the body to rest and and fully relax. The Flowpresso warmth and temperature range are designed to encourage relaxation and sleep, promote circulation, and support an improvement in health and well-being.

Who Should Not Use Flowpresso?

The manufacturer does not recommend Flowpresso for individuals with the following conditions:

• Acute inflammation (e.g. phlebitis and thrombosis)
• Infection complications (e.g. ulcers)
• Pregnancy
• Back or hip issues (unless approved by a doctor)
• Broken bones
• Abdominal spinal curvature
• Congestive heart failure

Sports Performance

Discover the incredible benefits of compression and deep pressure therapies that can take your sports performance to new heights. Imagine that after an intense workout or competition, you slip into the Flowpresso compression garment, instantly feeling the increased blood flow to your muscles. It’s like a surge of rejuvenation, reducing muscle soreness and fatigue, leaving you ready to conquer your next challenge.

Compression, Thermodynamic Heat and deep pressure therapies can play a role in sports recovery by promoting physical relaxation, reducing muscle soreness, and aiding in the body’s natural healing processes. Here’s how these therapies can be beneficial:

Enhanced Blood Circulation: Flowpresso’s compression and deep pressure applied through massage techniques can help improve blood circulation. Better blood flow means increased oxygen and nutrient delivery to the muscles, which aids in the removal of waste products like lactic acid, helping to reduce muscle soreness and fatigue after intense physical activity.

Reduced Swelling and Inflammation: Compression garments can help prevent or reduce swelling and inflammation, which are common after intense workouts or sports activities. By applying gentle pressure to the affected areas, these therapies can assist in minimizing fluid buildup and supporting the body’s natural healing response.

Muscle Relaxation: Deep pressure massage or compression therapy can induce muscle relaxation, easing tension and stiffness in overworked muscles. This can lead to better range of motion, improved flexibility, and decreased risk of muscle imbalances or injuries during recovery.

Psychological Benefits: Both compression and deep pressure therapies have calming effects on the nervous system, promoting a sense of relaxation and well-being. This can be particularly helpful for athletes who experience stress or performance-related anxiety, as relaxation can contribute to overall recovery and mental readiness for future challenges.

Faster Recovery Time: By aiding in muscle repair and reducing soreness, compression and deep pressure therapies may contribute to a faster recovery time between training sessions or competitions, allowing athletes to maintain a consistent training schedule and improve overall performance.

It’s important to note that while Flowpresso’s compression, heat and deep pressure therapies can be beneficial for sports recovery, they are not a substitute for proper rest, nutrition, and appropriate recovery strategies. Each athlete’s recovery needs are unique, and a comprehensive approach to sports recovery, which may include compression, heat and deep pressure techniques, should be tailored to individual goals and requirements. IV Vitamin Therapy can also be a game-changer for sports recovery. As always, it’s recommended to consult with medical professionals for personalized guidance on the most effective recovery strategies based on specific athletic activities and individual needs.

NVT Therapy

Flowpresso also employs nano vibrational technology to enhance the combination of therapies. It delivers a proprietary vibrational frequency, stimulated by the conductivity of body heat. This technology has shown to increase energy flow and circulation within the body, whilst encouraging repair and restoration.
