Is Compression Therapy right for me?

“Compression therapy is a cornerstone in the management of venous and lymphatic insufficiency.”

— Journal of Vascular Surgery: Venous and Lymphatic Disorders

Compression therapy uses controlled pressure (typically through specially designed garments like sleeves, socks, or devices) to support veins and muscles, improve blood circulation, and reduce swelling.

It primarily helps by:

  • Enhancing blood flow back to the heart

  • Reducing swelling (edema) in legs, arms, or other areas

  • Preventing blood clots (especially deep vein thrombosis, DVT)

  • Speeding up recovery from exercise, injury, or surgery

  • Decreasing muscle soreness and improving lymphatic drainage (removing waste products from tissues)

Compression is used medically (e.g., after surgery or for varicose veins) and athletically (e.g., for faster muscle recovery).

  • Leg Compression | $10

    (10 MINUTES)

    Compression technology speeds up your body’s natural healing processes by enhancing blood flow to your muscles to facilitate cellular repair and protein synthesis, boosting lymphatic drainage to relieve inflammation and reduce swelling, and mobilizing waste products such as lactic acid and excess fluids. What you’ll notice is less stiffness and soreness, as well as increased mobility and flexibility.

What People Say

  • I noticed a difference after just one session! After a long week of training, my legs usually feel heavy and sore. Compression therapy at pH Labs helped me bounce back faster than I expected—less soreness, more energy, and I actually slept better too. ~Jasmine R.

  • It’s become a non-negotiable part of my recovery routine. I use the leg compression therapy after every intense workout. It’s incredibly relaxing and I feel the circulation boost immediately. I recover faster and my legs feel lighter. ~Daniel M.

The science behind Compression therapy

The importance of the lymphatic system is often overlooked, yet it plays a critical role in maintaining a strong immune system — our body's natural defense against viruses, infections, and chronic illness. A properly functioning lymphatic system helps keep the body's internal environment clean, balanced, and resilient.

According to the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic, every day about 20 liters of plasma circulate through our arteries and capillaries, delivering nutrients to cells and collecting waste. Most of this fluid is reabsorbed into the bloodstream, but about three liters seep into tissues. This excess fluid, known as lymph, is collected by the lymphatic system and returned to circulation. In the process, lymph carries immune cells like lymphocytes that detect and destroy invaders such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi — making it a vital pillar of immune health.

However, the lymphatic vessels, which operate under very low internal pressure and rely on small valves to move fluid in one direction, can become congested or sluggish. When this system is clogged or suboptimal, it can lead to a variety of issues, including:

  • Fluid retention

  • Sinus congestion

  • Respiratory problems

  • Weakened immune response

Compression therapy gently supports the natural flow of lymph by applying external pressure to the tissues. This pressure stimulates the movement of stagnant lymph, improves circulation, reduces swelling, and enhances immune system efficiency. Clinical research has shown that therapies promoting healthy lymphatic flow can aid recovery, decrease inflammation, and support whole-body wellness.

In short, compression therapy is not just about relieving swelling — it's about empowering your body's natural systems to detoxify, defend, and heal from within.

Most common questions about Compression therapy

  • Compression therapy uses an air pressure machine to inflate a suit that squeezes your arms, legs and/or abdomen in a rhythmic motion, similar to a massage. It is a painless, non-invasive detoxifying treatment.

    • Boost circulation - Speed up cellular repair by providing more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles while removing lactic acid and other by-products caused by exertion

    • Increase lymphatic function - Dramatically aid the body’s natural process of removing toxins and waste through the lymphatic system

    • Relieve muscle tension - Increase flexibility, improve muscle response and decrease the likelihood of injury by targeting tight, tense muscles and fascia.

  • Lymphatic drainage massage can be effective, particularly if you have lymphedema or have experienced lymphatic system damage from surgery or illness.

  • Compression therapy is considered safe. Some possible side effects include muscle pain  or redness/irritation where the pressure cuffs are in contact with your skin. 

  • We can affect the skin of the face, legs, back, hips and other problem areas. The positive changes are visible at the beginning of the treatment. After 2-3 sessions patients regain lightness in the body, a burst of energy. Upon completion, swellings disappear, skin tone improves, the spider angioma on legs reduces.

  • The number of sessions of compression therapy needed will depend on your health goals and your reason for doing this therapy. A typical treatment plan at pH Labs is between three and six sessions over the course of several weeks.  

  • You should hold off on compression therapy if you have a recent history of blood clots, heart problems, kidney issues, or cancer.
