What's included
4 deliverables in this treatment
- 25-minute pneumatic compression session
- Sequential pressure boots covering feet to upper thighs
- Adjustable pressure settings
- Relaxed seated or reclined position
A 25-minute compression therapy session using pneumatic pressure boots that inflate sequentially from the feet upward through the calves and thighs. The rhythmic compression pattern mimics the body's natural muscle pump to promote lymphatic drainage, improve venous return, reduce post-exercise swelling, and accelerate metabolic waste clearance. The treatment is entirely passive — clients sit or recline while the boots do the work.
About this treatment
Cryo Tokyo's compression therapy uses pneumatic pressure boots that wrap around the legs from the feet to the upper thighs. During the 25-minute session, individual chambers within the boots inflate and deflate in a sequential pattern, starting at the feet and working upward. This graduated compression mimics the action of skeletal muscle contractions during walking or running, driving fluid through the lymphatic system and venous network.
The lymphatic system relies on mechanical movement to transport metabolic waste, excess fluid, and inflammatory byproducts away from tissues. After intense exercise, this system can become overwhelmed, leading to swelling, heaviness, and prolonged soreness. Pneumatic compression accelerates the clearance process by providing consistent, rhythmic pressure that the body cannot replicate while at rest.
At Cryo Tokyo, the compression boots operate through multiple pressure settings that staff can adjust based on individual comfort and recovery needs. Lower pressure settings suit general maintenance and relaxation, while higher settings target deeper lymphatic mobilisation for athletes recovering from heavy training loads or competition.
