Compression Therapy (50 min)

An extended 50-minute compression therapy session using the same pneumatic pressure boot system as the standard treatment, providing twice the duration for deeper lymphatic drainage and more thorough metabolic waste clearance. The longer format allows for additional compression cycles and is suited to athletes with higher recovery demands or anyone wanting a more comprehensive passive recovery experience.

The 50-minute compression therapy session at Cryo Tokyo doubles the treatment time of the standard 25-minute format, providing a more thorough and sustained approach to lower-body recovery. The same pneumatic pressure boots are used — wrapping from feet to upper thighs and inflating sequentially — but the extended duration allows for significantly more compression cycles to work through the legs. Each compression cycle pushes fluid upward through the lymphatic and venous systems, clearing metabolic waste products like lactate and reducing interstitial swelling. While the 25-minute session covers the essentials, the 50-minute format enables the pressure system to address deeper tissue layers and complete more passes through each leg segment. This is particularly beneficial after high-volume training blocks, competitive events, or periods of unusual physical demand. The extended session also serves a relaxation purpose. Many Cryo Tokyo clients use the longer compression treatment as a dedicated downtime block — an opportunity to rest, close their eyes, or catch up on reading while the boots provide a rhythmic, massage-like sensation. The combination of physical recovery and mental rest makes this format popular among time-pressed professionals who want to maximise the benefit of a single visit. Staff adjust pressure levels based on individual preferences and recovery objectives. Some clients prefer a gentler setting sustained over the full 50 minutes for a soothing experience, while others opt for firmer pressure to target stubborn soreness or post-race swelling. The boots accommodate most leg sizes and fit comfortably over standard athletic wear. The 50-minute session pairs well with whole-body cryotherapy — many clients book both on the same visit, using the cryotherapy for systemic cold exposure and the extended compression for focused lower-body fluid management. This combination addresses recovery from both a systemic and a localised perspective within a single studio visit.
