Compression Therapy

A thirty-minute pneumatic compression session using sequential air-pressure boots that massage the legs from feet to hips. The rhythmic inflation and deflation pattern is designed to enhance lymphatic drainage, reduce fluid retention, and accelerate recovery after exercise.

Pneumatic compression therapy uses inflatable boots that sequentially pressurise compartments from the feet upward through the calves, thighs, and hips. The graduated pressure pattern mimics the body's natural venous and lymphatic return mechanisms, helping to flush metabolic waste products from the muscles and reduce swelling in the lower extremities. The treatment is widely used in professional sport for post-training and post-competition recovery, and has become increasingly popular among recreational athletes and wellness-oriented individuals. The mechanical compression may help reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness, improve circulation in the legs, and support lymphatic function — particularly after long periods of sitting, standing, or travel. Sessions at HEAT last thirty minutes, during which guests can relax in the Biohacker Lounge area. The compression intensity is adjustable to individual comfort. No special preparation is required. Compression therapy pairs effectively with cryotherapy and infrared sauna as part of a multi-modality recovery stack — a combination that HEAT offers through its programme packages for visitors seeking a more comprehensive session.
