Compression Therapy

A 30-minute pneumatic compression therapy session using full-leg sleeves that sequentially inflate and deflate to simulate a deep massage effect. The graduated pressure pattern moves from the feet upward through the calves, knees, and thighs, promoting lymphatic drainage and venous return. Pressure intensity is adjustable to suit individual comfort, from gentle pulsing to firm compression. Compression therapy is commonly used by athletes for post-exercise recovery and by individuals seeking temporary relief from leg heaviness and swelling. Available at both Mission and Marina locations, with a 25 percent member discount. Sessions can be combined with other recovery modalities during the same visit.

Compression Therapy at Reboot Float & Cryo Spa uses pneumatic compression boots that encase the legs from foot to upper thigh. The device applies sequential, wave-like pressure starting at the feet and moving progressively upward through the calves, knees, and thighs. Each compression cycle inflates individual chambers in sequence, holds briefly, then releases before beginning the next cycle. The effect closely mimics the action of manual lymphatic drainage massage but delivers consistent, calibrated pressure throughout the session. The primary physiological mechanism behind pneumatic compression is the enhancement of venous return and lymphatic flow. By mechanically pushing fluid from the extremities back toward the core, compression therapy may help reduce the accumulation of metabolic waste products in the legs following exercise. This is why compression boots have become a standard recovery tool in professional sports, endurance training, and high-volume fitness programs. Sessions last 30 minutes, during which guests recline in a comfortable chair while the compression sleeves cycle through multiple pressure patterns. Intensity and pressure levels can be adjusted to suit individual comfort, ranging from a gentle pulsing sensation to firm, deep compression. Staff assist with fitting the sleeves and selecting an appropriate starting intensity, especially for first-time users who may not know their preferred pressure level. Beyond athletic recovery, compression therapy is used by individuals who spend long periods standing or sitting, travellers recovering from extended flights, and anyone experiencing temporary leg heaviness or mild swelling that does not require medical intervention. The rhythmic compression often produces a deeply relaxing effect, and many guests report feeling noticeably lighter in their legs immediately after a session. Compression therapy is available at both the Mission and Marina locations. Members receive a 25 percent discount, and sessions can be booked as a standalone treatment or combined with other modalities such as infrared sauna, cryotherapy, or contrast therapy during the same visit. Pairing compression with cold exposure or sauna is a popular combination for visitors seeking a comprehensive recovery session.
