Lymphatic Compression Therapy

A 30-minute lymphatic 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.

Rekoop Flex's lymphatic compression therapy uses pneumatic pressure boots that wrap around the legs from the feet to the upper thighs. Over 30 minutes, 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 movement, driving fluid through the lymphatic system and venous network without any effort from the client. The lymphatic system depends on mechanical movement to transport metabolic waste, excess fluid, and inflammatory byproducts away from tissues. After intense exercise, prolonged sitting, or long-haul travel, this system can become sluggish, leading to swelling, heaviness, and a feeling of stiffness in the legs. Pneumatic compression accelerates the clearance process by providing consistent, rhythmic pressure that the body cannot replicate while at rest. At Rekoop Flex, staff adjust the boot pressure settings based on individual comfort and recovery objectives. Lower pressure levels suit general maintenance and relaxation, while higher settings target deeper lymphatic mobilisation for athletes recovering from heavy training sessions or competition. The boots accommodate most leg sizes and fit comfortably over standard athletic wear or casual clothing. At S$40 per session, lymphatic compression is the most affordable modality at Rekoop Flex, making it an accessible entry point for first-time visitors or a low-cost add-on to a cryotherapy or sauna session. The entirely passive nature of the treatment — sit back, recline, and let the boots work — makes it popular with time-pressed professionals who want recovery benefits without active effort. Reading, using a phone, or simply closing your eyes for 30 minutes are all common during the session. The treatment is particularly useful after leg-dominant exercise, long flights into Singapore, or extended periods of standing. Staying hydrated before and after supports the lymphatic drainage process.
