Lymphatic Compression Therapy

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…

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.
