Lymphatic Compression Therapy

Sequential pneumatic compression suits at Remedy Place apply pulsed air pressure to the legs and lower body in a proximal-to-distal pattern, mechanically stimulating the lymphatic system. The 60-minute session may support fluid drainage, reduce exercise-related swelling, and accelerate lower-limb recovery. Included in the Day Pass and the Jet Lag Protocol. Particularly popular post-flight and post-training.

Lymphatic compression therapy at Remedy Place uses full-leg and hip pneumatic compression garments — similar to NormaTec-style sequential compression systems — that inflate in a wave pattern from the foot upward to the hip, mimicking the natural proximal-to-distal action of the lymphatic system's intrinsic pumping mechanism. The lymphatic system is a low-pressure circulatory network that lacks an active pump (unlike the cardiovascular system's heart), relying instead on body movement, muscle contractions, and intrinsic vessel pulsations to propel lymphatic fluid from the extremities back toward the thoracic duct. When lymph flow is impaired by sedentary periods, long-haul flights, intense training, or soft tissue trauma, fluid accumulates in the interstitial space of the limbs — presenting as heaviness, swelling, and reduced range of motion. Sequential pneumatic compression augments the mechanical pump action of the lymphatic vessels, accelerating fluid clearance from the lower extremities. The 60-minute session duration allows multiple full compression cycles through the leg compartments, providing meaningful cumulative drainage. At Remedy Place, lymphatic compression is recommended for post-flight recovery (featured in the Jet Lag Protocol at $525 alongside an IV drip and hyperbaric session), post-training muscle recovery, and as a regular maintenance modality for members with high activity levels. The session is passive — clients recline in the compression garments while the sequential inflation cycle runs automatically — making it combinable in sequence with an IV drip or red light session on the same visit. The Day Pass ($350) includes lymphatic compression as part of its service bundle.
