Compression Therapy

Pneumatic compression therapy using Normatec-style sleeves at Restore Denver applies sequential pressure waves to the legs, arms, or hips to support lymphatic drainage, blood circulation, and recovery from exercise or travel. Sessions run 45 to 60 minutes and are one of the most relaxing therapies at the studio. Available as a core therapy credit for all membership tiers or as a non-member walk-in session.

Restore Hyper Wellness South Broadway offers pneumatic compression therapy using Normatec-style sequential compression sleeves that can be applied to the legs (full leg from foot to hip), arms (hand to shoulder), or hips/glutes depending on the recovery need. Pneumatic compression works by inflating and deflating chambers within the sleeve in a programmed peristaltic sequence — beginning at the foot or hand and moving proximally toward the body core — mimicking the natural action of the lymphatic and venous return system. This sequential inflation pattern creates a pressure gradient that actively propels lymphatic fluid and venous blood toward the body's central lymphatic drainage points, supporting the clearance of metabolic waste products such as lactic acid, fluid, and inflammatory mediators from the extremities. The benefits associated by practitioners with regular compression therapy use include reduced muscle soreness and heaviness after endurance events, improved circulation in the lower limbs (particularly relevant for desk-workers and frequent travellers who experience peripheral oedema and blood pooling), and accelerated recovery from resistance training. Sessions at Restore run 45 to 60 minutes — long enough to be genuinely restful and often described by clients as the most relaxing therapy on the menu. The sleeves deliver a firm but comfortable pressure, and most clients find the rhythmic inflation cycle deeply relaxing. Compression therapy can be combined with red light therapy or used as a standalone recovery modality. It is classified as a core therapy under all three Restore membership tiers and redeemable at one credit per session; non-members can book sessions at approximately $45 based on the studio's walk-in core therapy rate.
