Pneumatic Compression Therapy
Pneumatic Compression Therapy is a non-invasive treatment method utilized in physiotherapy to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and promote healing in the extremities.
This therapy involves the use of specially designed compression devices that apply intermittent pressure to the limbs, mimicking the natural muscle pump action. By alternating between compression and release cycles, pneumatic compression therapy enhances blood and lymphatic flow, helping to remove excess fluid and metabolic waste from the tissues.
This process reduces swelling, alleviates discomfort, and accelerates recovery from various conditions such as lymphedema, venous insufficiency, and sports injuries. Pneumatic compression therapy is safe, comfortable, and well-tolerated by patients.
It can be customized to suit individual needs and is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to optimize outcomes and improve overall quality of life. At Human Care Physio, we offer pneumatic compression therapy as part of our commitment to providing holistic care for our patients’ well-being.
