How it works
Inside a pneumatic compressions session.
Slip on the sleeves
You settle into a recliner as we wrap the sleeves around your legs (or arms) and connect them to the pump.
Sequential inflation
Chambers inflate from the extremity upward, mimicking the body’s natural venous return.
Clear and refresh
Rhythmic pressure moves lymph and used blood out, and fresh oxygenated blood in as pressure releases.
Rest and repeat
Most patients close their eyes and enjoy it. It pairs perfectly with red light or PEMF running at the same time.
