What is Compression Therapy?

Compression Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive technique designed to enhance lymphatic function and optimise circulation. By reducing inflammation, accelerating recovery, and improving mobility, it supports the body’s natural healing processes and overall performance.

The Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system is an intricate network of vessels that works in tandem with the cardiovascular system to maintain cellular health and detoxify the body. It quietly performs a vital role in maintaining internal balance and overall well-being.

Integral to this system are lymph nodes, which purify lymphatic fluid by removing excess proteins, minerals, fats, damaged cells, and harmful toxins, including pathogens and cancerous cells.

What is Lymphatic Health?

A compromised lymphatic system—due to illness, stress, or an unhealthy lifestyle—can lead to issues such as tissue swelling, diminished skin quality, excess weight, cellulite, headaches, joint discomfort, fatigue, and a weakened immune response.

Optimised lymphatic health enhances your body’s ability to eliminate toxins, fortify immunity, and improve overall physical performance, enabling you to maintain a healthier, more resilient state.

If you are, or may be, pregnant, please seek medical advice before use. (For further details on pregnancy, please see the question below on pregnancy.)

In the following circumstances, you should not consider compression therapy:

  • If you are undergoing or have recently completed cancer treatment.
  • If you have been diagnosed with blood clots, deep vein thrombosis or phlebitis.

FAQs on Compression Therapy

What should I wear?

It is recommended that you wear comfortable clothing. Ideally, you should consider sportswear, including leggings, tracksuits and socks.

What is the therapy like, and is it uncomfortable?

The Body Ballancer treatment does not hurt. The gentle, rhythmic compression action promotes relaxation whilst boosting immune system function. The therapy provides a smooth, flowing massage over the entire treated area, providing a relaxing, enjoyable and even comforting experience.

How long is the therapy?

We have many general and specific therapies that range in length between 30 and 45 minutes. The optimum therapy length is 45 minutes if you have the time.

How do I know what therapy or program I need?

Our therapies are expertly programmed to achieve specific outcomes and tailored to meet individual needs. All you need to do is select your treatment length when booking, and one of our health optimisers will help you when you are with us.

How many treatments can I have?

There are no restrictions on the number of treatments you can have; however, multiple sessions are recommended for optimal effect.

It is advised that ongoing regular use will help support optimisation and maintain the benefits through treatments. We recommend at least two therapies per week for maximum benefit.

Can this be combined with other therapies?

Definitely. We advise combining therapies (bio-stacking) to advance results and achieve optimal outcomes. We also advise that when you commence your optimisation journey with us, you undergo compression therapy initially to prepare your body to derive maximum benefit from each individual therapy.

Can I have Compression therapy if I am pregnant?

Absolutely. It can really help through pregnancy (especially the third trimester), by relieving the discomfort of heaviness and tightness caused by water retention. Beyond this, it will lessen or even prevent the formation of spider and varicose veins, alongside reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Post-pregnancy (recommended waiting period: 6 weeks) will also benefit you, helping to burn off excess fat, remove unwanted fluids, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and aid in your body’s recovery.

Please note that in both the above instances, massaging of the area directly over the abdomen is deactivated.

When is compression therapy not advised?

If you have any of the following conditions or if you are unsure, you should seek medical advice before booking:

  • Pain and/or numbness that has not been evaluated by a doctor.
  • Ischemic vascular disease, including pain at rest and gangrene.
  • Uncontrolled congestive heart failure or unstable cardiac disease.
  • Known or suspected deep-vein thrombosis.
  • Infected skin or an infected open wound.
  • Phlebitis.
