Compression Boot Therapy
Compression boot therapy uses dynamic air compression to massage the legs, improve circulation, and accelerate recovery. By applying rhythmic pressure to the lower limbs, it helps flush out metabolic waste, reduce muscle soreness, and relieve tension. Ideal for athletes, active individuals, or anyone experiencing fatigue or swelling, compression boots offer a relaxing and effective way to support daily recovery and overall leg health.
