Air compression therapy system uses a digitally controlled air pressure system to provide compression to limbs. Generally, this is used on the legs and arms. An air compression massager is a device that you put your legs or arms into which can help improve the blood circulation. The increased blood flow would help to speed up the healing process post-injury. It also serves as therapy to ease muscle soreness after a workout or training session. Leg compression sleeves are usual staples in physical therapy sessions and hospitals. it has a hose that connects the cuffs to the machine which uses air compression to press and massage the foot, ankle, calves, knees and thighs; or the hand, wrist, lower limb, elbow and upper limb to stimulate blood flow, drain fluid, and ease fatigue from the lower extremities.
Benefits:
There have been studies conducted on the positive effects of compression machines on the body but the results have been mixed. A 2013 study says the machines did nothing to improve recovery after strenuous exercise contrasts with a 2015 study that showed improved blood flow and decreased inflammation in the compressed area.
Use of a compression machine is recommended after recent surgery to increase blood flow in the body, particularly the lower extremities which helps pump blood back to the heart. Increased blood flow keeps the injured area nourished with oxygen-rich blood leading to faster tissue repair.
Another crucial function of the compression machines is it lessens the risk of blood clots forming when the legs cannot be moved or used.
This is especially crucial when you are bed bound and have limited mobility.
Increasing the blood flow heals tissue, soothes pain, and lessens scarring.
