As we enter a new year, many of us enthusiastically embrace resolutions to adopt healthier lifestyles. What if we told you that an essential element of your new health routine could be right in your wardrobe?
The Power of Compression Therapy
Compression therapy is a therapeutic technique that involves applying controlled pressure to specific areas of the body. The primary mechanism behind compression lies in its ability to support blood circulation, gently guiding it back towards your heart and allowing deoxygenated blood to be replenished with revitalising oxygen. Improved circulation can be beneficial for reducing swelling and promoting healing in various medical conditions and after surgical procedures.
Compression in Your Health Routine
Compression therapy extends beyond postoperative care, proving to be a versatile and proactive approach to overall wellness. Take the ACTIVE leggings by LIPOELASTIC®️ – a garment and a great helper in supporting your lymphatic system. Applying gentle pressure helps stimulate lymphatic drainage and reduce fluid retention. And guess what? The bonus is in the mirror – thanks to enhanced blood flow, they help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
The best thing about your new health routine is its simplicity. If you already own a pair of compression leggings, wear them! Many of our patients wear compression garments as part of their healthy lifestyle routine – for sports, everyday chores, and even during travel.
Not All Compression Leggings are the Same
Not all leggings are the same, especially when it comes to compression. If you decide to invest in quality compression leggings, choose a certified medical device providing medical-grade compression. Look for leggings crafted from breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics to keep you comfortable during extended wear. Pay attention to the fit – they should feel snug but not restrictive. Lastly, ensure you choose the right size; correct sizing is crucial for compression to work efficiently.
