Increased Circulation and Reduced Swelling

By applying consistent pressure to the body, compression therapy can help improve blood flow, reduce fluid retention, and promote recovery after exercise or injury. It can also help alleviate muscle fatigue and increase comfort during long periods of standing or sitting.

About the method

Compression therapy involves applying even pressure to a specific area of the body. The compression boots used in our treatment feature a computer-controlled compression system that alternates between contraction and expansion on each leg.

How the Treatment Works

The compression treatment can be booked as a 20- or 40-minute program, and you choose and adjust the pressure yourself during the treatment according to your needs and preferences. You can also choose to complement the compression treatment with relaxing and warming IR and red light on an IR mat. The compression boots are available in several sizes. Read more about which size to choose in our size guide.

We recommend wearing thin, soft tights, a top, and socks. Avoid loose items, buttons, zippers, jewelry, and watches.

Mandatory VitalityLab Intro

Before using the different methods in VitalityLab on your own, you’ll need to book a VitalityLab Intro session.

The VitalityLab Intro is a mandatory introduction session where our staff will guide you through the methods, their purpose and benefits, and how to use the equipment in practice. After that, you’ll be able to continue your sessions independently – safely and with the best possible results.
