Compression therapy is a widely studied and used form of therapy in hospitals, at homes across the world, and in athletic training centers.
Compression is found to work best when combined with movement, which is why the Normatec system available at the center is so efficient. It acts as a “pump” by compressing and relieving pressure on a chosen area while and improving blood circulation. It can be used to treat swelling (pregnancy, lymphedema, long periods of sitting, flights), lactic acid build up in athletes, chronic venous insufficiency and varicose veins, orthostatic hypotension, and deep vein thrombosis.
At Elixir Health and Wellness we offer a variety of units.
The arm unit focuses on palms, wrists, forearms, biceps and triceps, as well as across the chest and over the traps. This is widely used by pitchers and boxers, as well as warehouse and construction workers.
The hip unit focuses on the upper legs, glutes, and lower back. This is beneficial to golfers and those who spend a lot day in meetings and sitting.
The leg unit compresses everything from the bottoms of your feet to the calves, quads, and hamstrings. This is ideal for runners and fighters, as well as for pregnant women or those who stand for most of the day like nurses, doctors, and those in hospitality.

Compression therapy involves you putting on a sleeve, similar to a blood pressure cuff but much larger.

The arm sleeve fits like a shirt sleeve and compresses from the fingertips to the chest/upper back. The hip sleeve fits like a pair of shorts and compresses the thighs, glutes, and lower back.

What should I bring and wear?
You can read, nap, meditate, listen to a podcast, work on your laptop, take calls, or watch a show during the treatment. Please bring headphones if you will be watching something. You will remove your shoes for the leg unit, but otherwise can wear anything you'll be comfortable sitting in.
