Nobody enjoys dealing with sore muscles after physical activity.

You know the feeling.

You had a killer session in the gym or ran a marathon and you are so proud that you pushed yourself to go far beyond your normal limits.

But tomorrow morning you’ll instantly forget about your achievement when familiar muscle pain hits as you try to get out of bed.

Luckily, professional athletes have a few secrets up their sleeves.

And Compression is one of them.

What is Compression Therapy?

Have you seen the pictures of professional athletes like LeBron James and Kevin Durant wearing special suits that flooded social media?

Nowadays, it’s a common practice for NBA players and other professional athletes to do Compression after their competitions and training sessions.

But what is a Compression?

Compression can be defined as the application of pressure to an object. The main goal of Compression is to improve circulation.

By applying gentle pressure to the skin, Compression Therapy can help to increase the flow of blood. This can improve the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscles, helping to reduce inflammation and speed up the healing process.

For example, compression bandages are commonly used to help reduce the size of a bruise. By applying pressure to the area, the bandage helps to limit the amount of blood that flows into the tissue, allowing the bruise to heal more quickly.

Besides reducing swelling, Compression can also help to improve circulation and prevent the formation of blood clots.

As a result, it is often used as a treatment for venous insufficiency and other cardiovascular conditions.

But no matter the amazing effects different compression garments like bandages and socks may create, modern technology has an even better solution: NormaTec, a golden standard of Compression Therapy.

And yes, you can enjoy the benefits of this device at Restore Hyper Wellness Columbus.

What are the benefits of Compression for athletes?

One thing professional athletes understand is that recovery is equally important as training.

It’s impossible to improve athletic performance if the body doesn’t have enough time to recover. In addition, vigorous physical activity is a stress for the body, no matter how well-trained the body is.

This is why Compression is so popular with professional athletes.

From Amy Cragg, an American track and field athlete and two-time Olympian winner, to Thiago Silva, a famous Brazilian football player, everyone loves Compression.

It’s because Compression may help them:

● Boost athletic recovery
● Reduce muscle aches & pain
● Improve flexibility & mobility

As a result, athletes who use Compression may recover from injuries more quickly and experience less pain during their workouts.

Compression garments can also help improve performance by providing support for the muscles and joints. For these reasons, Compression Therapy is an essential part of any athlete’s training regimen.

But the list of benefits doesn’t end here because Compression may also help the body:

Improve lymphatic function, circulation & blood flow
Prevent deep vein thrombosis
Improve vascular age
Relax & unwind

So Compression may not only help professional athletes improve athletic performance and boost healing after exercise, but it may also help them relax and look even better.

No wonder why everyone adores Compression.
