Step Up Your Recovery Game: Exploring the Benefits of Compression Sleeves

What are compression sleeves?
You’ve probably seen it – people relaxing in fully inflated compression boots after race day. These boots consist of inflatable chambers that wrap around the legs, from the feet to the thighs, applying sequential compression to the muscles and soft tissues.

What are the benefits of compression sleeves?

• Enhanced Circulation: Compression boots apply graduated pressure to the legs, promoting blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. This increased circulation helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to tired muscles while flushing out metabolic waste products, accelerating recovery and reducing muscle soreness.
• Faster Recovery: After a long run or intense workout, our muscles need time to repair and rebuild. Compression boots expedite the recovery process by reducing inflammation, easing muscle tension, and promoting relaxation. The rhythmic compression provided by the boots mimics the natural pumping action of the muscles, helping to clear out metabolic waste and encourage faster tissue repair and regeneration.
• Reduced Muscle Soreness: Few things dampen the joy of running like waking up to stiff, achy muscles the next day. Compression boots can help alleviate post-run muscle soreness by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation. Many runners report feeling less soreness and stiffness after using compression boots, allowing them to get back to training sooner and with less discomfort.
• Convenience and Ease of Use: Unlike traditional recovery methods like ice baths or foam rolling, compression boots offer a convenient and hassle-free way to recover. Simply slip on the boots, sit back, and relax while the boots do the work. This makes compression boots an ideal recovery tool for busy runners who may not have time for lengthy recovery sessions or who prefer a more passive recovery approach.

When to book your session?
Throw it in whenever you have time, come sit, relax or do your work. After a hard workout or long run day, give your legs a well deserved treat – especially if you don’t have your bathing suit ready for the cold plunge, or don’t have time to shower off the sweat from sauna.
