Post-Surgery Compression Therapy
Serving the Greater Los Angeles County Area, including La Verne, Claremont, Glendora, San Dimas, CA
Surgery asks a lot of your body. Swelling, heaviness, and stiffness often linger long after the stitches come out, and your legs can feel slow even after you return to your normal routine. Many people look for a gentle way to support circulation while they recover.
At Recovery Lab of La Verne, we offer NormaTec compression therapy to clients with their surgeon’s approval. Air-pressure sleeves squeeze in sequence from your feet toward your hips, moving fluid the way your lymphatic and circulatory systems already do. Compression is a recovery tool, not medical treatment, and we use it alongside your care team’s guidance.
POST-SURGERY COMPRESSION THERAPY
- How Can Compression Therapy Support Recovery After Surgery?
After a procedure, fluid can settle in your legs, ankles, and feet. You move less, so your muscles do less of the pumping work. NormaTec’s rhythmic compression copies the pumping action, which may help ease swelling, heaviness, and tightness while supporting circulation.
Many clients find the sessions calming. You sit back, breathe, and let the sleeves work. You do not stretch, strain, or push through anything. We cannot promise specific results, because every recovery moves at its own pace.
- Is NormaTec Safe After Surgery?
Safety starts with your surgeon. Ask before you book, especially after a leg, hip, or abdominal procedure. Clients with a history of blood clots, circulatory conditions, or open wounds in the treatment area need medical clearance first.
Tell your recovery specialist about your procedure, your surgeon’s instructions, and any restrictions before your session starts. We work alongside your medical team, never in its place. If your surgeon recommends waiting, wait. Compression will still be here when you are ready.
- What Is a Session Like?
You settle into a comfortable position, and a recovery specialist fits the sleeves over your legs. Pressure starts at your feet and moves up toward your hips in a steady, rhythmic pattern. The sensation feels firm but comfortable, like a deep, slow squeeze.
Sessions typically run about 30 minutes, and your specialist can adjust the length to fit your needs. If anything feels wrong, speak up, and your specialist will adjust the settings. Most clients finish feeling lighter and less tense than when they started.
