Pneumatic compression therapy
Compression Therapy
Restore circulation, reduce swelling and accelerate recovery — delivered to you by a Registered Nurse.
What is Compression Therapy?
Compression therapy uses controlled, graduated pressure applied to the limbs to improve blood and lymphatic circulation throughout the body.
Pneumatic compression devices — the gold standard used in clinical and elite sports settings — use inflatable sleeves that gently squeeze and release in a rhythmic pattern, mimicking the natural pumping action of your muscles. This helps move blood and lymphatic fluid back towards the heart, reducing pooling, swelling and inflammation.
At Lumivé Wellness Australia, compression therapy is delivered by a Registered Nurse using professional-grade equipment — brought directly to your home, hotel or workplace in Brisbane.
Benefits of Compression Therapy
Clinically supported. Professionally delivered.
Improved Circulation
Enhances blood flow through the veins and capillaries, reducing the risk of blood pooling and supporting cardiovascular health.
Reduced Swelling & Oedema
Helps manage fluid retention and swelling in the legs and arms — particularly beneficial after long flights, surgery, or periods of inactivity.
Faster Athletic Recovery
Widely used by elite athletes to flush out metabolic waste products like lactic acid after intense training, reducing soreness and downtime.
Lymphatic Support
Stimulates the lymphatic system to remove toxins and waste more efficiently, supporting immune function and reducing inflammation.
Reduced Muscle Soreness
Decreases delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) by improving nutrient delivery and waste removal in muscle tissue.
DVT Prevention Support
Compression therapy is clinically recognised as an effective tool for reducing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in at-risk individuals.
How It Works
