Compression

Compression therapy uses external pressure to improve blood flow and circulation in the limbs, often by using graduated compression stockings, wraps, or bandages. Types of compression therapy

Compression stockings: These are elastic garments worn on the legs, with prescription-strength options available for specific medical needs. 

Wraps and bandages: These can be long-stretch, short-stretch, or multi-layered wraps, often used for more severe swelling or wound care. 

Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices: These are pumps that inflate and deflate cuffs around the limbs to create a massaging action that helps circulation and drainage.
