Sessions run 20–30 minutes. You'll slide into boot or sleeve attachments that connect to a compressor unit. The pressure cycles feel like a progressive squeeze starting at the feet and moving up the leg — most users find it comfortable or pleasurable, similar to a deep massage.

Compression therapy in a recovery studio context refers to pneumatic compression devices — most commonly sequential compression boots, leg sleeves, or hip systems — that use air pressure to intermittently squeeze and release the limbs in a wave-like pattern from the extremities toward the core. The most recognized brand is NormaTec (now part of Hyperice), though multiple manufacturers produce similar devices.
