Leg Compression Therapy in Norwich

Boost Recovery, Reduce Swelling, and Improve Circulation at ProActive Rehab

At ProActive Rehab, we specialise in sports massage and injury rehab in Norwich, helping athletes, gym-goers, and those dealing with swelling, fatigue, or recovery issues. One of the most effective tools we use alongside manual therapy is leg compression therapy, a powerful recovery technique designed to improve circulation, reduce soreness, and accelerate healing in the lower limbs.

Whether you’re recovering from intense training, managing chronic swelling, or bouncing back from an injury, leg compression therapy can support your recovery and performance in ways traditional massage alone can’t.

💡 What Is Leg Compression Therapy?

Leg compression therapy uses dynamic air-filled sleeves (such as Normatec boots) that rhythmically inflate and deflate around the legs. This creates a pulsing, massage-like effect that encourages blood flow and lymphatic drainage through the limbs.

Unlike static compression (like compression socks), this active therapy mimics the muscle pump action of walking or movement, without putting stress on your joints or muscles.

✅ Benefits of Leg Compression Therapy

✔ Reduces muscle soreness and fatigue after training

✔ Flushes out metabolic waste and lactic acid

✔ Improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles

✔ Decreases swelling and inflammation in the lower limbs

✔ Speeds up recovery after sports, injury, or surgery

✔ Helps treat tight calves, quads, hamstrings, and feet

Whether you’ve just finished a heavy gym session or you’re on your feet all day, leg compression therapy in Norwich can help restore energy and reduce soreness fast.

🔍 Who Is It For?

At ProActive Rehab, our leg compression therapy is suitable for:

🏃‍♂️ Athletes and gym-goers – for rapid recovery and performance boost

🧍 Manual workers or office professionals – to reduce daily swelling and fatigue

💥 Injury rehab clients – as part of a full recovery plan

🦵 Those with poor circulation or lymphatic drainage issues

♿ Clients with limited mobility or chronic pain – as a low-impact recovery tool

If you’re looking for massage in Norwich but can’t tolerate deep pressure work, leg compression therapy is an excellent alternative or complement.

🔧 How It Works

During your session at ProActive Rehab, you’ll relax in a seated or reclined position while the compression boots are applied from your feet up to your thighs. The sleeves then cycle through a pattern of inflation and deflation, applying pressure in graduated waves that mimic natural muscle movement.

A standard session lasts 20–30 minutes, and can be paired with other treatments like sports massage, cupping, or red light therapy depending on your recovery goals.

🧠 The Science Behind It

Leg compression therapy supports both the venous system (which returns deoxygenated blood to the heart) and the lymphatic system (which removes waste and toxins). This leads to:

💨 Faster removal of lactic acid and inflammation

🩸 Increased nutrient delivery to muscle tissues

🛠 Reduced DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)

💪 Improved muscle recovery and resilience

It’s a proven recovery strategy used by professional athletes, physiotherapists, and sports rehab clinics worldwide—and now available in Norwich at ProActive Rehab.

🔄 Leg Compression Therapy + Sports Massage in Norwich

Combining leg compression therapy with sports massage provides the best of both worlds:

  • Compression therapy enhances circulation and drainage
  • Sports massage focuses on muscle tension, adhesions, and deeper tissue release

Together, they support faster recovery from:

🦵 Muscle strains

🚶 Shin splints

🦶 Plantar fasciitis

⚽ Overtraining or sport-specific fatigue

🧊 Post-surgical swelling and stiffness

This powerful combo is ideal for anyone undergoing injury rehab in Norwich or simply wanting to take their recovery to the next level.
