Compression therapy is a rehabilitation technique that uses elastic garments, bandages, or mechanical devices to apply pressure to the limbs, promoting circulation and reducing swelling. It is often used for conditions such as chronic venous insufficiency, edema, and lymphedema.

The pressure from compression therapy helps improve blood flow, reduce fluid buildup, and prevent the formation of blood clots. It also supports tissue healing and reduces the discomfort associated with swelling. Compression therapy can be applied using compression stockings, sleeves, or pneumatic compression devices, depending on the specific needs of the patient.

Compression therapy is highly effective in managing swelling and improving circulation, making it an essential component of rehabilitation for individuals with edema or venous conditions.
