Compression therapy is the application of external pressure to the legs to reduce the venous pressure. External pressure to the limb reduces the lymph fluids in the legs, which brings the limb to a dry state. This is known as edema. Ongoing maintenance with compression therapy and compression stockings can help your legs obtain better health. The goals of compression therapy are to prevent the decrease in blood flow velocity, restore blood flow to normal velocity and to reduce and prevent edema.
