Compression Therapy
Available At Select Studios
Understanding Compression Technology
Compression boots utilize sophisticated air-filled chambers that systematically inflate and deflate around your legs. This dynamic process mimics natural muscle contractions, which significantly boosts circulation and enhances lymphatic drainage throughout your lower extremities. This muscle recovery treatment effectively flushes out metabolic waste, setting the stage for rapid healing and improved physical comfort.
BENEFITS OF COMPRESSION
Relief for Daily Leg Fatigue
Compression therapy is not exclusive to elite athletes; it is perfect for anyone recovering from a long day of standing or walking. If your job keeps you on your feet, this treatment offers general relaxation and reduces muscle tension. It provides a soothing escape that alleviates the heaviness accumulated during daily life.
Accelerating Post-Workout Recovery
After a strenuous gym session, your muscles need support to repair efficiently. The sequential pressure applied by our recovery boots therapy speeds up this process by facilitating the removal of lactate and other waste products. This allows your muscle fibers to rebuild at an accelerated rate, reducing downtime between your training sessions.
Boosting Overall Circulation
Effective circulation is the cornerstone of muscle health and vitality. Our boots mimic the body's natural pumping action to maintain steady blood flow, ensuring vital nutrients are delivered to your tissues. This improved circulation not only aids in immediate recovery but also supports long-term vascular health in your lower limbs helping to reduce stiffness.
Managing Swelling and Injuries
For individuals managing minor leg injuries or post-surgical swelling, this therapy offers significant relief by moving excess fluid away from affected areas. By enhancing circulation, the boots help alleviate swelling and promote faster healing. This reduction in fluid buildup is crucial for minimizing discomfort and getting you back on your feet sooner.
Combining with Assisted Stretch
While compression is powerful on its own, pairing it with assisted stretch therapy maximizes your results. Stretching improves flexibility while compression handles metabolic waste removal, creating a comprehensive wellness routine. Visit us in Rancho Bernardo, San Marcos, Creve Coeur, Chesterfield, St. Peters, or U City (Pershing) to experience this dual-recovery approach. Contact us today to get started.

I’ve been to Stretch U many times and been treated by many different employees. Whoever you get, they are all great at the stretches and personalizing them to your needs. Most of all, they are all friendly and professional Highly recommend! Won’t be going anywhere else.

I'm so glad I finally tried Stretch U! I am a professional Massage Therapist, plus I lift heavy weights with a trainer 2 hours a week. I have had trouble finding a massage therapist skilled and knowledgable enough to give me the deep work that I need. So I tried Stretch U, and it has been a great addition to my self care routine. Since I added stretching sessions I am less sore from my workouts and work, and I'm sleeping better!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Stretch U!!!! I’ve been getting stretched for about two months now and my flexibility is almost 100% restored!!! The stretch members know their stuff! Although, I’ve been partial to Cameron; I believe ALL of the stretch staff members are equally awesome!

Very fun environment. Friendly staff. I cannot tell you how much it helps physcially and mentally. It leaves your stress behind. Im also a golfer and it has helped tremendously wuth being more limber and has increased swing speed. Definitely give this a try.
Brent Rushing
The staff are very professional and excellent at what they do. Stretch U is much better than a sports massage or Physcial Therapy session. Stretch U heals the body better and helps those deteriorating joints. Kyle was our technician and does an excellent job healing our bodies! Try it, you'll appreciate it.

After having two stretch sessions with Jordan, I feel so much better. I was not sure what to expect as I had never been to a “stretch” session before. Jordan made me feel very welcome and comfortable. He is very professional. A great technique with much improvement after the very first stretch.
