3+4/4 Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Therapy Treatment

Updated: 5 days ago

Similar to the last two, I have had a two further treatments of intermittent pneumatic compression therapy and finished the two week treatment. At these appointments, the same process happened with the same mmHg on the flowtron. After cutting off the wrap in the 4th session, the treatment seems to have been successful with a reduction of swelling. I have been measured for a new tighter and better fitting Class 3 compression as well as a Class 1 compression to wear at nighttime. My nighttime compression is a much softer material which fits much looser. Also, the thigh section of the compression does not have a silicone band at the top. I am interested to see how well swelling decrease copes under the pressure of going back to university and dancing again after not dancing for a month. Future assessment will determine whether the treatment will be performed again and if the use of a nighttime compression could be extended.
