Answers to the most frequently asked questions
What should I wear during my compression therapy session?
For your compression therapy session at Elysian Institute, we recommend wearing clean, comfortable, and loose-fitting clothing like athletic shorts, leggings, or lightweight sweatpants. You’ll keep your clothes on during the session, but bulky items like jeans or thick pants may interfere with the compression sleeves. Avoid wearing lotions or oils on your skin beforehand, as they can transfer to the equipment. If you’re unsure, our staff is happy to help you choose the best attire when you arrive.
Are the Compression Boots cleaned between guests?
Yes, absolutely. At Elysian Institute, all compression therapy equipment, including the boots, is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between each guest. We follow strict hygiene protocols using medical-grade disinfectants to ensure your session is safe, clean, and comfortable every time. Cleanliness is a top priority in every service we offer.
When is the best time to do compression therapy?
Compression therapy can be beneficial at different times depending on your goals. At Elysian Institute, we recommend:
- After a workout or physical activity – to help reduce muscle soreness, flush out lactic acid, and speed up recovery.
- On rest or recovery days – to support circulation and reduce inflammation even when you’re not exercising.
- At the end of the day – if you’ve been on your feet a lot or feel like your legs are heavy.
Our team can help you personalize the timing based on your wellness goals and activity level.
What are the benefits of using compression therapy?
Compression therapy offers a wide range of benefits for recovery, circulation, and overall wellness. At Elysian Institute, clients often use it to help with:
- Improved circulation – promotes healthy blood flow and lymphatic drainage
- Reduced muscle soreness and fatigue – speeds up recovery after workouts or physical activity
- Decreased swelling and inflammation – especially helpful after standing or sitting for long periods
- Enhanced flexibility and mobility – by loosening up tight muscles and tissues
- Relaxation and stress relief – the gentle pulsing feels soothing and restorative
This is not a complete list of benefits. Your individual experience may vary based on your health goals and how consistently you use the therapy. Our team can help you decide how to best include compression therapy in your wellness routine.
What are the recommended pressure levels and treatment times?
At Elysian Institute, compression therapy sessions are tailored to your comfort and wellness goals. General guidelines are:
- Pressure Levels: Most clients use a medium to high pressure setting (Level 4–7 out of 10). We’ll help you find the right level that feels effective but still comfortable—never painful or overly tight. If you’re new or sensitive, we may start lower and gradually increase.
- Treatment Times: Sessions typically last 20 to 30 minutes, but can range up to 45 minutes based on your needs and tolerance.
- Shorter sessions (10–20 minutes) may be used for quick recovery or on first-time visits.
- Longer sessions (30–45 minutes) are ideal for deeper muscle recovery or if you’re experiencing more fatigue or swelling.
Our staff will guide you through the settings and ensure you’re comfortable throughout your session.
