Pressotherapy in sports
This type of procedure promotes muscle recovery and reduces post-training or post-competition fatigue.
How to use it
GLOBUS pressure therapy devices are easy to use. Simply put on the dedicated accessories according to the body area to be treated and connect them to the device.
If required, the circumference of the sleeves can be increased by connecting the extenders, which can be purchased as an optional accessory.
With GLOBUS pressure-therapy products you will be able to treat two (upper or lower) limbs and the abdomen at the same time, thanks to the double connectors, to increase the effectiveness of the treatment and reduce the application time.
Types of compression
The sleeve chambers inflate individually in the disto-proximal direction. When the next chamber begins to inflate, the previous one begins to deflate shortly afterwards, and so on for all chambers. This type of compression is called peristaltic compression and is particularly suitable to cool down limbs, either after training or at the end of a working day, and for reducing swelling induced by muscle microinjuries and water retention.
The sleeve chambers inflate two at a time in a disto-proximal direction. When the next chamber begins to inflate, the previous one begins to deflate shortly afterwards, always keeping two of them inflated. This type of treatment, which is always peristaltic, is especially indicated for the prevention of venous ulcers, chronic venous insufficiency and other disorders of the circulatory system.
The sleeve chambers inflate individually in the disto-proximal direction, remaining inflated as they pass to the next chamber. This type of compression is called sequential and is used as a true therapy, as in the case of lymphoedema, as it allows the reabsorption and outflow within the lymphatic and venular pathways of the liquid component of the oedema.
