Compression therapy feels so good that once you try it, you'll want to come back often. So **how often should you use it?**

Here's how to build a routine with compression therapy at iCRYO St. Johns (https://icryo-stjohns-fl.com/services/compression-therapy).

New to compression? Start with What Is Compression Therapy? (https://icryo-stjohns-fl.com/blog/what-is-compression-therapy)

## Sample Routines

_Examples only. Adjust based on how you feel._

| **Goal** | **Common routine** |
| --- | --- |
| General wellness | Once a week |
| Training block | A few times a week |
| Race, game or event | Before and after |
| Travel | After long flights or drives |
| On your feet all day | After long shifts |

## Best Times to Use Compression

### After workouts

Help your legs feel fresher before your next session.

### After big days outside

A beach day, a long run or a long ride? Compression is a great way to unwind.

### After travel

Long flights in and out of JAX can leave your legs stiff and heavy.

### After long shifts

Nurses, teachers, retail workers and anyone who stands all day love compression.

### Before bed

The relaxation can make it easier to wind down.

## How Long Should a Session Be?

Many sessions run about 20–30 minutes. Our team can adjust pressure and length for comfort.

## Tips for Better Results

- **Hydrate.** The Florida heat makes this essential.
- **Elevate your legs** when resting at home
- **Keep moving**, since walking helps your natural muscle pump
- **Pair it smartly** with cryotherapy (https://icryo-stjohns-fl.com/services/cryotherapy) or infrared sauna (https://icryo-stjohns-fl.com/services/infrared-sauna)

## Who Should Check First?

Talk with our team or your doctor if you have a history of blood clots, heart conditions, open wounds or infections on your legs, or are pregnant.
