leg compression machine for edema

Edema is when extra  fluid or  a  buildup of excess  body fluid occurs within  the body’s tissues. This can  cause  parts of your body, such as  your feet or legs,  to  swell up and  feel  weighty.  For some, this is (very) uncomfortable and moving can even feel difficult. A leg compression machine can be a very useful tool for those  suffering edema.  This machine applies a gentle pressure on the legs that may lead to reduction  of swelling. These machines  are provided by KONBEST to help people breathe  better. They’re not a cure-all for edema-related issues, but they can go  a long way in providing comfort and better health to many who  use them. For more information about how these machines work, you can check out our Contrast Therapy Application.

What Are the Benefits of Using a Leg Compression Machine for Edema?

A leg compression machine is likely to be of  great benefit for people  with edema. When you put on  this machine, it squishes your legs. Not only does this pressure help force fluid from the swollen areas, it also improves blood flow. “Blood is supposed to flow smoothly  when you’re  walking, and when people have good  cardiovascular health they walk and they feel lighter,” Dr. Shah said. “People whose blood flow is not as efficient will often feel their legs are  heavy.” Many people report that their legs feel lighter, more comfortable after having used  a leg compression machine. Another  plus is that such machines can aid in rehabilitation after  surgery or certain injuries. It’s vital to keep your legs moving to heal  faster and allow blood to continue flowing. For these reasons, many doctors advise their patients to use leg compression machines. They also can be used at home in a seated  or supine position making it convenient to  incorporate into your day. Some have various settings, so you can decide  how firm  or soft you want the pressure. And that  can help make the experience more pleasurable. If  you are prone  to edema, using these machines regularly can lead to reduced likelihood of future swelling. In other words, a  leg compression machine is not just machinery in your athletic equipment list;  it functions as a good friend to your legs.
