At Vis Clinic in Wichita, we believe in using advanced, non-invasive therapies to help your body recover, restore balance, and feel its best. This includes compression therapy, one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and get your lymphatic system moving again.
Compression therapy can significantly enhance your well-being. It can accelerate post-activity recovery, alleviate inflammation-related discomfort, and leave you feeling more sprightly and refreshed.
Our compression therapy sessions utilize the Normatec system, which is widely recognized as one of the premier compression brands. Normatec compression boots work by using dynamic air compression to massage your legs in a precise, controlled pattern. The boots inflate and deflate in a pulsing rhythm, starting at your feet and gradually moving upward toward your hips. This action mimics the body’s natural muscle pumping motion, which helps push fluids and waste products out of your tissues while bringing fresh, oxygen-rich blood in.
Normatec is trusted by professional athletes, wellness clinics, and medical providers worldwide because it combines comfort with powerful results. Sessions are customizable, so you can choose your pressure levels and duration to match your goals—whether that’s post-workout recovery, swelling reduction, or lymphatic stimulation. Many of our clients find the experience not only beneficial for their health but also incredibly relaxing.
Our patients experience six physical benefits from compression therapy:
Compression therapy enhances blood flow by helping veins return blood to the heart more efficiently. This increased circulation can reduce fatigue and leave your legs feeling refreshed.
Encouraging the faster removal of metabolic waste products like lactic acid, compression therapy can lessen post-exercise soreness and speed up recovery times.
For individuals with fluid retention or lymphedema, compression therapy helps reduce swelling by encouraging proper lymphatic drainage and moving excess fluid out of tissues.
Athletes use compression therapy to prepare muscles for peak performance and to recover more quickly after training or competition. The rhythmic pulsing can relax tight muscles and improve flexibility.
After certain injuries or surgeries, compression therapy can help prevent stiffness, improve circulation to healing tissues, and support faster recovery without putting stress on the injured area.
A healthy lymphatic system is vital to immune function. Compression therapy promotes lymphatic movement, helping the body eliminate toxins and transport immune cells more efficiently.
For most people, compression therapy is a safe, low-risk treatment with minimal to no side effects. It is non-invasive, drug-free, and comfortable, making it a great option for people wanting to improve circulation and recovery without placing undue strain on the body. However, individuals with certain medical conditions—such as severe peripheral artery disease, active blood clots, or uncontrolled congestive heart failure—should consult with their healthcare provider before beginning therapy.
At Vis Clinic, we take your safety seriously and monitor the entire process from setup to final removal of the compression boot. We want to make sure compression therapy is tailored to your needs.
Whether you’re a runner, cyclist, weightlifter, or weekend warrior, intense physical activity creates micro-tears in muscle fibers and produces lactic acid buildup. Compression therapy accelerates recovery by flushing out waste products, reducing soreness, and restoring optimal muscle function. This means you can train more often, with less downtime between workouts.

Improving circulation and reducing swelling after surgery or injury are essential for healing. Compression therapy can be an important part of your rehabilitation plan, helping to prevent fluid buildup, promote tissue repair, and maintain joint flexibility without overexertion.
People with mild circulation problems, varicose veins, or lymphatic system sluggishness can benefit from the enhanced blood and lymph flow provided by compression therapy. Compression therapy reduces fluid retention and improves nutrient delivery to tissues, supporting overall vascular health and comfort.
At Vis Clinic in Wichita, we see compression therapy as more than a standalone service. Our therapies are part of a larger integrative medicine approach that supports the body’s natural healing systems. Your circulatory and lymphatic systems are closely tied to immune health, detoxification, and energy levels. When these systems are sluggish, waste products can build up, inflammation can increase, and your immune defenses may weaken.
“We always want to restore the foundations of health,“ says Dr. Krier. “For example, we start with the gut, address cellular health, and move out from there. We’ve found that compression therapy is an excellent tool for getting the immune system back to proper function.”
Compression therapy helps reduce the burden on your body’s detoxification pathways and supports proper immune function by restoring healthy fluid movement. When paired with other integrative therapies—such as IV nutrient therapy, ozone therapy, and lifestyle-based wellness programs—the results can be even more profound. You’ll feel lighter, more energized, and better equipped to fight off illness and recover from stress.
Our goal is to help you maintain healthy balance so your body can function at its highest level. Whether you come to us for athletic recovery, wellness maintenance, or medical support, compression therapy is one of the many tools we use to help you reach your health goals.
If you’ve been feeling sluggish, dealing with swelling, or struggling to bounce back after physical activity, compression therapy could be exactly what you need. At Vis Clinic in Wichita, our Normatec compression boots provide a comfortable, effective, and restorative experience designed to get your blood and lymph moving again.
Whether you’re an athlete, a busy professional, a recovering patient, or someone who wants to feel their best, compression therapy can fit into your wellness plan. Paired with our other integrative services, it’s a powerful way to restore balance, reduce inflammation, and support long-term health.
