Boost Recovery, Reduce Swelling, and Improve Circulation at ProActive Rehab
At ProActive Rehab, we specialise in sports massage and injury rehab in Norwich, helping athletes, gym-goers, and those dealing with swelling, fatigue, or recovery issues. One of the most effective tools we use alongside manual therapy is leg compression therapy, a powerful recovery technique designed to improve circulation, reduce soreness, and accelerate healing in the lower limbs.
Whether you’re recovering from intense training, managing chronic swelling, or bouncing back from an injury, leg compression therapy can support your recovery and performance in ways traditional massage alone can’t.
💡 What Is Leg Compression Therapy?
Leg compression therapy uses dynamic air-filled sleeves (such as Normatec boots) that rhythmically inflate and deflate around the legs. This creates a pulsing, massage-like effect that encourages blood flow and lymphatic drainage through the limbs.
Unlike static compression (like compression socks), this active therapy mimics the muscle pump action of walking or movement, without putting stress on your joints or muscles.
✅ Benefits of Leg Compression Therapy
✔ Reduces muscle soreness and fatigue after training
✔ Flushes out metabolic waste and lactic acid
✔ Improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles
✔ Decreases swelling and inflammation in the lower limbs
✔ Speeds up recovery after sports, injury, or surgery
✔ Helps treat tight calves, quads, hamstrings, and feet
Whether you’ve just finished a heavy gym session or you’re on your feet all day, leg compression therapy in Norwich can help restore energy and reduce soreness fast.
🔍 Who Is It For?
At ProActive Rehab, our leg compression therapy is suitable for:
🏃♂️ Athletes and gym-goers – for rapid recovery and performance boost
🧍 Manual workers or office professionals – to reduce daily swelling and fatigue
💥 Injury rehab clients – as part of a full recovery plan
🦵 Those with poor circulation or lymphatic drainage issues
♿ Clients with limited mobility or chronic pain – as a low-impact recovery tool
If you’re looking for massage in Norwich but can’t tolerate deep pressure work, leg compression therapy is an excellent alternative or complement.
🔧 How It Works
During your session at ProActive Rehab, you’ll relax in a seated or reclined position while the compression boots are applied from your feet up to your thighs. The sleeves then cycle through a pattern of inflation and deflation, applying pressure in graduated waves that mimic natural muscle movement.
A standard session lasts 20–30 minutes, and can be paired with other treatments like sports massage, cupping, or red light therapy depending on your recovery goals.
🧠 The Science Behind It
Leg compression therapy supports both the venous system (which returns deoxygenated blood to the heart) and the lymphatic system (which removes waste and toxins). This leads to:
💨 Faster removal of lactic acid and inflammation
🩸 Increased nutrient delivery to muscle tissues
🛠 Reduced DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)
💪 Improved muscle recovery and resilience
It’s a proven recovery strategy used by professional athletes, physiotherapists, and sports rehab clinics worldwide—and now available in Norwich at ProActive Rehab.

Posted on Google Lianne HunterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Alfie throughout my Ironman training, and I honestly couldn’t have got through it without him. He’s helped me manage all the inevitable niggles and kept me training consistently, always taking the time to understand what was going on and finding the right treatment. Alfie is also super friendly and easy to chat to, which makes every appointment a genuinely nice experience—even when the treatment itself is a bit uncomfortable! He always puts you at ease and explains everything clearly. I’d highly recommend Alfie to anyone, whether you’re training for an endurance event or just looking for a knowledgeable, approachable physio.Posted on Google aaeron mossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked in with Alfie with a rotator cuff issue. Couldn't be more pleased with the outcome after a couple of months of rehab. His professionalism and knowledge is of the highest standard and I couldn't recommend him enough. Any future issues I will always re book with himPosted on Google A ZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my first physiotherapy appointment with Libby, and it was a very positive experience. I had been having back muscle pain after my hamstring injury. Libby carefully assessed my back, explained the possible cause of the pain, and gave me some exercises to help improve it. She was kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. I really appreciated her help and would highly recommend her.Posted on Google Jasmine WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came in to see Alfie for physiotherapy due to a hip injury. He is super knowledgeable, talked me through everything - 4 weeks post-treatment, and it is so much better! Highly recommended.Posted on Google Hayley KenzieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a discussion with a friend about a back injury/back pain I had been struggling with, I was recommended to book with Libby for a pain assessment at body reset. Firstly we had a discussion about the history surrounding my back pain and recent events that have exacerbated it. Libby was really lovely and friendly which put me at ease as I haven’t done anything like this previously. Today I have had my first physio session with Libby and she carried out a number of assessments which have also identified areas of weakness which may also be contributing to my back pain. Libby is very knowledgeable and it’s really quite interesting to hear about the contributing factors I wasn’t aware of. I have got myself some homework in terms of strengthening and stretching exercises to do at home and we finished my session with some soft tissue work to aid the acute niggles and discomfort which I really did appreciate! Thank you again to Libby for your expertise today, and I’m looking forward to finally making progress with my back issue I have been ignoring for far too long!!Posted on Google Maddy TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a visit with Libby today and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She explained everything really clearly and demonstrated all the exercises she asked me to do so I wouldn’t get confused. She answered all my questions in detail and put my mind at ease when I asked about my injury. I will definitely be back!Posted on Google LiamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BodyReset has been the best clinic I've gone to and I have been to many! I started with Alfie 3-4 months ago, first with terrible knees, it was painful to walk and to train. I had many challenges and Alfie helped me with a personalised plan after carrying out some tests, just 6 weeks down the line progress and improvements occurred and Alfie would tweak and change the plan to keep the recovery going. After the knees, I also had my shoulders to fix! I couldnt even put on a paper weight face mask on at work! Again through some tests and a personalized plan, I have noticed a massive improvement. I can now train at the gym, do kickboxing without these injuries in the way and I have had these injuries all my life. I highly recommend Alfie and I highly recommend BodyReset!Posted on Google Emily SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would 100% recommend anyone looking for a sports massage or physio to visit Alfie at Body Reset. I’d never been for one before but was experiencing a lot of pain/tension in my shoulders and neck, after many word of mouth recommendations for Alfie, I decided to pay a visit. Every session I’ve been made to feel super comfortable, honest feedback and insight, not jargon or theories, just black and white. And every time the pain is feeling much more manageable and freer. Thank you!!Posted on Google Ajay TavaresTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a 60 minute massage with libby at body reset Norwich and it was a top experience, had a lovely chat with libby and she made me comfortable from the start I walked in.Posted on Google Lewis DaviesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve recently had Physio and Sports Massage with Alfie and it was a very positive experience. Alfie is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and takes a genuine interest in my lifestyle, training and recovery. I was suffering with calf issues and ankle pain prior to my first session and the rehab programme Alfie put together has helped tremendously! Would highly recommend!
