What Is Compression Therapy?
Benefits + Target Areas
Benefits for body, mind, and recovery.
Improved Circulation
Enhances blood flow, preventing pooling and supporting vascular health.
Reduced Swelling
Decreases fluid retention, relieving swelling in limbs after activity or travel.
Travel and Altitude Recovery
Counteracts the swelling, stiffness, and circulation effects of long flights, road trips, and Colorado's 6,000+ feet.
Faster Recovery
Speeds muscle recovery by flushing lactic acid post-exercise.
Pairs with Contrast Therapy
Stack a compression session after sauna and cold plunge — circulation on top of circulation. A popular recovery combination.
Low-Effort Recovery
Put on the boots, sit back, 20-30 minutes. Recovery that doesn't require effort — ideal for rest days or after a hard session.
Enhanced Athletic Performance
Improves endurance and reduces post-workout soreness.
Better Sleep
Post-session relaxation and reduced leg heaviness help you wind down, especially after evening training.
Our environment, designed for longevity
Our Equipment
We built a toolkit, not a showroom. Every modality here was selected because the research backs it, then sourced from the providers who do it best. The same hard-shell hyperbaric technology used in clinical settings. The same anti-gravity treadmill trusted by professional athletes. That standard runs through everything we do.
Our Space
We designed Sisu around the belief that environment shapes outcomes. Intuitive flow between ten modalities, private changing areas, and a team present enough to guide you and experienced enough to get out of your way. This is what a serious longevity space feels like.
Our Amenities
Relaxation lounge, tea service, and hydration stations. We provide bench mats for every sauna session. Bring your own towel and robe, or pick up the real thing — we carry authentic Finnish sauna textiles in-studio. Private locker rooms and showers.

Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
How often should I use compression therapy?
Optimal frequency depends on your goals:
- Athletic recovery: 2-4 times per week during heavy training periods
- General wellness: 1-2 times per week for ongoing maintenance
- Travel recovery: Before and after long trips
- Sedentary workers: 1-3 times per week to counteract prolonged sitting
Can I use it too frequently?
Compression therapy is generally well-tolerated with regular use. However, like any modality, individual responses vary. Listen to your body and adjust frequency based on how you feel.
How long does a session last?
Sessions run 20-30 minutes. Most members pair compression with another modality — post-sauna, post-float, or post-training.
