Compression Therapy

Medical-grade compression fittings by certified specialists — covered by AADL, NIHB, WCB, and most insurance plans.

What We Offer

What is Compression Therapy?

Compression therapy uses specially designed garments to apply gentle, graduated pressure to the limbs. This improves blood circulation, reduces swelling, and helps manage conditions like lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency, and post-surgical recovery.

At Fit Essentials, every compression garment is fitted by a certified specialist to ensure it works correctly and comfortably for your specific condition and lifestyle.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a doctor's prescription?

For insurance-covered compression (AADL, NIHB, etc.) a physician prescription is required. For over-the-counter compression (15–20 mmHg), no prescription is needed. We can help you understand your coverage.

How long does a fitting take?

A typical compression fitting takes 20–40 minutes. We measure carefully, try garments on, and make sure you're comfortable putting them on and taking them off before you leave.

How long do compression garments last?

With proper care, compression stockings last 4–6 months with daily wear. Most insurance programs cover 2–4 pairs per year.

Can I wash my compression garments?

Yes — hand wash in cool water with mild soap and lay flat to dry. Avoid machine washing, dryers, and bleach as they degrade the elastic fibers.
