Ambulatory compression therapy

Ambulant compression therapy is also called bandaging. Here, the bandages are applied under tension, whereby pressure is exerted on the affected body part. As a result, the size decreases, wound healing is stimulated and joints are fixed or supported.

In Ambulatory Compression Therapy, extra attention is paid to optimising the muscle pump, which further promotes the functioning of the bandages.
