Compression isn't suitable for everyone.

Please do not use the compression boots if you have a blood clot or DVT, acute infection affecting your legs, severe peripheral vascular disease, or a significant skin condition affecting the areas being compressed, or if you've been advised by a health professional to avoid compression.

If you're unsure whether compression is appropriate for you, speak with your GP or treating health professional before booking.

Your appointment is booked for 30 minutes, but you can choose to use the boots for up to 30 minutes.

If you're new to compression, you may prefer to start with 10–15 minutes and gradually build up as tolerated.

Tip: Start low and build gradually. There is no need to start at the highest pressure or use the boots for the full 30 minutes.

VERVE has 11 intensity levels ranging from 50–150 mmHg:

• Low: 50–70 mmHg

• Mid: 80–110 mmHg

• High: 120–150 mmHg

There are also three massage modes: Sequence, Circulation and Combination.

The boots have five overlapping air chambers per leg, covering the foot, lower calf, upper calf and thigh.

Start with a lower intensity and build gradually as tolerated. Compression should feel firm but comfortable and should never be painful. Follow the instructions provided at the clinic and adjust the intensity or stop if you feel uncomfortable.

Compression is commonly used as one strategy to help manage venous pooling and orthostatic symptoms in people with POTS.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows the boots to fit comfortably around your legs. The boots can be worn over clothing.

Compression is one strategy commonly used to help manage venous pooling and orthostatic symptoms in people with POTS.

By applying sequential compression to the lower limbs, compression boots may:

• Help reduce blood pooling in the legs

• Support venous return back towards the heart

• Reduce feelings of heavy, tired or uncomfortable legs

• Provide temporary support after prolonged standing or activity

• Help some people feel more comfortable when managing orthostatic symptoms

Compression boots are a supportive strategy rather than a treatment for POTS itself. Everyone responds differently, and they are best considered alongside other individual strategies such as exercise, fluid and salt intake, compression garments and medical management where appropriate.
