When to call
Serious side effects are uncommon when clients are properly screened. The most important thing is that compression is not used where there could be a blood clot, a heart condition or a problem with kidney function, because moving fluid can put extra strain on the body. This is why we take a full medical history before your first session and may ask you to check with your GP first. If you feel unwell, breathless or notice pain or swelling in one leg, stop and seek medical advice.
The clinic number is 07958 129660. If you are worried, call or message rather than wait. If you cannot reach us and it is urgent, call NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency.
