Squid Compression & Cold Therapy in Stuart, FL
Reduce Swelling, Relieve Pain, and Recover Faster
At Oceanside Physical Therapy in Stuart, Florida, we use Squid™ Compression & Cold Therapy to help patients heal faster, decrease inflammation, and return to activity with less pain. This advanced recovery system combines intermittent compression and controlled cold therapy to enhance healing after injury, surgery, or intense exercise.
If you’re recovering from a procedure, managing swelling, or looking to speed muscle recovery after training, Squid Therapy offers a safe, effective, and comfortable solution.
What Is Squid Compression & Cold Therapy?
The Squid system delivers cold therapy and sequential compression through specialized sleeves that fit the knee, shoulder, ankle, or other areas. The gentle rhythmic compression helps move fluid away from injured tissue, while the cold component reduces swelling and inflammation.
Each session is fully customizable — your therapist at Oceanside PT will adjust the temperature and compression levels for your comfort and condition.
Together, cold and compression promote faster healing, improved range of motion, and less soreness after injury or surgery.
