Dr Jen Sanderson joins Shelley and Tiana to explain what compression pumps are, how they work, and who can benefit. The conversation focuses on using pumps for lipoedema, lymphedema, post-operative recovery, and sports recovery, with practical guidance on pressure settings, safety, and when to seek professional support. In this episode, Jen also shares why hydration, breathing, and the right sleeve coverage matter just as much as the pump itself. This discussion is especially useful for anyone deciding whether a pump is worth it, how often to use it, and how to make sure it fits their symptoms and treatment plan.
