COMPRESSION BOOTS MELBOURNE
Heavy Legs, Swelling and Soreness That Lingers
Your legs feel heavy and tired by the end of every day. The swelling, the soreness, the sluggish feeling that will not shift no matter how much you rest. If you have been searching for compression boots in Melbourne, you already know your body needs more than stretching and sleep to recover properly and feel light on your feet again.

How Compression Therapy Actually Works
You relax in a comfortable reclined position while full body compression sleeves are fitted around your legs, hips and lower back. The system uses rhythmic, sequential compression across 24 pressure points to mimic the body’s natural circulatory and lymphatic flow, flushing metabolic waste and reducing inflammation. Sessions at our Melbourne centre run for around 30 minutes, and the experience feels like a deep, rhythmic massage that leaves your body feeling noticeably lighter. This is far superior to traditional compression boots, covering 80% of your body in one seamless session.

Absolutely Blissful Felt Recharged Refreshed Afterwards
Absolutely blissful experience. I felt recharged and refreshed afterwards. But most importantly the staff were friendly and professional and the centre was clean and serene. I was a sceptic initially but Gravity has changed all that after one float. I have floated three times and urge anyone to come to Gravity float and immerse yourself in the whole experience more than once to really enjoy its benefits. I was lucky enough to meet the owners on my second float and I must say that I have never met a more dedicated and passionate business couple in my life. They have left their personal touch on this place. Sorry, I am off to Gravity right now for a float …..

Member Two Years Truly Say Place
I have been a member of Gravity Float for more than two years and can truly say that this place is a haven away from the hustles and bustles of everyday life. The staff are always so lovely, kind, patient and accommodating that I always feel welcomed here. The facilities are clean and the magnesium float pods are so rejuvenating. I can happily say that I will continue to be a member here and treat this as a sanctuary to enjoy some peace, solicitude and relaxation.

First Gift Card Partner Christmas Quite
Just had my first float experience thanks to a gift card from my partner for Christmas. I was quite anxious prior because I have experienced a stroke, I’m not by any means lithe and I’m a big girl. The staff who looked after me were lovely and helpful. The float itself was amazing. I struggle with mobility and couldn’t figure how I might bring the lid down while trying to get into the pod so I had to leave it open. It didn’t matter…I managed to let go and completely relax and focus on my breathing. Getting out was a challenge because I had to kneel to counter the forces of the float. Kneeling is extremely painful for me due to arthritis. In spite of the challenges, I’d really recommend this to anyone who lives with pain and anxiety. I came out feeling relaxed and could feel how it reduced the pain I experience immediately. I’m booked in again for next week! Bring it on.

Intro Pass Delivered Real Progress
Love this floatation centre for so many reasons. The staff are amazing, knowledgeable and happy to help. The manager is actually passionate about the healing power that is offered. The waiting area is super chill always a yummy tea and water on offer. The infrared sauna is equip with Bluetooth connection so I connect up a meditation mix through my mobile phone lay back and relax. A robe is provided for ease of then moving the the flotation room. The float rooms are large, shower equipped, music plays you have the option of leaving on or turning off pod lights and of course open or closing the pod lid. Afterwards you have plenty of time to shower, change and you can move to the ‘hair drying station’. This area has straighteners curlers and hair dryers. I bought an intro pass for infrared and float – which is CRAZY cheap to buy. Next on my list is trying the massage services. Highly highly recommend giving Gravity a shot the location is also super convenient afterward go for brunch, lunch or dinner at one of the amazing high st locations!

First Infrared Sauna Read Benefits Researched
This was my first experience with the infrared sauna. I had read the benefits and had researched. Everything I have read was positive. Easy to Navigate and your own private room. I had read what to do as a lead up, eat light and drink a glass of water before your session. And I have to say I loved it. Got up to 60 degrees, the highest recommended and it didn’t take long to feel the tension and muscle soreness leave the body. I am feeling great and very Zen. Cannot wait for next session. This is now the next day and I still feel great. I highly recommend the infrared sauna to anyone who has muscle soreness and suffers from ongoing injury also. I have started up running again and I also go to the gym and do resistance training and cardio and my hip flexor is a constant source of pain. I have felt the difference after only one session. Next will be the float pod to try.

Tried First Time Don Think Place
Tried floating for the first time and while I don’t think floating is for me, this place deserves a 5 star for sure. My technician explained the process and what to expect when floating thoroughly. Everything was clean and dry it was immaculate, not even a single hair or wet spot to be found on the floor. Shampoo, body wash, conditioner, towels, facial wipes, ear plugs, hair dryers etc all provided you literally just need to rock up and enjoy the relaxing experience. For those who do enjoy floating this is the place to come!

Ndis Access Makes Floats More Affordable
Been to gravity float several times now and every experience has been excellent. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and professional. The float pods and rooms are well taken care of and clean. They’re also now NDIS providers which makes it a lot more affordable for me and others on the NDIS to go more regularly. (The casual prices are still good if your not on the NDIS). I would highly recommend going to gravity float and I look forward to more appointments in the future.

Calm Relief for Anxiety and OCD
Floatation therapy has been a game changer for helping cope with anxiety and OCD. It is an activity that allows my brain to rest and give me calm and peace. The one hour floats feels like an uninterrupted 8 hours sleep. Let me not forget to also thank all of the staff as they have been accommodating and understanding, not to mention extremely welcoming, when I finally felt comfortable to discuss my reasons for seeking out their facility and services. Thank you to everyone I have interacted with at Gravity.

I've Other Spaces Try Sell Packages
I’ve been to other float spaces that try to sell you packages whilst you’re super zonked out afterwards. It’s not nice being constantly barraged as a consumer online let alone offline whilst vulnerable. This space did not do that. The add ons were gently mentioned, which I appreciated, as well as the signage in the rooms explaining the sequential procedure of the experiences. Float tank, Infrared – but I forgot to ask if you need to expose all of your skin to get the full benefits, or if laying/sitting in one spot is good enough. All in all, I enjoyed the space and would recommend. The inclusive take home ear plugs was a nice surprise and maybe worth an advertised mention too. Thank you

FAQs About Compression Therapy
Compression therapy is a deeply relaxing treatment that uses controlled air pressure to gently inflate and deflate chambers around the legs, hips, and lower back. This rhythmic pulsing motion boosts circulation, supports lymphatic drainage, and helps flush out built-up metabolic waste. It’s an ideal therapy for recovery, detox, reducing swelling, and enhancing overall wellbeing.
Our advanced system goes beyond standard leg-only compression boots with a full-body treatment that also targets the hips and lower back, while incorporating far infrared therapy for a deeper, more holistic recovery. With 24 cyclic pressure points, three times more than most devices, the suit uses wave-like inflation and deflation cycles to promote circulation, lymphatic drainage, and natural detox. It continuously adapts to your body’s inflammation and resistance for a truly personalised, effective treatment. Designed for those seeking more than leg recovery, this is full-body restoration.
Compression therapy offers a powerful way to support your body’s natural recovery and wellbeing. It can help to: Enhance recovery, whether from exercise, travel, or extended periods of sitting or standing. Improve circulation & reduce inflammation, boosting blood flow to help your body repair and heal. Promote deep relaxation, leaving you with a refreshing sense of lightness and wellbeing. Reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, easing tension after workouts or long days on your feet. Support lymphatic drainage, actively encouraging the removal of toxins and excess fluid.
Compression therapy can be safely enjoyed by a wide range of people, especially: Athletes & active individuals, to speed up recovery, reduce soreness, and boost performance. Busy professionals, who spend long hours sitting or standing and want to ease heaviness or swelling. Travellers, to reduce fluid build-up and stiffness after long flights or car trips. Wellness seekers, looking for a relaxing, restorative treatment that supports circulation and detoxification. Note: Compression therapy may not be suitable for everyone (e.g., those with certain cardiovascular conditions or clotting disorders). Always check with your health professional if you’re unsure.

If you’re unsure whether compression therapy is right for you, please consult your healthcare professional before booking a session.
A typical session lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. You’ll lie back, relax, and let the rhythmic compression do the work.
Not at all. The pressure is fully adjustable to your comfort level and feels more like a firm, soothing massage. Most clients describe it as deeply relaxing, and many even drift off to sleep during their session.
No downtime is needed. You can return to your day feeling refreshed and energised.
To get the most out of your session, we recommend: Stay hydrated, drink plenty of water to support circulation and help your body flush out toxins. Gentle movement, light walking or stretching can enhance the benefits and keep your blood flowing. Listen to your body, you may feel light, energised, or deeply relaxed. Take it easy if needed. Pair with recovery rituals, many clients enjoy following compression with a float, sauna, or simply resting at home. The effects of compression therapy continue even after your session, so give your body time to enjoy the benefits.
Absolutely! Compression therapy pairs beautifully with float therapy, infrared sauna, PEMF, Contour Light or massage. Combining these treatments can create a powerful, customised wellness and recovery experience, leaving you feeling lighter, restored, and deeply rejuvenated.
