1. A pressure therapy device, comprising:
a pressure chamber having a first end and a second end, the first end comprising an upper edge defining an opening;
an inflatable padding positioned in the opening and extending from an interior region of the pressure chamber through the opening, a proximal portion of the inflatable padding projecting beyond the upper edge of the pressure chamber in a proximal direction; and
a seal secured to the first end of the pressure chamber and arranged to enclose the inflatable padding and the interior region of the pressure chamber from ambient pressure when sealing against a limb of a user;
wherein the inflatable padding is configured to be inflatable to narrow the opening and to separate the limb from contact with the pressure chamber;
wherein the inflatable padding defines a distal termination in the interior region of the pressure chamber and a proximal termination opposite the distal termination, a posterior portion of the distal termination of the inflatable padding defining a first plane and an anterior portion of the distal termination of the inflatable padding defining a second plane oblique to the first plane.
