1. A compression garment system comprising:
a manifold operably couplable to at least one fluid cell of a compression garment;
a pump operably coupled to the manifold to deliver fluid to the at least one fluid cell; and
a controller comprising one or more processors and operably coupled to the pump, the controller configured to:
provide a target pressure for each of the at least one fluid cell;
provide an adjustable manifold pressure for each of the at least one fluid cell;
measure a running pressure in the manifold when the pump is delivering fluid to the at least one fluid cell;
deliver fluid using the pump to the at least one fluid cell until the running pressure in the manifold is equal to the adjustable manifold pressure;
measure a stopped pressure in the manifold after the pump has stopped delivering fluid to the at least one fluid cell;
increase the adjustable manifold pressure and continue to deliver fluid using the pump to the at least one fluid cell until the running pressure in the manifold is equal to the increased adjustable manifold pressure in response to the stopped pressure in the manifold being less than the target pressure; and
decrease the adjustable manifold pressure in response to the stopped pressure in the manifold being greater than the target pressure.
