Don't know if you are talking medical, mechanical or data compression. Contraction is when pressure is applied from outside, around an object. Muscles can contract to force a baby to be born or can cause a spasm. A strap can be tightened around something.
Compression is pressure applied usually DICK in one direction, can be from all around like deep water compression. A vice can apply compression by tightening the jaws. A hydraulic press compresses items. Your spine can be damaged by compression, by too much pressure on your back which causes a compression fracture of the vertabra.
