What is pressotherapy?
Pressotherapy, also known as lymphatic drainage, is a non-invasive treatment that
involves the application of air pressure - alternating between compression and
decompression - on parts of the body. This can help to stimulate the lymphatic
system, which helps to clear toxins from the body and stimulate blood circulation.
Pressure is applied with a specialised pressotherapy device. Pressotherapy
has both cosmetic and medical uses.
Why is pressotherapy done?
Pressotherapy provides an alternative to manual lymphatic drainage, done
with physical massage. The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system
and necessary for our immune response. It is made up of a network of lymphatic
vessels which carries lymph fluid. Lymph fluid is made up of white blood cells, fats
and bacteria that build up throughout the body from digestion, for example. The
lymphatic system relies on our muscles and movements to drain this fluid. If someone
has poor circulation or oedema, for example, pressotherapy can help to drain this fluid.
Pressotherapy can treat various problems, including:
Lymphatic problems
Poor circulation
Fluid retention
Oedema (swollen legs)
Cellulite
Stretch marks
To prevent varicose veins
Before and after liposuction
What does pressotherapy consist of?
A machine controls the pressure of the pressotherapy device,
which is worn around different limbs. The machine will send a
sequence of different air pressures to the device, switching
between pressing on a limb and then deflating. A pressotherapy
session lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. For the best result,
usually a series of sessions are recommended, depending on
your specific needs.
Preparation for pressotherapy
No specific preparation is required before having pressotherapy.
