Lymphatic Drainage - Pressotherapy
Lymphatic Drainage - Pressotherapy
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that help to remove waste and toxins from the body. Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that helps to improve the flow of lymph fluid through the lymphatic system. This can be beneficial for a variety of conditions, including lymphedema, cellulite, and pain.
What is Pressotherapy?
Pressotherapy is a type of lymphatic drainage that uses air pressure to massage the body. A special suit is inflated with air, which creates a gentle pressure that helps to move lymph fluid through the lymphatic system. Pressotherapy is often used in conjunction with manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) to improve the effectiveness of the treatment.
How does Pressotherapy work?
The air pressure in the suit creates a wave-like motion that helps to massage the body. This massage helps to improve the flow of lymph fluid through the lymphatic system. The lymph fluid carries away waste and toxins from the body, which can help to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and boost the immune system.
