Pressotherapy
The Ultimate Solution for Lymphatic Drainage and Body Detoxification
Pressotherapy is a revolutionary procedure designed to enhance lymphatic drainage, which can potentially reduce the appearance of fluid retention all over your body, making it appear slimmer. This innovative treatment is also known to alleviate aches and pains while promoting detoxification of the body.
Pressotherapy, also known as compression therapy, uses inflatable garments to apply gentle pressure to various parts of the body, stimulating circulation, lymphatic drainage, and muscle recovery.
It is a non-invasive treatment that involves the use of specialised garments fitted with inflatable chambers. These chambers are sequentially and rhythmically inflated and deflated to apply gentle, consistent pressure to the limbs, abdomen, or other targeted areas of the body. This rhythmic compression aids in improving blood and lymphatic circulation, reducing fluid retention, and promoting overall well-being.
Conditions Treated & Benefits
Pressotherapy offers a myriad of health and aesthetic benefits, making it a versatile solution for various conditions:
Post-Surgery Swelling and Bloating
After surgery, many patients experience swelling and bloating due to fluid retention and disrupted lymphatic flow. Pressotherapy can effectively reduce these symptoms, speeding up recovery and improving comfort. One session of pressotherapy is equivalent to 3-4 manual lymphatic drainage massages, making it an efficient and effective choice for post-surgical care.
Lymphedema
Lymphedema, characterized by swelling due to lymphatic fluid build-up, can be effectively managed with pressotherapy. The treatment encourages lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling and discomfort.
Fibromyalgia
Individuals suffering from fibromyalgia often endure chronic pain and stiffness. Pressotherapy’s gentle massage can alleviate these symptoms, promoting relaxation and improved mobility.
Cellulite Reduction
By enhancing circulation and lymphatic drainage, pressotherapy can reduce the appearance of cellulite, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.
Enhancing Cryolipolysis and Cavitation Results
Pressotherapy can be used to enhance and speed up the results of cryolipolysis (fat freezing) and cavitation treatments. By promoting efficient lymphatic drainage and circulation, it helps to accelerate the removal of fat cells and toxins from the body, maximizing the effectiveness of these body contouring treatments.
Additional Benefits
* Detoxification: Aids in the removal of toxins and metabolic waste.
* Improved Circulation: Enhances blood flow, promoting overall cardiovascular health.
* Relaxation and Stress Relief: Provides a soothing, massage-like experience that helps reduce stress and improve mental well-being.
Gentle and Relaxing
Pressotherapy offers profound relaxation benefits, similar to a gentle, rhythmic massage. As the specialised suit inflates and deflates, it applies soothing pressure to your arms, legs, or abdomen, relieving muscle tension and promoting a sense of deep relaxation. This calming effect not only helps to reduce stress and anxiety but also leaves you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed, making pressotherapy an ideal treatment for those seeking both physical and mental relaxation.
Non-Invasive
Pressotherapy is a non surgical treatment. It can safely be used for lymphatic drainage following some surgical procedures.

Pressotherapy works by applying controlled air pressure to different parts of the body, stimulating the lymphatic system and promoting circulation. The treatment helps move lymph fluid, reducing swelling and improving detoxification.
Not at all. Pressotherapy is designed to be a relaxing experience. The pressure is carefully regulated to ensure comfort, making it feel like a gentle massage.
A typical pressotherapy session lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. The duration can be adjusted based on individual needs and treatment goals.
The number of sessions required varies depending on the condition being treated and the desired outcome. For optimal results, a series of treatments is often recommended. Our therapists will create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.
Pressotherapy is generally safe and well-tolerated. Some individuals may experience mild, temporary redness or tenderness in the treated areas, but these effects usually subside quickly.
While pressotherapy is suitable for most people, it may not be appropriate for individuals with certain medical conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, heart disease, or infections. A consultation with our experienced therapists will help determine if pressotherapy is right for you.
