Presso-Therapy
Benefits
- Improved Circulation and Lymphatic Drainage: Presso-therapy is highly effective at enhancing blood flow and lymph fluid movement, which aids in the efficient removal of metabolic waste products, toxins, and bacteria from the body.
- Reduced Swelling and Fluid Retention: The treatment helps alleviate edema (swelling) and water retention, particularly in the legs, ankles, and arms, which can be beneficial for those with conditions like lymphedema or venous insufficiency.
- Faster Muscle Recovery: Athletes often use presso-therapy to reduce muscle fatigue, pain, and cramping by flushing out lactic acid and increasing oxygen flow to tissues.
- Pain Relief: It can help reduce general aches, pains, and stiffness in the limbs, offering relief for individuals with conditions like fibromyalgia or rheumatism.
- Enhanced Immune System Function: By ensuring the lymphatic system is working optimally, presso-therapy can help strengthen the body's natural defenses against illness and infection.
- Post-Operative Recovery: It is commonly used after surgery, such as liposuction, to help minimize swelling and bruising, thereby accelerating the healing process.
What to Expect during sessions
- Preparation: You will lie down on a bed in your own comfortable, lightweight clothing like leggings and a t-shirt.
- Application: A multi-section garment will be fitted around the legs
- Treatment: The garment will be connected to a machine that sends air to the chambers, inflating them to apply gentle pressure. You will feel a rhythmic, squeezing sensation, which should not be painful.
- Duration: A session usually lasts between 30.
What to expect after the session
- Immediate effects: You may feel relaxed and experience a sense of well-being.
- Physical changes: Swelling or puffiness should be reduced, and your skin may feel softer and smoother. You might also feel lighter.
- Bodily functions: Some people report feeling the need to urinate more frequently shortly after the treatment, which is a result of fluid movement in the body.
- Long-term results: For best results, a series of sessions is typically recommended
