Pressotherapy

 

Pressotheraphy is an exclusive detoxifying treatment, which through effective lymphatic drainage, helps to promote the body's natural toxin clearing functions. The revitalization and oxygenation of the tissue helps to slim and redefine the legs, stomach and arms while enhancing skin tone.

 

How does Pressotherapy work?

Pressotherapy treatment is applied by means of trousers, sleeves or a girdle. A computer controlled compression system inflates individual sections of a special multi-chambered garment, forcing toxins and fatty deposits into the circulatory system. This enhances extra-cellular fluid clearance, increasing venous flow (blood flow to the heart). The body through the lymphatic system then naturally flushes the toxins.

 

Pressotherapy is used to:

• Duplicate the action on the body of massage.
• Repress the blood through slow and progressive pressure.
• Lessen telangiectasis (capillary distension / swelling / expansion).
• Lymphatic drainage (alleviate oedema or swelling of the leg).
• Provide immediate leg comfort and lightness.
• Assist in kidney function (poor filtration and hydro saline imbalance, can lead to possible accumulation of large quantities of fluid in the tissues.
• Assist in healthy heart function (problems can lead to tapered oedemas because of an inadequate pumping effect).
• Assist in premenstrual oedema (oedema during menstrual periods are linked to the fluid-retaining effects of oestrogen and progestin. Pressure therapy during the periods quickly solves the problem.)
• Improve poor skin tone and reduce bags under the eyes.
• Improve loss of muscle tone in immobilized patients, the disabled and the 0
