How pressotherapy works
Pressotherapy is based on the principle of pneumatic compression. It uses specially designed boots or sleeves that are wrapped around the areas of the body to be treated. These boots or sleeves are then connected to a pressotherapy machine which regulates air flow and pressure.
During the session, the machine inflates and deflates the compartments of the boots or sleeves sequentially. This compression action creates a gentle, rhythmic "pumping" effect along the targeted limbs or body areas. This process stimulates blood and lymph circulation, promoting fluid mobilization and toxin drainage.
Pressotherapy is designed to be pain-free and comfortable. The pressure exerted is generally set according to the patient's individual needs, and the session can be adapted in terms of duration and intensity.
