Pressotherapy: gradual compression to improve circulation

Pressotherapy is an effective and targeted technique for the treatment of all dysfunctions of the circulatory and lymphatic system that cause fluid retention in the tissues, pain, swelling, and blemishes. Edemas, lymphedemas, and cellulite are typically among the symptoms that can be alleviated and treated with this technique.

The machine consists of a series of cushions that wrap around the affected area; it is often the lower limbs, as they are more strained by gravity or sedentary activities, but the abdomen and upper limbs are also excellent areas to treat.

The machine's action, both gentle and decisive, allows for the exertion of pressure that stimulates venous return, lymphatic fluid recirculation, edema reabsorption, and toxin elimination. The technique involves a series of sessions, with a personalized plan structured based on the areas to be treated and the goal to be achieved. The effect of this technique is both therapeutic and aesthetic. In fact, it is possible to use pressotherapy for body remodeling, combining it with a proper nutritional regimen and healthy physical exercise to achieve satisfactory and lasting results.

Pressotherapy is non-invasive and is indicated in all the cases mentioned above as long as there are no particular contraindications. It is contraindicated in cases of compromised functionality of the circulatory system vessels (phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis), insufficiency (cardiac, renal, or hepatic), diabetes, and pregnancy.
