Pressotherapy is a treatment that involves a modulated compression on the upper and lower limbs and abdomen, indicated in the case of oedema, water retention, circulatory problems and cellulite, providing an immediate feeling of well-being. This action exerts itself on the lymphatic and venous circulation, making it more functional and consequently improving circulation, metabolism and aesthetic imperfections. The pressure is not exerted simultaneously across the whole surface covered by the segments or leggings, but according to a centripetal sequence which is the same as that followed by the venous blood and the lymph circulation.

Pressotherapy: the benefits on blood circulation

Through the action of the pressure, the circulation gets reactivated naturally.
Fluid accumulation, increased blood stagnation due to poor circulation and problematic lymphatic function slow down fat disposal. The accumulation of fat and water increases tissue inflammation and water retention. Furthermore, water-soluble toxins accumulate in the fluid between the adipose cells, negatively affecting tissue health, further increasing swelling and water retention. Until our metabolism is completely blocked.
