Pressotherapy

Pressotherapy is an advanced form of lymphatic drainage massage that uses specially designed garments that gently inflate to precise, pre-set pressures. A pressotherapy treatment is often described as having a team of massage therapists working on the body simultaneously to flush out excess fluid, toxins, and metabolic waste.

Far-Infrared Pressotherapy is an invigorating compression therapy system that is used in our Shape Zone London. It utilizes the proven principles of manual lymphatic drainage to aid detox, slimming, toning, and reducing cellulite for every body type!

The lymphatic system

The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system of the human body and is vital to the immune system. The lymphatic system consists of an extensive network of lymphatic vessels, which are very similar to the blood vessels, and carries a fluid called lymph.

Lymph is composed of white blood cells (essential for the immune system), high amounts of fats and debris of bacteria and cells. The lymphatic system collects the liquid and debris that accumulate between the cells and tissues. It also collects many lipids generated by digestion.

Unlike blood, the lymphatic system doesn’t have an organ that pumps the lymph, but depends on the muscles and bones that move nearby. When the lymphatic system is affected, the body is not able to drain this fluid, therefore, in such cases, pressotherapy therapy may be helpful to implement this essential body function.

How does pressotherapy work?

Pressotherapy devices come with a central control unit, which blows air into accessories that make a suit that covers the body of the patient. This suit has several parts corresponding to areas of the body, limbs and abdomen.

What are its effects?

  • Improves lymphatic drainage acting on the vessels and lymph nodes.
  • Stimulates the reabsorption of interstitial fluids (which accumulate between the tissues and cells).
  • Promotes the return circulation, lymphatic and venous.
  • Analgesic and relaxing effect.
  • General wellbeing, by reabsorbing the edemas (fluid buildup).

Therefore, pressotherapy is indicated for treating:

  • Cellulite and sagging
  • Orange peel
  • Lymphatic problems
  • Poor circulation, varicose vein prevention
  • Muscle and joint problems (physiotherapy)
  • Constipation
  • Stretch marks
  • Postpartum care
  • Fluid retention and localised swelling
  • Before and afer liposuction
  • Menopause
  • Edema
  • Weight gain
  • General tiredness

However, pressure therapy should not be used when there are varicose veins, ulcers, blood pressure problems, lymphangitis, thrombophlebitis, vein thrombosis, inflammatory arthritis, neoplasmas, cardiocirculatory decompensation, or during pregnancy. Neither when the patient suffers asthma or heart failure, kidney or respiratory failure.

Pressotherapy is the best complement for liposuction as it prepares the body before surgery and helps recovery after too.
