What is pressotherapy?

Pressotherapy is a veno-lymphatic drainage practiced by physiotherapists, in aesthetic medicine, in beauty salons or at home. It stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation. With the help of a pressotherapy device and boots, the massages go from the bottom to the top of the legs. There is also pressotherapy for the arms with sleeves and the stomach with a belt. A pressotherapy treatment causes air pockets to inflate and deflate, exerting pressure. The principle of a pressotherapy machine is similar to the manual massage called palpé-roulé.

What is pressotherapy used for??

Pressotherapy is effective against heavy legs. Its main use concerns circulation problems (poor venous return). It helps to fight against aqueous cellulite in pressotherapy. Aqueous cellulite is caused by water retention, so better drainage gives results. Pressotherapy has an effect on "orange peel skin", as lymphatic drainage improves the appearance of the skin. It can reshape the body after liposuction. It is also appreciated by some sportsmen and women to recover better.

Main benefits of pressotherapy

Pressotherapy is a medical, slimming and aesthetic ally:
• against pain due to poor blood and lymphatic circulation,
• against post-operative pain or pain due to injuries, such as sprains,
• against toxins.
It has medical indications, such as varicose veins and lymphoedema. In this case, it is practiced in parallel with manual massages at the physiotherapist's. For aqueous cellulite, pressotherapy is to be considered as a complement to lifestyle measures and possibly other professional techniques.

How to use pressure therapy boots?

To know what pressure to use in pressotherapy at home and to know the ideal duration and rhythm of the sessions, it is best to obtain a medical prescription first, for sessions with a physiotherapist. At a professional, the boots are used with pressotherapy underboots, hygienic PVC protections.

How many sessions per week? It depends on the patient, but they are always more frequent at the beginning. We then evolve towards a pressotherapy session per week, a rhythm often recommended in the long term to relieve pain, then they are more spaced out..

Does lymphatic drainage make you lose weight?

In a slimming approach, pressotherapy is perfectly appropriate. It does not make you lose weight directly, but it does slim down in case of water retention. Lymphatic drainage can greatly firm and smooth the skin.

Contraindications of pressotherapy

Lymphatic drainage by mechanical action (with a pressotherapy device) is contraindicated in several cases: cardiac disorders, hypertension, renal insufficiency, venous thrombosis, phlebitis, infections, dermatoses...
You should consult your doctor, but it is sometimes possible to practice pressotherapy during pregnancy. Lymphatic massage has benefits for heavy legs during pregnancy. However, compression stockings are more often preferred.
