Pressotherapy
What is Pressotherapy?
Pressotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that involves the application of air pressure - alternating between compression and decompression - on parts of the body. This can help to stimulate the lymphatic system, which helps to clear toxins from the body and stimulate blood circulation. Pressure is applied with a specialized pressotherapy device. Pressotherapy has both cosmetic and medical uses.

When to avoid Pressotherapy?
​
Pressotherapy is generally considered safe for adults of all ages. However, If you’re pregnant, have recently had surgery, or have other health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, or fever, always talk to a doctor before getting pressotherapy. If you’ve recently broken a bone or have osteoporosis or another bone condition, you should also check in with a doctor to make sure this treatment is not too intense on the injury.
