The normal functioning of the lymphatic system largely determines both the fit and the health of the body as a whole. The lymphatic system performs a lot of different functions in the body, including the removal of excess fluid and the removal of decay products along with it, the transport of hormones, the tasks of the immune system, and much more. When the lymph flow slows down, stagnation occurs, metabolic processes worsen, body contours blur, swelling and fatigue appear. To remove all these symptoms and return the contours to firmness, experts recommend undergoing lymphatic drainage procedures (usually massage), among which pressotherapy is especially effective.<\/p>\n
Pressotherapy, or, as this procedure is also called, hardware lymphatic drainage, is a massage that consists in rhythmically squeezing the body with compressed air. Pressotherapy is carried out using a special suit consisting of cuff chambers into which air is injected. It takes into account all the anatomical features of a person and during the procedure tightly wraps around and compresses the body. The specialist determines the strength of the impact for each patient individually, so that there is no discomfort. Pressure in this case occurs in the direction of the lymph flow from the periphery to the center. This allows you to properly "disperse" the lymph and eliminate all congestion. Pressotherapy helps not only to quickly cope with swelling, but also to slightly correct body volumes. The technique works both in the hips and abdomen, and in the area of \u200b\u200bu200bu200bthe arms and legs. And due to mechanical action and activation of microcirculation in the tissues, it allows you to smooth out the severity of cellulite and make the skin more dense and smooth. The result can be seen after 3-4 procedures. By the way, pressure therapy is quite a budgetary procedure, which nevertheless allows you to get a decent result: more slender contours, firmer skin and lightness in the body.<\/p>\n
The pressotherapy procedure is carried out in the supine position for about half an hour. Two hours before it should not eat, the bladder should be empty. After the session, you should lie down for a bit and then get up without sudden movements. Pressotherapy can cause minor hematomas on the body and swelling in atypical places, which is temporary and not dangerous. Also, after the session, there may be increased urination – this is how the body gets rid of the accumulated excess fluid.<\/p>\n
The indication for pressotherapy is, first of all, swelling of the body, physical inactivity, overwork. The procedure is also indicated for the prevention of varicose veins, cardiovascular diseases, as a rehabilitation technique after some plastic surgeries (for example, liposuction). To be in good shape: we strengthen the skin and muscles with the help of electromyostimulation<\/strong>Among the contraindications to pressotherapy are severe cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, a tendency to bleeding, neurological pathologies, oncology, the presence of metal structures in the affected area, and the period of menstruation. A specific contraindication is a violation of the skin. The course of procedures is selected individually and may include 15-25 sessions, which are recommended to be carried out no more than once every 2-3 days, so that the body has time to relax and adapt to new conditions.<\/p>\n
