Understanding the benefits
of Compression therapy
What is Compression therapy?
Compression therapy sometimes referred to as lymphatic drainage or pressotherapy, increases blood flow throughout the body, from the legs to the heart and other essential organs. Your lymphatic system removes waste from your body. It supports your veins while also reducing swelling at the same time.
Compression therapy helps improve performance, lessen discomfort following exercise, and drastically lower the risk of blood clots.
Pressotherapy is a procedure that enhances lymphatic drainage, which makes the arms and legs appear slimmer (because they hold less fluid), reduces aches and pains, and purifies the body. Using an air pressure machine, it inflates a suit that squeezes your arms, legs, or abdomen rhythmically, much like a massage.
There is some evidence that lymphatic drainage massage, such as compression therapy, can help to minimise the appearance of cellulite and discharge fluid from the lymph nodes that can accumulate after surgery or some cancer therapies.
This article will go over what to expect from pressotherapy, who is a good candidate for it, the benefits and adverse effects, and how much it will cost.
For people with a range of illnesses, compression therapy is helpful and can improve their quality of life. Doctors usually prescribe it to prevent the progression of venous insufficiency.
Your arteries carry blood from your heart to the rest of your body. Your veins allow blood to return to the heart and have valves that stop blood from returning in the other direction.
When your veins have trouble bringing blood from your extremities back to your heart, you have venous insufficiency. Due to the inadequate blood flow returning to the heart in this condition, blood pools in the veins of your legs.
Compression therapy improves blood flow to the heart and increases blood flow to your legs by applying controlled pressure. It supports your veins while also reducing swelling at the same time.

What are the Benefits?
What are the Benefits?
Pressotherapy causes the lymphatic system to be activated. When the lymphatic system is functioning effectively, lymph, a fluid containing white blood cells that aid in the fight against disease, is distributed. Some potential benefits of compression therapy include the following:
- Muscles are relaxed, and there are fewer aches
- Cellulite appearance is reduced
- Swelling and stiffness in the limbs are reduced
- Helps remove toxins
- Skin becomes firmer and toned
- Lymphatic circulation is improved, resulting in a stronger immune system.
How Does
Compression therapy Work?
How does Compression therapy Work?
- You will be shown to a pressotherapy chair or bed when you arrive for your session. You are not required to take off your clothes. While you can learn how to give yourself a lymphatic drainage massage at home, compression therapy should always be done by a trained professional in a professional setting.
- The aesthetician will assist you in putting on the garment (which resembles a spacesuit worn by astronauts). Wrap it around your legs, midsection, arms, or all three.
- The garment is equipped with tubes that connect to a computerised air pressure system. You will feel a squeezing feeling that should seem like pressure rather than pain as the garment inflates with air.
- A typical session lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. Afterwards, your body could feel light, and some people have mentioned that they immediately need to urinate, which could be associated with water circulation in the body. As often as twice a week can be spent engaging in compression therapy.

Before having Pressotherapy at Pure Medical you will be seen by one of our doctors, they will check to see if you’re healthy enough to receive therapy and advice you about the best way to prepare for your treatment.
Compression therapy is a procedure that is said to help with lymphatic drainage, thereby potentially slimming the look of the arms and legs (because they carry less fluid), easing aches and pains, and detoxifying the body. It uses an air pressure machine to inflate a suit that squeezes your arms, legs, or abdomen in a rhythmic motion, similar to a massage.
In addition, there is some evidence that lymphatic drainage massage like Pressotherapy can reduce the appearance of cellulite and release fluid in the lymph nodes which may build up after surgery or after certain cancer treatments.
Treatments are usually repeated over days or weeks. You should complete the whole course for the most benefit.
If you are sick or have the following symptoms, your treatment session may be postponed.
- Severe cold or flu
- Chest infection
- Runny nose
- Sickness (nausea).

- Reduction in the appearance of cellulite
- Reduction of swelling and stiffness in the limbs
- Removal of toxins, though this needs more research
- Toned and firm skin
- Stronger immune system due to lymph moving properly
