Lymphatic Massage With Pressotherapy: Boosting Circulation And Wellness
Pressotherapy and lymphatic massage offer many health benefits.
90% of skin problems are signs of impaired lymphatic flow. This includes double chin, thickening of the neck, sagging jowls, puffy eyelids, skin tenderness, acne and pigmentation issues.
A healthy lymphatic system is the key to glowing skin!
Pressotherapy uses air-filled sleeves to squeeze your arms, legs, or belly. By helping to move fluids through your lymphatic system, it helps to reduce swelling and make your arms, legs, or belly look slimmer. It may also ease aches and pains.
Understanding Pressotherapy and Lymphatic Massage
Pressotherapy is a customizable full-body lymphatic massage to help enhance the body’s natural detox process, revitalize the skin and boost immune health.
Known to promote relaxation, sleep management, and also benefit those who experience stress & anxiety.
Pressotherapy uses an air pressure machine to inflate a special suit. This suit squeezes targeted areas of your body in a rhythmic pattern. The pressure mimics the effects of a massage, but covers larger areas at once.
Many people find pressotherapy very relaxing. It can help you feel refreshed and energized after a session.
It's the ideal upgrade to have during your facial or as a standalone treatment up to 2 times per week!
Health Benefits of Pressotherapy
Pressotherapy boosts your lymphatic system's function. It helps move lymph fluid through your body more effectively. This process removes toxins and waste from your tissues.
Pressotherapy helps with:
Lymphatic Drainage
Detoxification
Swelling/Puffiness
Acne, dehydrated skin, dark circles & puffiness around eyes and overall glow
Sports Recovery and Pain
Cellulite
Especially beneficial for those who spend a lot of time sitting or standing all day!
Traditional Lymphatic Drainage Massage while effective is quite time consuming to do on the entire body. This is where pressotherapy comes in!
There is no downtime or pain, and it only takes 30 to 45 minutes while having your facial!
It works by stimulating the lymphatic system and moving fluid from different areas of our body towards the lymphatic glands and the body will eliminate this fluid through the urinary tract.
After you have had your first facial at Spa Matrix, we can add a Pressotherpay session while you have a facial. Or if you join our wellness membership, you can select from body treatment sessions whickh includes Pressotherapy. Ask your skin therapist what they would suggest for you.
Post-Surgical Recovery Support
After surgery, pressotherapy can speed up your healing process. It reduces swelling and promotes better circulation in treated areas.
The therapy can help manage post-operative edema. This is extra fluid that often builds up after surgery. By moving this fluid, you may experience less pain and discomfort.
Reducing Swelling and Inflammation
Pressotherapy is effective in reducing swelling throughout your body. It's particularly helpful for swollen legs and ankles.
The treatment can ease inflammation from various causes. This includes injuries, chronic conditions, or long periods of standing or sitting.
By reducing swelling, pressotherapy can relieve pain and discomfort. You may find it easier to move and perform daily activities.
Best Practices and Considerations
Pressotherapy’s full-body lymphatic massage can be very helpful when done right. Getting the most out of these treatments takes some planning and know-how.
Frequency and Duration of Sessions
How often you get treatment depends on your goals. For general wellness, once a month might be enough. If you're dealing with a specific issue, you may need more frequent sessions and you can have up to 2 per week and a session typically lasts for 45 minutes.
