Pressotherapy
Sequential air-pressure compression in a soft suit, for a relaxed, lighter feeling while you simply lie back.
Pressotherapy uses a suit with separate air chambers, for example around the legs. The chambers inflate and release one after another, from the feet upwards, creating a gentle, wave-like compression.
You rest while the device works. The sequence follows the same direction as manual lymphatic drainage, which is why many clients combine the two or use pressotherapy between other body treatments.

Benefits
What clients often describe after pressotherapy. Every body responds differently; we never promise a specific result.
Less visible puffiness
It may temporarily soften the look of fluid retention, for example after a long day standing.
Effortless rest
You lie back for 40 minutes while the suit does the work.
A good add-on
It pairs well with lymphatic drainage or body sculpting.
Even and consistent
The pressure sequence is the same from start to finish.
Easy to fit in
A shorter session that fits into a busy week.
