Pressotherapy: how to treat and prevent obesity

Hello everyone

Many people have probably heard about the existence of the pressotherapy procedure, but not everyone knows what it is. Butthis is one of the most popular medical and cosmetic procedures today.

This is due to its wide range of beneficial effects on the body. The method is especially effective in terms of weight loss and getting rid of cellulite.

In this way, you can not only get slimness, but also generally correct the existing defects of the figure, as well as improve your health.

Pressotherapy is a hardware type of massage. Today, this procedure is included in the list of services in many medical centers and beauty salons.

The discoverer of this method was the Dutch scientist van Der Molin. He invented a design that created a certain pressure on certain parts of the body.

As a result, the person shrinks, which helps to remove excess fluids from the tissues through the bloodstream.



Initially, such a device was used to restore people who had suffered serious injuries. Because they suffered from increased puffiness, and pressotherapy helped to cope with this painlessly and quickly.

A little later, additional multiple useful properties of such physiotherapy were revealed, which are still successfully used not only for medical but also cosmetic purposes.

Due to compression, the effect on the lymphatic system occurs, so that a powerful lymphatic drainage effect is noted – all harmful substances naturally leave the body.

Along with this, the blood begins to circulate faster. Against this background, the metabolism improves and the weight loss process accelerates.

THE EFFECT OF AIR PRESSURE ON THE BODY (5 PLUSES)

Due to the rhythmic compression of the body, internal organs and systems are activated. As a result, the stagnant blood and lymph from below begins to move faster up the veins.

This effect is mainly directed at muscle tissue, superficial veins, skin layers and fat layer, lymph vessels.

The positive effect of press massage is as follows:

excess fluid accumulated in the intercellular space is excreted through the skin and kidneys;
the body is cleared of toxins and toxins;
metabolic processes are normalized;
water balance is restored;
vascular walls become elastic, and the vessels themselves expand.

According to numerous reviews, pressotherapy is a universal tool that allows you to lose weight without physical exertion and at the same time get rid of cellulite (see the photo before and after), varicose veins and edema.

Just after 2-3 sessions, the following changes are observed: 

There is a lightness in the legs.
"Orange peel" on problem areas is smoothed out.
The contours of the waist and hips appear.
Puffiness disappears.
The muscles relax.
Improves the condition of the epidermis.

As for cellulite neoplasms, pressotherapy will be most effective at the early stage of the lesion.

It is recommended to use this method as a preventive measure. If the case is running, you will need to complete a full course and continue to pay attention to sports and eat properly.

Based on all of the above, we can conclude that pressotherapy is one of the best methods of getting rid of excess weight and correcting the silhouette.

Many cosmetology centers promise their clients to get an amazing effect in three sessions – the waist will become a little thinner, the scales will please you with new figures.

This is true – you will get the result due to the release of excess fluid from your body. But will the indicators persist for a long time? Unfortunately, there is a high probability that it is not. As soon as you drink enough water and eat something salty, the lost pounds may well return.

The results may not last long – especially if a person drinks a lot of water

Pressotherapy is called "weight loss for the lazy", because a single procedure is equivalent in its results to two hard evenings in the gym. Although there are differences, of course: pressotherapy does not get rid of fat deposits, it removes excess fluids. Will it be possible to forget about "orange peel"?

Here the chances are already increasing, because cellulite is actually a local edema that does not allow blood to pass normally through the vessels, which worsens the appearance of the skin. The best effect will be if you combine this procedure with others – for example, it is often done together with a vacuum roller massage or wraps.

Get rid of cellulite will be quite fast

This procedure has contraindications

People suffering from diabetes, pressotherapy is not prohibited. However, if the disease has affected the blood vessels, such a procedure is strictly prohibited. The same applies to neoplasms of various types. 

Please note! Since the impact of the device is quite gentle, pressotherapy can be a substitute for electrophoresis, ultrasound therapy. This is especially true for people who are prohibited from these procedures for one reason or another.

Are there any side effects?
There are two main side effects of this procedure.

Bruises. Since the body is exposed to mechanical action, you may notice bruises and redness on your skin after the procedure. You can reduce the number and intensity of such manifestations by selecting clothing that will reduce the pressure on the skin.

Bruises may appear after the procedure
Diuretic effect. After this procedure, you may feel the need to visit the restroom more often. Note that this is not so bad, on the contrary. Constant small need proves that the process activated by this massage does not stop even after leaving the doctor's office.

Please note! Pressotherapy is recommended to be combined with both wrapping and other massage methods. For example, try combining it with LPG massage. Some people are confused about these terms, considering them synonymous, but there are still distinctive features. Pressotherapy strengthens the body, even if you only treat the limbs.

After reviewing the contraindications and discussing the situation with a specialist, you should clearly make sure that pressotherapy is not prohibited for you. After that, start preparing. Two hours before this massage, do not eat, you can only drink clean water. Before the procedure, you need to empty the bladder and treat the area of skin that will be exposed with a wet cloth. Repeating these simple steps, you will enjoy the results of the procedure.

If we compare pressotherapy and classical massage, we can note that the first one is more effective and gives results faster.

Thank you for your attention!
