The Technology
The beauty of the The FLOWpresso® is that it is both a manual and mechanical lymphatic drainage therapy. It involves a cyclical compression bodysuit, which has about 22 air compression chambers that inflate and deflate sequentially with the help of a specialist. It is believed to stimulate and decongest the body’s lymphatic system, which is responsible for creating physiological balance by draining excess fluid, enhancing immunity by filtering out bacteria and other pathogens from the blood and removing waste generated by the body’s cellular activities.
Who Can Benefit?
The FLOWpresso® may be specifically recommended for those who have had surgery or other conditions that have led to a fluid build-up in their bodies known as lymphedema.
Recently, more types of The FLOWpresso® therapy have gained popularity and have switched from conventional use. Some of them include facial lymphatic drainage as a part of their beauty regimen and massage therapy for cellulite.
Anyone looking for a lymphatic massage and ready to feel warm compresses.
