Pressoterapiya

Pressoterapiya is the cosmetic procedure representing compression hardware lymphatic drainage massage during which performing there is a conclusion of excess liquid from a human body. The essence of a pressoterapiya consists in controlled impact on lymphatic system by means of the compressed air given through special cuffs.

Lymphatic system – the most important body of our body performing functions of protection of cells of an organism against alien substances, poisons and toxins. She is responsible for process of absorption of fabrics of products of metabolism and water, promoting release of slags.

Any failure in work of lymphatic system leads to emergence of hypostases (a liquid delay in an organism) and to organism poisoning with decomposition products of the become obsolete fabric structures (viruses, microbes, internal and external toxins). Disturbances in work of lymphatic system involve not only cosmetic problems (emergence of extra kilos, cellulitis, hypostases, unhealthy complexion), but also other problems with health: decrease in immunity, headaches, low working capacity, fatigue.

During the procedure of a pressoterapiya the movement of a lymph from the center to peripheral areas becomes more active thanks to what are liquidated its stagnation. As a result outflow of a lymph is recovered, promoting clarification of a venous blood, improvement of a homeostasis, removal of muscular tension, reduction of air hunger, recovery of a water balance in an organism.

Procedure of a pressoterapiya

The device for carrying out a pressoterapiya was created by the scientist from Holland Van Der Molen who caught interrelation between impact on an organism of rhythmical discontinuous pressure upon extremities and a conclusion from fabrics of excessive lymphatic liquid. According to the scientist, this process will help the patients suffering from flabbiness of skin, cellulitis, obesity and venous hypostases.

The procedure of a pressoterapiya is carried out by means of a special suit in which through cuffs or valves compressed air moves. Thanks to features of this adaptation (two inflatable boots and 15 segments of a suit), impact of compressed air at a pressoterapiya can be made on 8 parts of a body separately.

Among patients the pressoterapiya of legs enjoys special popularity, it makes local recreational impact on the lower extremities: destroys cellulitis, liquidates fatty deposits and hypostases, removes weight from legs, tones up walls of blood vessels, being excellent prophylactic of a varicosity. As well as the procedure of a lymphatic drainage, in general, a pressoterapiya of legs can be combined with various techniques of treatment of cellulitis and correction of a figure: elektromiostimulyatsiy, girudoterapiy, ultrasonic therapy.

The pressoterapiya session, according to patients, is carried out so: the client puts on a suit to which on hands, legs and a stomach elastic cuffs are connected by means of air ducts. Then the person lays down on a couch and accepts a comfortable position. As the suit is filled with air, in it there is a rhythmical alternation of pressure differences (high and low) and pauses between them.

Carrying out fluctuations in a pressokostyuma, air waves create mechanical impact on skin, body muscles, a hypodermic fatty tissue, and also venous and absorbent vessels of hands and legs. At the time of soft, but intensive squeezing deep massage at the expense of what muscles are saturated with blood is done air, the metabolism in cells becomes more active, toxins and excess liquid are removed from them.

The modes of a compression and vacuum in a pressokostyuma alternate bucketed from 2 minutes to 30 seconds. Duration of a session of a pressoterapiya makes 20-45 minutes.

According to reviews, the pressoterapiya in number of one procedure is equivalent to 20-30 sessions of usual manual massage.

• Body capacities are considerably reduced, fatty tissue, hypostases are liquidated, slags and excesses of liquid are removed from an organism;
• Due to the expressed vasodilating and spasmolytic action the pressoterapiya of legs promotes prevention of a varicosity;

• Tuberculosis;
• Existence high-quality and malignancies;
• Existence of blood clots in vessels and blood, the expressed tendency to their education;
