Pressure therapy is a therapeutic technique used in rehabilitation. It consists of the use of negative pressure, also known as vacuum therapy, for the treatment of various pathologies. This technique accelerates the healing of muscle and joint injuries, improves blood circulation and reduces inflammation.

This technique is mainly used to treat muscle injuries, arthritis, orthopedic surgery, sports trauma and post-operative rehabilitation.

Pressure therapy is considered an effective part of treatment in certain rehabilitation situations. This is due to its numerous benefits, which include improving blood and lymphatic circulation, relieving muscle tension, relaxing adjacent muscles and structures, reducing pain and facilitating joint movements.

In addition, pressure therapy can help enhance the effects of other rehabilitation treatments, such as therapeutic massage, electrotherapy, cryotherapy, local heat, as well as some complementary therapies.

As technology advances, pressotherapy will continue to advance and improve. It is expected that in the future , new treatments will be developed that combine pressotherapy with other therapies to improve rehabilitation outcomes.
