Pressure therapy is a physical therapy technique that uses a specialized machine to apply pressure to various parts of the body. This technique is used to improve blood circulation, reduce fluid retention and relieve muscle tension. The following is a description of how a typical pressotherapy session is performed:
- Preparation: Before starting the session, the user is placed in a comfortable area in a completely horizontal position and wearing comfortable clothes.
- Garment placement: The pressotherapy garment is placed on the areas of the body that require treatment (usually pants or boots but garments such as arm sleeves and abdominal binders are also available). The garment in question is connected to the pressotherapy machine and is inflated and released at regular intervals to apply pressure to the treated areas.
- Pressure adjustment: The user will adjust the pressure of the pressure therapy machine to suit the needs. The pressure can vary from mild to strong and can be adjusted on different areas of the body.
- Start of treatment: With the pressure set, the user will start the pressotherapy machine and begin to apply pressure to the treated areas of the body. The pressotherapy session usually lasts between 20 and 30 minutes and up to 45 minutes.
- Rest: During the session, the user should relax and rest. And although the ideal is to remain still and not move during the treatment, the user can take advantage of the time to read a book, watch television, etc.
- End of treatment: Once the session is over, the user will unplug the pressotherapy machine and remove the garment. The user should stretch slowly and get up carefully to avoid dizziness or imbalance.
- Additional tips: It is recommended that the user drink water and do gentle exercise to help release toxins and improve blood circulation. A series of pressotherapy sessions can also be scheduled for best results.
Overall, pressotherapy is a safe and effective process that offers a wide variety of health, aesthetic and sports benefits.
