What Is Pressotherapy?

Pressotherapy (compression therapy) is used to promote fluid movement inside the body, normalising venous circulation, removing lymphatic stasis and preventing related conditions. It consists of using an air pressure machine to inflate a suit that squeezes your legs in a rhythmics motion. The machine massages the legs from the toes to the middle of the thighs.​​
