What Is Pressotherapy

Sequential Pneumatic Compression

Inflatable boots, armbands or an abdominal band inflate in sequence, from the extremities towards the core. The wave replicates and amplifies the body's own lymphatic and venous return.

Controlled air pressure mechanically stimulates the lymphatic system, pushing lymph and venous blood back towards the centre. Inflammatory mediators clear faster, swelling drops and recovery shortens.

How It Works

The Physiology Of Lymphatic Drainage

The Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system is a one-way drainage network running alongside the circulatory system, collecting excess fluid, metabolic waste and immune cells and returning them to the bloodstream. It has no pump — flow depends entirely on muscle contraction and movement. Hard training floods the muscles with waste products such as lactic acid, prostaglandins and cytokines, and full recovery cannot happen until the system clears them. When it falls behind, the result is the soreness, heaviness and swelling every athlete knows.

How Sequential Compression Helps

Chambers inflate from foot to thigh in a wave, driving lymph and venous blood towards the core — doing the work of muscle contraction while the body rests. Lactic acid and inflammatory mediators clear faster, swelling and oedema fall, venous return improves and the gap between hard sessions shortens. Athletes describe it as having the fatigue squeezed out of their legs.

Clinical Applications

Four Core Applications

Sport Recovery

Clears lactic acid and metabolic waste after training. Less DOMS, less heaviness, a faster return to full intensity.

Medical Lymphoedema

A primary treatment for chronic swelling caused by lymphatic damage or dysfunction, delivered on registered medical devices.

Post-op Oedema

Reduces post-surgical swelling and DVT risk, and maintains circulation in immobile patients. Standard in hospital and clinic settings.

Aesthetic Contouring

Softens the appearance of cellulite and contours legs, buttocks and abdomen. A popular addition to a clinic treatment menu.
