Pressotherapy represents a therapeutic massage useful for reducing oedema, stimulating blood flow thanks to the pressure,
improving aesthetic of the treated parts of the body. Pressotherapy is addressed to remove exciding interstitial liquids and favoring venous and lymphatic flow, by respecting physiological
circle to the different interested anatomic parts. Drainage effect is coming only while pressure has been properly adjusted
for making sequential pressure and pressure phases are alternated to rest phases (intermittent pressures).
1- Increasing of venous and lymphatic flow velocity: applied pressure
makes lower dimensions of venous and lymphatic vesselswhere pressure is applied. Effect is the increasing of blood flow velocity into the
venous and lymphatic systems.
2- Biochemical effects: hardening and elastic force coming from the
physiologioc reply, grant anti-trombotic, fibrous and vasodilatation process.
3- Effects over edema: pressure, which is applied over the skin, is transmitted to the sub-cutaneous layers. This action makes greater capillary
absorption capability, reduction of lymphatic interstitial load, volume
increasing.
