Pressotherapy is an innovative, non-invasive technique that has been gaining prominence in both the therapeutic and aesthetic fields. Used by physiotherapists as a complement to various treatments, this therapy is based on the application of air pressure in rhythmic and controlled movements, stimulating lymphatic and venous circulation.

What is Pressotherapy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pressotherapy is a treatment that uses specialised equipment with inflatable bands (usually placed on the legs, abdomen or arms) to perform a compressive massage, with the aim of promoting venous return and stimulating the lymphatic system. It is particularly effective in reducing fluid retention, relieving the feeling of heavy legs, improving circulation and muscle recovery.<\/p>\n
