Pressotherapy in Barnsley

Lymphatic drainage is a physiotherapeutic treatment, also known as pressotehrapy, involves a pressure massage to improve the flow of blood and lymph in the body. Due to the specificity of problems with the lymphatic system, treatments are most often performed on the lower or upper limbs - it is from there that lymph or blood have the longest route to travel, therefore the body needs support on this line. However, such massages can also cover the abdomen, hips and buttocks.

Most often, mechanical or manual lymphatic massage is used to eliminate swelling and pain caused by them, to accelerate regeneration after training, and to prevent cardiovascular and lymphatic system failure. However, these treatments also serve to remove cellulite and detoxify, and support obesity treatment. As you can see, not only medicine and physiotherapy, but also cosmetology benefit from the benefits of lymphatic drainage.
