Fluid Retention
Fluid retention can be treated through manual massages or specialized devices.
Manual drainage massage is a specific therapeutic massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system, promoting fluid reabsorption, toxin elimination, and enhancing immune function. This type of massage is highly recommended before and after surgery.
Pressotherapy is a method used to improve fluid retention and circulation (heavy legs, pain, fluid buildup, cellulite, etc.).
The treatment involves placing the legs into compartmentalized boots, where controlled air pressure is applied. This creates a mechanical compression massage, which promotes the drainage of retained fluids, directing them toward the body’s natural filtration systems for elimination.
Improvements in circulatory symptoms can be felt from the first session—lighter, less swollen, and more relaxed legs. However, to maintain these benefits, weekly sessions are recommended, especially in summer or during warmer periods when symptoms tend to worsen.
No, quite the opposite. The compression massage is extremely pleasant and relaxing.
