Pressure Boot Therapy

Pressure Boot Therapy is a method of treatment on intermittent compression with air (pneumatic massage) to promote drainage.
Pressure therapy treatment is applied by means of boots/trousers, sleeves or a girdle worn by the patient, which are double-walled and compartmented into several pneumatic chambers. With the aid of a compressor, air is blown into these chambers at the correct pressure, such that they compress that particular part of the body, this pressure having a therapeutic effect. The compression promotes reabsorption of retained fluids and normalizes or potentiates their drainage towards the body’s organic filter mechanisms.

The physiological effects of Pressure Therapy
Pressure Therapy performs a circulatory massage of the zones to be treated (usually the limbs) by activating the venous return and thereby.
  - promoting the reabsorption of insterstitial fluid.
  - stimulating venous/lymphatic drainage

When Pressure Therapy is indicated
  - Cellulite reduction.
  - Assist influid accumulation in cell tissues.
  - Lymphoedema and venous oedema.
  - Post-operative oedema.
  - After cosmetic surgey, particularly liposuction, body contouring and
  hydrolipoclasia, to restore the area to normal.
  - During surgery, to prevent thromboembolism.
  - Poor peripheral circulation.
  - Preventing varicose veins.
  - Maintaining normal venous return.
  - Relaxation.

The affect of Pressure Therapy is very similar to massage, it produces an immediate improvement of the peripherical circulation.
This allows the acceleration of arterial, venous and lymphatic circulation.
