Pressotherapy: A Beneficial Intervention for People with Lymphedema

Our body contains two significant systems to transport blood: the arterial and the venous systems. The two systems converge peripherally, where arterial, venous and interstitium capillaries meet

Arterial blood arrives along the capillaries carrying nutrients to the tissues, while the venous system collects the waste substances.
The interstitium is composed of a network of cells and fibres. It is where interstitium fluid flows, composed of water, proteins, mineral salts and cells of various types, including viruses and bacteria.

The lymphatic system is a drainage system working in tandem with the venous system, and its main task is to drain the interstitial fluids present in the peripheral connective tissue. If there is an increase in interstitial fluid production, the lymphatic system will maintain its equilibrium.

Pressotherapy, or pneumatic compression therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that utilises sequential compression through inflatable sleeves or boots. These devices are designed to apply gentle pressure to different body parts, promoting the movement of lymphatic fluid and improving circulation.

The therapy mimics the natural physiological process of the lymphatic system, aiding in the drainage of excess fluid and reducing swelling.

Pressotherapy has been shown to effectively alleviate the swelling and discomfort experienced by patients with Lymphedema. By enhancing lymphatic drainage, the therapy helps decrease fluid accumulation in the affected limbs, leading to a noticeable reduction in swelling.

This contributes to improved physical appearance and enhances the overall comfort and mobility of individuals living with Lymphedema.

As pressotherapy addresses the physical symptoms of Lymphedema, it also positively impacts the psychological well-being of patients.

By reducing swelling, discomfort, and the limitations imposed by the condition, pressotherapy contributes to an enhanced quality of life. Patients often report increased confidence, improved mobility, and a more remarkable ability to engage in daily activities, fostering a more positive outlook on their overall health.

Zemits Demeter 2.0 Pressotherapy Machine is a computer-controlled dynamic air compression system that uses the compression suit with inflating air chambers. The compression suit has seven garments for feet, legs, waist, and arms around the treated body areas.

The body sculpting lymphatic drainage machine is based on the technology of compressed air pressure, which enters the suit through 44 chambers. This mechanical compression technique acts on the lymph's stagnation in a rhythmic motion similar to a lymph drainage massage, reducing the intracellular fluid.

This is why pressotherapy devices for lymphatic drainage are used to solve many problems, such as rehabilitation after surgery, reducing swelling, preventing varicose veins, removing toxins, relieving aches and pains and slimming the look of the arms and legs.

This device and treatment are staples for the beauty and health businesses and will attract many clients. A typical session will last for 30 to 45 minutes.
The 44-chamber exposure allows you to target each zone more effectively, thus giving you more advantage in offering precise individual treatments over standard devices.
