Pressotherapy in Kyiv

Device-assisted lymphatic drainage massage, pressotherapy, and pneumatic massage are methods of mechanical influence on the lymphatic system with compressed air delivered through special cuffs. Excess extracellular fluid is moved out of the tissues of the treated areas, which promotes lymphatic drainage and stimulates blood circulation. Pressotherapy in Kyiv at the multidisciplinary CSM Clinic may help relieve a number of uncomfortable conditions, support disease prevention, and give a positive cosmetic effect on the skin. At our full-cycle medical center, you can take a course of pressotherapy on a modern 12-channel BTL-6000 LYMPHASTIM 12 TOPLINE device with advanced pressure gradient settings and the option to switch off one or several sectors.

Questions and Answers

Which is better, pressotherapy or LPG massage?

Pressotherapy is aimed mostly at removing excess fluid from the body, while lymphatic drainage (LPG) massage has a more comprehensive effect on the body, so its effect may be more pronounced. The choice of method depends on the range of tasks to be addressed.

Can pressotherapy be combined with massage?

Yes, it can. Combining pressotherapy with LPG massage may enhance the effect of the procedures.

What does pressotherapy feel like?

A pressotherapy session usually causes neither pain nor discomfort; on the contrary, it has a relaxing effect, and patients often feel refreshed. Muscle soreness and noticeable swelling in the limbs may decrease.

Can pressotherapy be done with uterine fibroids?

Pressotherapy should not be used with fibroids. The procedure stimulates blood circulation throughout the body, including in the vessels connected to the fibroid nodes, which may increase the risk of growth of existing nodes and the formation of new ones.

Can pressotherapy be done with varicose veins?

In some cases, yes, but only after an examination and with the specialist's approval. For varicose veins without complications, pressotherapy is painless and may help relieve swelling and heaviness in the legs. It is not performed in cases of thrombophlebitis or recent thrombosis.

How is pressotherapy useful for women?

Device-assisted lymphatic drainage massage may help support the vessel walls and improve blood circulation in the limbs. For women, it may also help reduce the appearance of cellulite and make the skin look firmer. Pressotherapy is also often prescribed as part of rehabilitation after an injury, stroke, surgery, or joint diseases.
