THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
The lymphatic system maintains fluid balance, supports immune defence, and transports absorbed fats. Unlike the cardiovascular system, it is passive, relying on external forces - muscle contraction, arterial pulsation - to propel lymph. Sedentary lifestyles, surgery, and gravitational challenges impair lymphatic flow. Pressotherapy provides the external mechanical force lymphatics require.
THE MECHANISM
Intermittent pneumatic compression garments with overlapping chambers inflate sequentially from distal to proximal, creating a peristaltic wave that propels lymph toward regional nodes. Pressures are low - 20 to 120 millimetres of mercury - and carefully controlled.
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
Lymphatic drainage and detoxification reduce fluid retention and the sensation of bloating. Cellulite management addresses the vascular and lymphatic insufficiency component. Post-surgical recovery accelerates oedema resolution and prevents fibrosis. Venous insufficiency symptom relief benefits patients with prolonged standing occupations. The treatment is also deeply relaxing.
THE LITHUANIAN MARKET
Lithuania's long winters and sedentary office-based workforce contribute to circulatory and lymphatic sluggishness. Pressotherapy addresses these concerns effectively. The treatment appeals to body contouring patients, post-surgical patients, and wellness seekers.
