So, as mentioned above, lymphatic drainage is one of the types of hardware massage. In this case, the person is fully or partially in a special suit, consisting of certain sections. Each of the sections will gradually fill with air, while creating the necessary pressure. In this case, the effect on the intercellular fluid occurs, and the removal of harmful substances from the body begins, the metabolism and blood flow also improve, the pressure returns to normal. And most importantly, excess fluid will be removed from the body, which contributes to weight loss.
Of course, going through such procedures just for the sake of getting rid of excess weight is very inefficient. Since weight is reduced only by getting rid of excess water accumulated in the body. But still, lymphatic drainage improves metabolism, and if you supplement such procedures with exercises in the gym, then it will be much easier to get rid of extra pounds. But also for cosmetic purposes, such devices can be used to eliminate the "orange peel". It is advisable to start pressotherapy at the first sign of cellulite. Then you can achieve the desired effect after several procedures. Lymphatic drainage also copes with advanced forms, but this will require a longer course, constant dieting and at least some physical activity.
The above problems are more related to cosmetic procedures, but lymphatic drainage is very popular in medical practice. The main task of the lymphatic system is to remove toxins, excess fluid and harmful substances from the body, but the body itself does not always cope with this task. And pressotherapy stimulates the proper functioning of the lymph. Since these procedures increase blood flow and improve blood clotting, very often lymphatic drainage is prescribed for varicose veins. These procedures will put pressure on the legs, which will create a contraction of the walls of the venous vessels and improve blood flow in the legs.
In addition, such procedures are prescribed for edema. They are practiced even in pregnant women, but here you need a doctor's consultation. Women in position are not allowed to carry out procedures without the permission of a specialist.
Also indications for pressure therapy are nervousness, insomnia, stress, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, problems with the intestines.
But still, lymphatic drainage has contraindications. These procedures are not performed for skin diseases, after vascular surgery, the presence of malignant tumors, with renal and hepatic insufficiency, during menstruation and some other diseases.
Side effects may occur after the procedures. For example, pain may increase, hematomas may occur due to rupture of capillaries, or an autonomic reaction may appear.
To start the procedure, parts of a special suit are put on certain parts of the body. These parts are connected to the device.After that, the specialist sets the necessary parameters, where the intensity and time of exposure are regulated. After starting the program, the selected areas begin to be affected by compressed air pressure. This effect can be compared with the sensations experienced by the hand when measuring pressure. But such an effect during pressotherapy will take place at certain intervals, as if pulsating.
Depending on the goals and problems of the patient, the course and time of one session is selected. Usually, the session lasts about 30 minutes, and the course is about 10-20 procedures. Daily lymphatic drainage massage is not recommended. It is advisable to do 2-3 procedures per week with a break of 2-3 days.
When choosing a place where you want to undergo pressotherapy, pay attention to the qualifications of the employee who will carry out the procedure. It is important that he understands the structure of the human body, then he will be able to choose the right program, and the whole process will not cause discomfort to the patient.
Devices for lymphatic drainage can work both from the embedded program, and you can make settings yourself. All this depends on the wishes of the patient, the characteristics of his body and the state of health. Women usually suffer from swelling of the legs and varicose veins, so they prefer to have procedures on the lower half of the body. But for the best result, have a complex effect that will cover the area of \u200b\u200bthe legs, abdomen and arms.
If pain occurs during this hardware massage, this should be reported to the specialist immediately. This may be the result of an incorrectly selected program.

Pay attention to the number and power of compressors. Usually there are devices with one and two compressors. For the use of the device in salons or medical institutions, it is better to choose a two-compressor option. It has a more effective effect on selected areas of the body and has a uniform distribution of air. For use at home, you do not need much power and a device with one compressor is quite suitable. Also, attention should be paid to the valves of the product, metal valves will extend the life of the device, while plastic ones may soon break.
An important detail when buying a pressotherapy device is the material of the cuffs. A poor-quality product will quickly become covered with cracks, which will lead to disrepair. It is better to choose cuffs made of elastic material, and each part of the body should have its own cuffs. Also, each part of the costume consists of segments, the higher their number, the more effective the procedure will be.
Pay attention to the quality and method of connecting the tubes supplying air to the suit. With separate tubes, it will take more time to assemble the suit, and the tubes can soon become unusable from constant disconnection. Therefore, experts recommend taking models with a stationary duct. Also, these tubes should not be too narrow, this will take longer to pump air.Also, their material must be sufficiently flexible and elastic.
