If you have ever seen those boots or inflatable suits that look like they came from a sci-fi movie… that is pressotherapy. And although it sounds like futuristic technology, more and more people (athletes, people with poor circulation, or those who simply want to take better care of themselves) are using it in their daily lives.
But what is it really for? At Wellbeinn we explain the real benefits, beyond the trend.

What is pressotherapy really for?
Beyond aesthetics, pressotherapy is a health and wellness tool. Here we break down its main effects:
Pressotherapy session: Technology for your recovery.
1 Goodbye swollen legs: If you spend many hours standing or sitting, it improves venous return. The result? Lighter legs, less swelling, and a real feeling of relief. It's like a deep massage… but automatic.
2 Eliminates fluids and improves skin: Stimulates the lymphatic system, helping to eliminate toxins. This, besides "unloading" you, can visibly improve cellulite and skin texture.
3 Ideal after exercise: Helps reduce inflammation, improves muscle oxygenation, and speeds up that “feeling good again” after a tough workout.
4 Total disconnection: You’re lying down, in silence, feeling the air wrap you in gentle waves. It’s a moment for you to release physical and mental tension.
How often should you use it?
Consistency is key. Ideally, it’s between 3 and 4 times per week, with sessions lasting 30-45 minutes.
Although you may feel relief from the first session, it’s best to do a minimum of 6-8 sessions to see more stable and lasting changes in your circulation and skin.
⚠️ Are there any contraindications?
Yes, like any effective treatment, it has its limits. It is not recommended if you have deep vein thrombosis, active skin infections, severe heart disease, or certain types of cancer.
Always consult your specialist first if you have any doubts or preexisting medical conditions.
“It’s not magic. It doesn’t replace exercise or diet. But as a complement, it’s a very powerful, non-invasive tool perfect for your daily recovery.”
