How to Customize Pressotherapy for Different Body Types
Why Customization Matters in Pressotherapy Treatments
Pressotherapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all therapy. Clients come with different body shapes, fluid retention patterns, fat distribution, and comfort levels. That’s why customizing the pressure levels, session duration, and zone focus is essential for delivering effective and safe results. Whether you're treating an athletic build, a curvy silhouette, or someone with sensitive circulation, adapting the Pressotherapy protocol will ensure better outcomes in lymphatic drainage, slimming, and post-surgical recovery.
| Body Type | Main Goal | Customization Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Athletic / muscular | Recovery & soreness relief | Use higher pressure; focus on legs |
| Curvy / pear-shaped | Lymphatic drainage & slimming | Emphasize lower body zones |
| Slim / petite | Detox & tone | Use low pressure to avoid discomfort |
How to Adjust Pressure and Zones Based on Client Physiology
Advanced Pressotherapy machines come with adjustable pressure levels and programmable air chambers. To adapt treatments: - **For clients with poor circulation** (e.g., older adults), reduce overall pressure and shorten session duration. - **For post-surgery clients**, avoid high pressure near incision sites and emphasize light drainage. - **For athletes**, apply higher intensity programs to quads, calves, and glutes.
| Client Group | Pressure Level | Suggested Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Older adults | Low–medium | Legs and arms with slow rhythm |
| Post-op clients | Very low | Gentle abdominal drainage |
| Athletes | Medium–high | Focus on leg recovery |
Additional Customizations: Time, Temperature, and Wraps
In addition to pressure levels, pressotherapy protocols can be customized by: - **Session time**: Start with 20–30 minutes; increase to 45 minutes for detox/silhouette reshaping. - **Infrared heat**: Use for clients with cellulite or poor circulation. Avoid in clients sensitive to heat. - **Topical wraps**: Apply firming or detox gels under the suit to boost results (ensure suit protection with plastic barrier).
| Custom Setting | When to Use | Precaution |
|---|---|---|
| Infrared mode ON | For cellulite, stubborn fat | Avoid with heat sensitivity |
| Topical slimming gel | During contouring treatments | Use plastic wrap to protect suit |
| Longer session time | Experienced clients | Monitor comfort closely |
