Which Areas Can Be Treated with Pressotherapy?
Full-Body Circulation Starts with Targeted Care
Pressotherapy is often associated with leg compression—but that’s just the beginning. Today’s advanced systems like our Pressotherapy device can apply dynamic air pressure to multiple zones of the body: legs, abdomen, arms, hips, and even back and chest. Each zone has a distinct lymphatic function, and targeting the right area enhances both comfort and results. Understanding which areas can benefit—and how they respond—helps customize treatments whether for slimming, detox, post-op recovery, or anti-fatigue.
| Body Area | Primary Goal | Typical Result |
|---|---|---|
| Legs (calves, thighs) | Improve circulation & drain fluid | Reduced swelling, lighter legs |
| Abdomen & waist | Reduce bloating & support digestion | Flatter belly, improved gut comfort |
| Arms | Enhance drainage, reduce puffiness | Slimmer, firmer upper arms |
What Pressotherapy Does in Each Zone
Pressotherapy doesn’t just feel good—it works differently depending on where it’s applied. Each body zone has a unique lymphatic and vascular profile. For example, legs benefit most from upward venous return stimulation, while abdominal treatments support gut motility and detox. Here’s a breakdown of how each area responds to targeted compression therapy:
| Treatment Area | Mechanism of Action | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Lower body (legs, hips) | Boosts venous return, clears lymphatic fluid | Heavy legs, water retention, varicose vein support |
| Midsection (abdomen, waist) | Mild peristaltic stimulation, fluid compression | Bloating, PMS swelling, sluggish digestion |
| Upper body (arms, upper back) | Activates axillary drainage points | Post-surgery recovery, arm contouring |
Full-Body vs Localized Treatment: How to Choose
Many clients ask: should I do full-body Pressotherapy or just a specific zone? The answer depends on the goal. Full-body sessions offer systemic benefits—especially for detox, immunity, or fluid balance. Zone-focused sessions (e.g. just arms or waist) are useful when you want to address localized swelling or shape concerns more intensely. Compare options below to help clients or self-select:
| Program Type | Session Length | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Full-body compression | 45–60 minutes | Whole-body detox, immunity, post-travel reset |
| Lower-body focus | 30–40 minutes | Heavy legs, lymphatic swelling, post-lipo care |
| Abdomen-only mode | 20–30 minutes | Bloating relief, PMS, waistline refinement |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I choose which areas to activate on the machine?
A: Yes. Most professional systems allow selective activation (legs only, arms only, abdomen only, etc.).
Q: Is it safe to do upper body pressotherapy?
A: Yes—if the client has no circulatory or cardiac contraindications. Start with low pressure on arms and chest.
Q: Will targeting more zones increase detox results?
A: Not necessarily. It’s about targeted effectiveness, not volume. Sometimes localized treatment yields faster visible results.
Q: Can I alternate zones across different days?
A: Absolutely. Many clients do lower body on Day 1, abdomen on Day 2, full body once per week.
Q: Where can I get a full-body multi-zone machine?
A: Explore our newest model here: Pressotherapy by KMSLASER.
