Lymphatic drainage is an irreplaceable therapeutic procedure for stimulating lymph circulation, improving venous circulation and detoxifying the body. It contributes to better nourishment and regeneration of tissue, the removal of excess fluid and the strengthening of the immune system.
In modern physical and aesthetic care, alongside the manual technique, the device-assisted lymphatic drainage technique, pressotherapy, is increasingly used. Its operating principle is based on a closed system (most often in the form of extended trousers) with cuffs built into its walls that inflate at rhythmic intervals, in a software-defined sequence, and apply pressure to the skin and tissue. The segmental increase and decrease of pressure from the periphery towards the centre induces accelerated venous and lymphatic drainage.
The REHABILITY Clinic uses one of the most advanced devices of its kind: BTL-6000 Lymphastim 12 Topline (a 12-channel system from the English manufacturer BTL).
