Compression Therapy

FLOWpresso®  delivers compression, far infrared heat, and deep pressure simultaneously to encourage the body’s inner systems to activate. This non-invasive natural 3in1 sensory treatment is designed to enhance physical and mental well-being and restore health.

Every body is different so it's impossible to tell you exactly how you will feel after the experience. This therapy however has demonstrated to:

• Improve the quality of sleep and reduce stress
• Increase energy and overcome fatigue
• Promote mental alertness
• Reduce anxiety
• Improve self-esteem and minimize emotional response
• Improve sports performance, recovery, and endurance
• Enhance mobility and flexibility
• Support weight management
• Restore balance and support natural self-healing mechanisms

There are two modes Sports and Rexlation;

Relaxation Mode is often referred to a gentle hug, the Sports Mode is more like a full body squeeze, improving the lymph flow and encouraging the body to release tension and detox

We ask that you bring soft, with minimal seems long sleeved top, pants/leggings and socks. You will be lying horizontally for the duration of treatment in the state-of-the-art bodysuit that is  gently wrapped around your limbs, abdomen and feet.

Once the session starts, you feel a gentle squeezing sensation as the air chambers of the bodysuit inflate and deflate. This will encourage flow through your body. It is followed by the comforting warmth of the Far Infrared. ( the warmth can be turned off and the compression chambers reduced or increased) We will be with you for the first few rounds to confirm your comfort levels then check in periodically. During your session, you may experience clarity, mindfulness and relaxation, or fall asleep.

Compression equals lymphatic movement. This technology was initially used by medicine to treat a variety of circulatory conditions, such as lymphedema, post-surgery swelling, and deep vein thrombosis.

It was around 25 years ago, it was recognized by the sporting fraternity and utilized to improve exercise performance and recovery. Compression is now commonplace and widely used in the circles of the sporting elite.

FLOWpresso delivers progressive pressure in a controlled cycle of inflation and deflation to naturally activate movement within the body. Multiple chambers will inflate and deflate and can be individually programmed to ensure an optimal experience.

This far infrared red therapy provides warmth to each of the four sections of the suit to encourage sleep promotion and relaxation in a way that helps restore balance and improve the overall state of health. It has also been indicated that Far infrared may help in fat loss, by breaking down trapped fat, waste, and cellulite, helping with chronic fatigue, water retention, skin disorders, and the general detoxification of modern polluters from our bodies.

This generates a profoundly relaxing effect allowing the body to rest and release the daily stressors of life.

A coordinated network of tissues, vessels, and organs working together to move a colorless, watery fluid called lymph back into your circulatory system (your bloodstream) after it delivers nutrients to cells and tissues and collects the waste. By returning lymph to the bloodstream it helps to maintain normal blood volume and pressure and helps prevents the excess buildup of fluid around the tissues (called edema).

It's the body's disease-fighting system and has multiple functions.

Monitors and maintains fluid levels in your body by collecting the excess fluid from cells and tissue and returning it to your bloodstream to recirculate

Protects against foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi by producing and releasing white blood cells and other immune cells

Absorbs Digestive tract fats and transports them back to the blood system

Removes cellular waste and abnormal cells from the Lymph

The benefits of Lymphatic drainage are:

• Improves the flow
