Flowpresso®
Advanced Lymphatic Compression Therapy
Feel lighter. Recover deeper.
A full-body compression therapy system that supports your lymphatic system, calms your nervous system and leaves you feeling deeply restored in just 40 minutes.
WHAT IS FLOWPRESSO?
Three therapies in one restorative session
Flowpresso® is an FDA Class II Medical Device that simultaneously combines cyclic pneumatic compression, far infrared heat and deep pressure therapy to support the lymphatic system and restore the body's natural balance.
A non-invasive, specially designed suit encloses your feet, legs, abdomen and arms as you remain fully clothed.
Over 40 minutes, 22 internal chambers gently inflate and deflate in sequence, encouraging lymph flow from the feet upward, while gentle warmth and deep pressure promote profound relaxation.
The experience is often described as deeply calming like being held in a firm, therapeutic embrace that melts away tension from the inside out.
HOW IT WORKS
A 3-in-1 therapeutic experience
Each element of the Flowpresso system is carefully designed to work in harmony with the others, amplifying the benefits you feel both during and after your session.
🌀 Cyclic Compression
Sequential inflation of 22 chambers moves from the feet upward, replicating the natural pumping action of the lymphatic system to reduce fluid retention and support detoxification.
☀️ Far Infrared Heat
Gentle infrared warmth penetrates deep into tissues not just the surface to promote circulation, ease muscle tension and encourage the body into a restorative state.
🤝 Deep Pressure Therapy
Full-body deep pressure, similar to the calming effect of a weighted blanket or firm hug, activates the parasympathetic nervous system to reduce stress hormones and promote calm.
SPECIALIST CARE
A trusted support for Lymphoedema
At Hands On Clinic, we understand how significantly lymphoedema can affect everyday life - the heaviness, discomfort, restricted movement and the ongoing effort of self-management. Flowpresso® has been developed with lymphatic conditions at its core and at our clinic, the majority of our Flowpresso clients live with lymphoedema.
Delivered by our experienced team of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) therapists, Flowpresso sessions at Hands On are always guided by clinical expertise. We understand the lymphatic system deeply and we'll ensure your treatment is safe, appropriate and as effective as possible for your individual situation.
Flowpresso is not a replacement for MLD or Combined Decongestive Therapy, but it can be a valuable complementary tool - helping to maintain the gains achieved through your hands-on treatment and giving your lymphatic system consistent, gentle support between appointments.
