What is it and what effect does it have on the body?
Pneumatic pressotherapy is a therapeutic technique based on applying positive pressure to the tissues through an inflatable chamber that adapts to the patient's body and causes an ascending pressure gradient from the feet to the thigh and abdomen.
This causes a massage-like action, combined with a gradual compressive effect. This combination of elements controlled by a computer system improves and stimulates venous return circulation as a physiological principle.
