The lymphatic system  plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy fluid balance in the body. An ongoing flow of lymphatic fluid promotes good health, but when a person neglects the basics of good health - exercise, rest and proper diet - the body becomes stressed and the lymphatic system is burdened. This causes toxins and plasma to accumulate, interfering with cell nourishment. The immune system becomes depressed and the body's vulnerability to disease increases.

As a general rule, lymphatic drainage is done in a manual way through a massage that lasts approximately one hour. Now, there are devices reproducing the work of hands, an example of which is presso- therapy.

Pressotherapy is applied through the use of special boots or pressure cuffs that go from the pelvis to the ankles, which exert an ascending and descending pressure throughout the extremities. There is another attachement for the abdominal area. With a smooth pumping, pressotherapy increases lymph flow up to 3 times, releasing toxins which also improves blood circulation.
