How pressotherapy works
The equipment wraps around the legs and abdomen and has several air chambers. The chambers inflate and deflate in sequence, from the bottom up, and that wave of pressure follows the direction of lymphatic flow.
At Hippie Chic pressotherapy is done with the Ballancer system. The pressure is set for you and can be adjusted during the session.
An hour lying down
A session lasts about 60 minutes and you spend it lying down. It feels like a firm, rhythmic massage; many people use the time to rest.
It can be booked as a single session or as part of a body treatment plan, agreed with you at the free consultation.
