Pressotherapy (30min)

Pressotherapy is a device-based compression treatment that uses inflatable chambers in specialised leg cuffs (and optionally abdominal and arm sleeves) to apply sequential, wave-like pressure from the feet upward toward the torso. The controlled inflation and deflation cycle mimics the body's natural muscle-pump mechanism, driving lymphatic fluid and venous blood back toward the heart more efficiently than passive rest alone.

At Andrii Kondakov's studio, the 30-minute pressotherapy session uses a multi-chamber pneumatic device that wraps around both legs. The chambers inflate sequentially from the feet to the upper thighs, creating a peristaltic compression wave that propels fluid centrally. Pressure levels are calibrated to the client's comfort and clinical needs — typically between 30 and 80 mmHg. The treatment is entirely passive: the client lies comfortably while the…

Pressotherapy is used by athletes as a recovery accelerator — the mechanical compression clears metabolic waste products (lactate, creatine kinase, inflammatory mediators) from exercised muscles faster than rest alone. Professional cycling teams, marathon runners, and CrossFit athletes commonly use pressotherapy between training sessions or competition stages. Beyond sport, the treatment is effective for chronic venous insufficiency, lymphoedema…
