Your lymphatic system is your built-in detox system, working to keep you healthy by removing toxins, reducing swelling, and supporting your immune system. Lymph fluid (or ‘lymph’) sweeps your body, picking up debris and waste products from your tissues and taking it away for removal.

Lymph enters tissues from small blood vessels, collects waste, and then returns to the lymphatic system. Along the way, it passes through small organs called lymph nodes, found in places like the neck, armpits, and groin. Lymph then drains from the nodes into ducts, which allow it to combine with blood so it can be filtered out by the kidneys and liver.

By keeping your lymphatic system flowing smoothly, you help your body stay healthy.

What Is Lymphatic Drainage?

When your lymphatic system is not working properly, it can cause swelling because the fluid backs up in your tissues making you feel bloated or puffy. A slowed or irregular lymphatic system can also cause waste products to build up in your tissues, causing inflammation and throwing your body out of whack.

When lymphatic fluid stagnates in your body, it can cause tenderness, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, headaches, skin issues, and more.

Manual lymphatic drainage helps move fluid from your tissues to your lymph nodes, where it can be carried away.

Benefits Of Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage is great for your whole body, helping you flush out toxins so you can look and feel your best. Lymphatic drainage can:

  • Reduce bloating by moving excess fluid through the lymphatic system which helps to relieve puffiness and water retention.
  • Promote smoother, firmer-looking skin by promoting circulation and reducing fluid buildup in tissues. 
  • Support your body’s in-built detoxification process by helping to decongest and regulate the lymphatic system.‍
  • Contribute to a high-functioning immune system by stimulating blood and lymph flow which helps to nourish tissues and support natural immunity. 

What Is A Lymphatic Drainage Massage?

A lymphatic drainage massage is typically done by a massage therapist. They use light touch and sweeping motions to press lymph and inflammation out of tissues, directing them toward the lymph nodes to be removed.

What Is Pressotherapy?

Pressotherapy works by using a specialized compression suit with air chambers that inflate and deflate in a wave-like pattern. The suit provides light 360 degree pressure as it sweeps fluid from your tissues towards your lymph nodes for drainage via the liver and kidneys. 

How The Ballancer®Pro Works

This advanced two-piece suit delivers 360-degree treatment, applying equal pressure to every inch of skin for optimal results. With at least two chambers inflated at any given time, it keeps the lymph moving in one direction, ensuring a relaxing and detoxifying massage.

Before your session, you’ll get changed into the suit and lay on a treatment bed for 40-60 minutes, depending on if you select a lower body or full body treatment. Just lay back and relax as the Ballancer Pro applies and maintains optimal pressure, efficiently directing lymphatic fluid toward the lymph nodes.

Pressotherapy vs. Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Both pressotherapy and lymphatic drainage massages are effective for getting your lymphatic system moving and assisting your body’s natural detoxification process. Though the methods are similar, the Ballancer Pro provides the same treatment in less time, because unlike manual lymphatic massage—where a therapist typically works on one side of the body at a time—pressotherapy treats both sides simultaneously with a constant, more uniform pressure, faster.
