Pressotherapy During Pregnancy: Is It Safe?

Pressotherapy during pregnancy should only be considered with explicit approval from an obstetrician or midwife. Guidance varies by trimester and individual health status, while abdominal and pelvic compression is generally avoided. Pregnancy complications involving blood pressure, circulation, clotting, or fetal health may also make treatment inappropriate. For swelling or heavy legs during pregnancy, medical assessment should always come before booking or using pressotherapy.

Pressotherapy for Athletes: Recovery and Performance Benefits

Pressotherapy for athletic recovery is best supported as a tool for reducing post-exercise muscle soreness rather than directly improving athletic performance. Research shows meaningful soreness relief after intense exercise, while measures such as jump performance and muscle-damage biomarkers have not shown consistent improvement. Short post-workout sessions can therefore be useful as part of a broader recovery routine alongside rest, nutrition, hydration, and appropriate training-load management.

Infrared Sauna Blankets for Lymphatic Drainage: Do They Really Help?

Infrared heat and lymphatic function are connected primarily through heat-induced vasodilation and improved circulation. Research, particularly in people with lymphedema, suggests controlled heat may help reduce fluid buildup, although these findings should not be directly generalized to healthy users. For general wellness, infrared heat may support circulation and mild fluid movement, but it should not be marketed as a detox treatment or a substitute for medical care for diagnosed lymphatic conditions.
