Pressotherapy for the abdomen: what it does and what it is for

As you should know, every day more athletes, both amateurs and professionals, use Pressotherapy as the ideal complement for their recovery and maintenance routines; they use pressotherapy for a strong and toned abdomen. But it is not only they who are enjoying the benefits of Pressotherapy; many people in general are adopting Pressotherapy as another indispensable household appliance.

Because getting in shape, losing weight, and having a flatter belly is a desire linked throughout our lives to the idea of feeling good, liking ourselves and being liked, and of course, besides having a good outward physical appearance, the inner physical condition is also essential. Remember that Pressotherapy is applied from the outside, but it affects you inside and you will see those effects externally, in firmer and toned skin and muscles. How we look on the outside is also a reflection of our health condition.

Let us remember that Pressotherapy is a medical-aesthetic treatment that facilitates lymphatic drainage in various parts of the body through a rhythmic sequence of pressure, alternating pressure and decompression. As we have explained in other articles, pressure waves help drain toxins, fats, and unwanted fluids that accumulate in our tissues, causing discomfort not only physical but also visual.

Who wants to look bloated and have to resort to loose clothing just to hide the “love handles,” right? Applied to the abdomen, Pressotherapy is beneficial in many ways. But let’s be clear and not deceive ourselves: Although it is a great ally, Pressotherapy alone will not eliminate your belly, especially not in four sessions. From SIZEN, we want to help you achieve your goals, but always from a realistic and responsible point of view.

What is abdominal pressotherapy?

Abdominal pressotherapy is a type of therapy that can help reduce swelling, pain, and other symptoms in the abdomen. It consists of applying pressure on the abdomen through an inflatable garment. The pressure helps squeeze excess fluids from the tissues and move them into the lymphatic system, where they can be filtered and eliminated by the body. As a result, abdominal pressotherapy can help relieve swelling, discomfort, and other symptoms caused by fluid retention. Additionally, it can also help improve circulation in the area and promote healing. In general, abdominal pressotherapy is a non-invasive and effective way to reduce abdominal symptoms and improve overall health.

The perfect trio: Pressotherapy + exercise + diet

Does Pressotherapy work on the abdomen then? Yes, but in a balanced equation where physical exercise and diet also go hand in hand. That is, Pressotherapy alone will not remove all your belly fat. Let’s be clear with an easy-to-understand example: If you exercise but after training you binge on sweets and fats, you will hardly glimpse a better physical shape.

And if you follow a very balanced diet, vegetarian or even fully plant-based, but your life is sedentary and you do not exercise your body at all, you will not improve your figure either. Even in this case, you will accumulate some fat in your abdomen. Also, there are hormonal factors that affect this to some extent. We will talk about this soon on our blog. Therefore, the combination of a diet as light as possible—without giving up all the nutrients you need daily—regular practice of some sport or physical exercise, and the maintenance that Pressotherapy offers you, will be the perfect solution to keep abdominal fat in check.

Of course, staying in shape and having a healthy belly both inside and out also require consistency. Pressotherapy should be a treatment that is part of your life routine. That is why the time you dedicate to your treatment is as important for your body as any other practice related to well-being.

Take this time with the same dedication and care that you give to that time with your friends, or your favorite hobby, or your intimate moments with your partner. Life is about trying to maintain a certain balance, because that and nothing else is the key to well-being and happiness.

When it is deficient, it can cause much of the swelling, and we must not confuse fat with swelling or accumulated fluids, although often it is a mix of all these that ends up showing externally. It also helps combat varicose veins that can also appear on the abdomen. Greater elasticity, oxygenation of tissues, and muscle firmness are also effects that Pressotherapy can enhance in your abdomen.
