Pressotherapy is a type of non-invasive massage - external application - that enhances lymphatic drainage (curiosity about presotherapy). It can be done manually or with a machine, although currently the second option is the most popular around the world, given the ease, comfort and effectiveness of modern equipment.
Pressotherapy works through a device, console or machine, whatever you prefer to call this device, which is connected with tubes to padded garments. This machine drives air into independent chambers that, in contact with the skin, exert a certain force through pressure and decompression, sequentially and alternately.
At a certain moment in the session and according to the program you have selected, all the chambers are filled and emptied simultaneously. This provides a pleasant and painless massage capable of stimulating the circulation of the lymphatic system. Closely linked to the circulatory system, it also experiences a reactivation of blood flow.

MISHA SEKULOVA: MTB Champion and Ambassador of SIZEN
Misha Sekulova She is a young and pretty mom who regularly competes professionally in MTB – Mountain Bike – races and holds the title of champion in the XCUM specialty. We are talking about a particularly tough branch of cycling, so subjecting your body, and especially your legs, to the exhaustive workouts that this sport requires, pressotherapy boots are now a regular part of your routine. Something almost as important as his bike.
Thanks to sports pressotherapy, he achieves a faster recovery, while at the same time maintaining good lymphatic health that can be seen and noticed both in his muscles and in his skin.
Recently, he has shared a post on his Instagram that has filled us with immense satisfaction. And it is that in it he tells us about his experience with the presotherapy SIZEN. The weather being a key factor in his training, because the weather is not always good, sometimes he has no choice but to park his bike and stay at home.
But this does not mean that he abandons his physical care, far from it! And what better than having a good session of home pressotherapy? As an ambassador and representative of our brand, she uses her presotherapy boots frequently to keep fluid retention at bay and a lymphatic system in perfect condition.

A great example for other women, even for non-athletes, who want to keep beautiful and toned legs.
But if you are an athlete, either professionally or as an amateur, and you are wondering if you could use pressotherapy before a race, the answer is yes, although it makes more sense to use it after physical effort since the massage fulfills the function of helping that your muscles recover sooner. That is why it is frequently used after competing or at the end of an intense workout. However, if you get nervous before competing, a massage would also not go amiss a few hours before the challenge, to relax your body and mind.
This is really up to you. It all depends on how you want to manage your stress. Before a competition, it is normal for adrenaline and hormones such as testosterone or cortisol, among others, to flow through your veins. Something inevitable and that can suit you more or less well, depending on how you know how to manage that increase in your stress. What most athletes usually think, yes, is that presotherapy just before a race is not the most logical as its relaxing effect could affect performance.
The night before the competition? Perfect. Letting yourself go with the draining massage while listening to some chill-out music can be a great therapy to calm that rush of stress before competing.
