What is the Full Lymphatic Drainage?
Advanced Lymphatic Detox Therapy (also called pressotherapy or pneumatic compression therapy) is a mechanical form of lymphatic drainage massage. During the session, the individual wears a full body garment (Upper and lower body) that applies pressure gradually using compressed air. Usually, these are leg sleeves/boots or arm sleeves, where pressure is applied in a gentle swirling, pulsating, rhythmic manner.
Compression therapy is utilized for lymphatic drainage and supporting the flow of the lymph fluid, which, unlike blood, does not have a “pump” (like the heart!) to circulate it around in the body. The mechanical system inflates and deflates intermittently to mimic natural blood flow, stimulating both flood flow and lymph fluid flow (and drainage).

How Does It Work?
A lymphatic massage compression suit works by applying controlled, rhythmic pressure to different areas of the body, stimulating the lymphatic system. The suit is equipped with multiple air chambers that inflate and deflate in a sequence, mimicking the gentle, wave-like motion of manual lymphatic drainage. This process helps to:
​
Stimulate Lymph Flow: Encourages the movement of lymph fluid, which carries waste and toxins away from tissues.
​
Reduce Swelling: Helps alleviate fluid retention and improve circulation.
​
Enhance Detoxification: Promotes the elimination of metabolic waste and toxins from the body.
​
Support Recovery: Reduces muscle soreness and inflammation after physical activity.
​
Relax Muscles: Provides a soothing, massaging effect that relaxes tense muscles.
​
The treatment is non-invasive, and sessions typically last 20–45 minutes, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.

What is the Lymphatic Sytem?
Your body has approximately 600 lymph nodes (not just in your neck!), which are small glands that cleanse the lymph fluid as it filters through them. Inside the lymph nodes are white blood cells called lymphocytes, which are basically your body’s defense system. These cells include natural killer cells, B cells, and T-cells, all of which work together to make antibodies, control your immune response, and kill tumorous, viral, and bacterial cells (aka: the bad guys).
​
These glands are connected to the rest of the lymphatic system, which is essentially the waste management of your body - it’s a network of tissues, vessels, and organs that collects excess fluids that drains from cells and tissue, filters out damaged, cancerous, and other trouble-making cells, then returns the “filtered” fluid back to the bloodstream to recirculate.
​
But where the blood has the heart to pump it up and down the body, the lymphatic system has no “pump” other than you. The lymphatic system needs to be circulated just as much as the blood - and requires stimulation via physical movement (such as exercise) or manual (or mechanical) lymphatic simulation. Exercise doesn’t always cover all the movement, though - most exercise, other than yoga, doesn’t incorporate inversions, which effectively moves the lymph fluid upward -- and why we recommend lymphatic drainage through compression therapy. This is why we love the BallancerPro so much!
What Can I Expect During A Lymphatic Drainage Session?
Your Lymphatic Drainage Compression Suit session is comfortable and fully automated. You’ll wear the compression suit, which wraps around your legs, arms, and/or torso, depending on your treatment area.
​
The system will then inflate and deflate in gentle, rhythmic waves, applying pressure to stimulate lymph flow and circulation. Most sessions last 20 to 60 minutes, allowing you to relax, read, or meditate while the suit does all the work.
​
After the session, you may feel lighter, less bloated, and more energized, with many people experiencing immediate relief from swelling and fluid retention.
