Pressotherapy is a mechanical drainage technique that activates venous and lymphatic return circulation by massaging and decompressing compartmentalized accessories. This is a method of stimulating the lymphatic system devised by physiotherapist Dr. Emil Vodder in the 1930s.<\/p>\n

The Pressoth\u00e9rapie Eureduc TP07i, consisting of a casing and massage elements (boots or sleeves), enhances the effect of manual drainage performed by your physiotherapists at Bascharage<\/a>. High-performance, robust and reliable, it is a must-have in the management of veno-lymphatic disorders.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Pressotherapy enjoys a strong medical consensus for the treatment of edema of venous and lymphatic origin, as well as symptoms of venous insufficiency, as a complement to manual drainage techniques and compression (for heavy pathologies).<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Big arms, lymphedema, venous insufficiency… these are just some of the pathologies that lead patients to consult a specialist to find relief and regain a better quality of life.<\/p>\n

In addition to manual drainage<\/strong>, Pressotherapy completes the in-office session by maximizing the benefits of drainage.<\/p>\n

\n

1 in 3 people in France suffers from venous insufficiency (1)<\/p>\n

+ More than 100,000 new cases of lymphedema per year in France (2)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Your physiotherapists in Bascharage<\/a> use the Eureduc\u00ae TP07i model, a 7-chamber pressotherapy device controlled by a touch screen. It boasts unrivalled efficiency thanks to its automatic double pressure gradient, and is used by leading lymphology reference centers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n

“Pressotherapy is recommended to bring symptomatic relief to patients suffering from chronic venous insufficiency (C3-C6) if standard methods are not indicated or have remained ineffective.”<\/p>\n

“Pressotherapy should be considered for patients with venous ulcers after 6 months of treatment in the absence of results with standard methods.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dual pressure gradient technology<\/p><\/h1><\/span>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Patented automatic dual pressure gradient technology synchronizes the distal-proximal pressure wave and the tapering gradient, with moderate working pressure and limited treatment time.<\/p>\n

This unique technology, combined with the specific design of the massage accessories, guarantees efficient treatment. Drainage is always well directed, avoiding any risk of retrograde effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>
