Can pressotherapy make your exercise effort go further?
Combining exercise with pressotherapy for topical fat loss and cellulite reduction
Vigorous exercise (such as running, interval running, cycling/spinning, fast swimming etc.) provides the most potent lipolytic (fat releasing) stimulus in the body. This stimulus is much stronger than any drug could ever provide. And contrary to drugs exercise is good for you and free of side-effects.
However, the fat release stimulus of exercise is applied on the whole body. You cannot reduce fat on a specific area by exercising the adjacent muscles. Even worse, areas that suffer from poor lymph drainage (such as the cellulite tissues) actually benefit less from the lipolytic effects of exercise than circulation-rich tissues.
That's where pressotherapy comes into play. Pressotherapy significantly enhances lymphatic drainage and expedites the removal of fat released from fat cells away from the cellulite tissues and into the general circulation, where they can be burned for energy by the muscles.
The synergy is obvious: exercise stimulates fat release from the fat cells, pressotherapy makes sure this fat is taken away from the fat cells and into the muscles, and then the muscles burn this fat for energy. Not bad!
It would be perfect if you were able to run and have pressotherapy at the same time, but as this is impossible, you can compromise by having a pressotherapy session before or after exercise. Perfectionists can have treatment both before and after!
