Lymphatic drainage with Therabody®

Discover a modern approach to recovery with lymphatic drainage with Therabody® in Sofia. The session uses a specialised pneumatic compression system that applies sequential, controlled pressure to specific areas of the body.

The treatment is suitable for consideration by active people, those who exercise regularly and clients looking for a comfortable session as part of their recovery routine.

What is lymphatic drainage with Therabody®?

The session uses specialised Therabody® equipment that applies controlled pneumatic compression, gently squeezing and releasing the treated areas in sequence.

Unlike manual lymphatic drainage, where a therapist performs the techniques by hand, this treatment uses a specialised device to deliver compression.

The pressure and programme are selected to suit the session and your individual comfort.

How does pneumatic compression work?

Special compression sleeves are placed around the relevant areas of the body. Their separate chambers fill with air in sequence to create controlled compression.

This produces a rhythmic sensation of squeezing and releasing.

The session should not cause pain. The intensity should be adjusted to suit your individual comfort.

Who might this treatment be suitable for?

Lymphatic drainage with Therabody® may appeal to people who:

• exercise regularly;
• lead physically active lives;
• are looking for an addition to their recovery routine;
• prefer a device-based compression treatment;
• want to take time to rest after physical activity.

If you have a medical concern or a specific health condition, discuss the appropriate type of treatment with a healthcare professional.

Therabody® after a workout

Pneumatic compression is also popular among people who exercise regularly as part of their post-workout routine.

After exercise, your body primarily needs adequate rest, sleep, nutrition and hydration. A Therabody® session can complement these essential elements of recovery.

If you train regularly, let your therapist know when you last exercised and which areas of your body worked the hardest.

Therabody® or manual lymphatic drainage?

These are different treatments and should not be regarded as interchangeable.

During manual lymphatic drainage, a therapist performs specialised movements by hand.

A Therabody® session uses device-based pneumatic compression with chambers that inflate in sequence.

The choice depends on your reason for visiting, personal preferences and individual condition.

Therabody® or sports recovery massage?

During sports recovery massage, a therapist works manually on specific muscle groups according to your physical activity.

Therabody® works through controlled pneumatic compression.

The two treatments may play different roles in an active person’s recovery routine.

What happens during the session?

Before the session begins, suitability is discussed, along with the areas to be treated.

Once the compression sleeves are in place, an appropriate programme is selected and sequential compression begins.

You can relax while the system operates automatically.

If the pressure causes discomfort, let your therapist know.

How long does a session last?

Sessions are available for 30 or 60 minutes.

Choose your preferred duration when booking your appointment.

When might the treatment be unsuitable?

Pneumatic compression is not suitable for everyone.

If you have suspected or diagnosed thrombosis, certain vascular or heart conditions, an active infection, unexplained swelling, recent surgery or another significant medical condition, seek medical advice first.

If you are considering the treatment for a specific illness or following a medical procedure, follow the recommendations of your treating healthcare professional.
