Up to 6 Phyto-Barrel Sessions with Pressotherapy and Massage at the Respine Medical Center

At the Respine center you can undergo a thermotherapy session, thereby receiving healing and relaxing effects. The therapeutic effect is achieved using hot steam affecting the patient's body, which is conveniently placed in a sealed wooden container. The head is located outside, which avoids stress on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. The water vapor in the barrel contains herbal medicines. Hence another name for the procedure – phytobarrel. High temperature opens the pores of the skin, due to which the therapeutic steam has an effect on the body. Thus, the procedure optimally combines the effects of physiotherapy with herbal medicine. The material from which the phyto-barrel is made is alder. This provides an additional healing effect with phytocides - natural bioactive substances that have an antibacterial effect.

Due to the procedure, you can improve the metabolism, condition and tone of the skin, remove excess fluid and impurities, as well as get incredible pleasure, a charge of energy, relaxation and a great mood.

Pressotherapy is a pneumocompression massage performed with the help of increased pressure. The procedure is effective for fighting edema, improving blood circulation and stimulating the work of the lymphatic system.
The essence of pressotherapy is to place certain parts of the body (most often the abdomen, pelvis and legs) under high external pressure. This pressure is created by a special suit that is filled with air. The result of such an effect is the displacement of excess fluid from the intercellular space into the lymphatic and blood vessels.

Cosmetic indications for pressotherapy include:

• The need for figure correction in the area of hips, legs and buttocks.
• Fighting cellulite.
• Volume reduction due to the elimination of tissue swelling.
• In addition, pressotherapy of the abdomen and legs is important for weight loss as an effective method of overcoming the "plateau" (a period of stagnation in weight loss). Often, it is this procedure that gives the necessary impetus for further progress in a comprehensive weight loss program.

This technique also has medical indications. Thus, pneumocompression therapy will be useful for:

• Recovery from varicose veins.
• Relief of fatigue and tension in the leg muscles after prolonged wearing of high-heeled shoes or intense physical exertion associated with walking, running or cycling.
• Rehabilitation of patients after injuries and operations accompanied by pronounced tissue edema.

Contraindication:

• Pathologies of the cardiovascular system.
• Endocrine diseases.
• Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and liver.
• Menstruation.
• For expectant women and the period of breastfeeding.
• With varicose veins of the lower extremities, pressotherapy as a lymphatic drainage massage should be used with caution. Specialists of the Respine center decide on the possibility of its use individually for each patient.
