What to expect during the treatment

You lie comfortably on a couch in a special suit made of inflatable segments with air chambers that work like a blood-pressure cuff. The chambers inflate and deflate in a set order; the rhythmic alternation of pressure and release boosts circulation, speeds up metabolism and stimulates the lymphatic system.
