Who is Flowpresso® Suitable For?
Flowpresso® is suitable for those looking to reduce stress, improve circulation, and support recovery, however it may not be appropriate for certain medical conditions—please contact Nici at Prime Massage Therapy to discuss your suitability.
Compression therapy
Compression technology was first introduced to medicine to treat a variety of ailments including circulatory conditions. About 25 years ago, compression was adopted for use in sport medicine in an attempt to improve exercise performance and recovery. The cyclic pneumatic compression within Flowpresso® is delivered to different areas of the body, allowing the body to change how it moves, helps encourage flow within the body and assist with releasing toxins from your system.
Thermodynamic therapy
Thermodynamic energy, or heat therapy can help with a variety of health issues. Researchers discovered that when heat was applied to local areas or the whole body, it had a sleep-promoting effect. Flowpresso® utilises thermotherapy in the primary garment sections to embrace the body with a gentle, healing, warmth, creating a comforting environment that allows the body to finally rest and relax. The Flowpresso® warmth and temperature range are designed to encourage relaxation and sleep, promote circulation, and support an improvement in health and wellbeing.

Deep pressure therapy
Deep pressure is generally referred to as a form of tactile sensory input, which is delivered by holding, stroking, hugging, swaddling and squeezing. The technique of Deep Pressure Therapy is often used to calm anxious people – improving their ability to cope. A light touch can be alerting and even agitating to some people, while deep pressure typically has a calming effect on the senses. Flowpresso® applies deep pressure – similar to a hug – to the whole body through each individual chamber, generating a profoundly relaxing effect, allowing the body to calm and release the daily stress of life.
Flowpresso® treatments are available at Prime Massage Therapy in West Auckland, serving clients across Auckland including Titirangi, Glen Eden, New Lynn, Oratia and surrounding suburbs.
