ATTIRE
The suit has tubes on it that are hooked up to a computerized air pressure machine that provides the correct amount of pressure to the patient’s body.
PRESSURE
During treatment, the patient will feel pressure during the process, but should not experience any pain.
FREQUENCY
A typical session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, and may be done as frequently as twice a week.
WATER MOVEMENT
After treatment, patients may feel light and have an urge to urinate, likely due to the movement of water in the body.
RESULTS
Many patients experience relief after one session. Some need 3-6 treatments spaced about a month apart.
