Air Massage
This is a massage system similar to the 'Flowtron' used in hospitals. By using pockets inflated and deflated with air the area is massaged. Some people prefer this to being touched (although an aromatherapy massage is offered after the treatment with appropriate oils) others enjoy it as an addition. The therapy gives pressure to the vein, thus promoting the circulation of blood and body fluids. The lymph secretion is increased and the metabolism raised. The benefits continue for another 60 to 90 minutes after treatment has ended.

Other areas may be possible.Treatment takes approximately an hour, however you need to put aside 1 ½ hours for setting up etc. I will offer to measure the circumference at various points of legs/feet before an after, as sometimes it is very easy to see the difference, at other times not as much.
