Your lymphatic system is one of the most important — and most overlooked — systems in your body. Unlike your circulatory system, which has the heart to pump blood, your lymphatic system has no pump of its own. It relies entirely on movement, breathing, and muscle contractions to keep fluid flowing. When it slows down, you feel it: puffiness, fatigue, sluggish digestion, brain fog, and that heavy, swollen feeling that just won't go away.
The Ballancer Pro is a medical-grade compression therapy system that uses a series of overlapping air chambers to gently squeeze and release your body from the feet upward — mimicking the natural rhythm of lymphatic flow. It's not just compression. It's a precisely sequenced wave of pressure that moves lymphatic fluid through your system the way it was designed to move — from the extremities toward the core, where it can be filtered and eliminated.
Elite athletes have used lymphatic compression for decades to accelerate recovery, reduce muscle soreness, and flush the metabolic waste that builds up during intense training. But you don't have to be an athlete to benefit. Anyone who sits for long periods, travels frequently, struggles with swelling or water retention, or simply wants to feel less heavy and more energized will notice a difference — often in the very first session.
The session itself is completely passive and deeply relaxing. You lie down, the garment inflates and deflates in a slow, rhythmic sequence, and you simply let it work. Most people describe it as "the most relaxing thing I've ever done" — and then notice they feel noticeably lighter and less puffy when they stand up. That's not a placebo. That's your lymphatic system doing its job.
At The Body Shop Spa, Presso sessions are included in our $99/month Exterior Membership (2 sessions per month) — or you can book a single session at $50. It pairs exceptionally well with infrared sauna, red light therapy, and the Superhuman Protocol.

A healthy lymphatic system is essential for immune surveillance and response.
Improves circulation
The compression wave stimulates blood flow alongside lymphatic drainage.

The Process
How It Works
Step 1
Suit Up
You'll put on the Ballancer Pro garment — a full-length compression suit that covers your legs, hips, and abdomen.
Step 2
Lie Back
Lie down on the treatment table. The session is completely passive — you don't move, you don't exercise. You just relax.
Step 3
The Wave Begins
The system inflates and deflates in a slow, overlapping sequence — starting at the feet and moving upward, guiding lymphatic fluid toward your core.
Step 4
Feel the Difference
Most clients notice reduced puffiness and a lighter feeling immediately after the session. The effects compound with regular use.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it feel like?
It feels like a very gentle, rhythmic squeeze-and-release starting at your feet and moving upward. Most people find it deeply relaxing — many fall asleep. It is not painful or uncomfortable in any way.
How soon will I notice results?
Most clients notice a difference immediately — reduced puffiness, lighter legs, and a general sense of feeling less 'heavy.' The effects are cumulative, so regular sessions produce more lasting results.
How is this different from regular compression boots?
The Ballancer Pro uses a more sophisticated overlapping chamber design than standard compression boots. It creates a true peristaltic wave — the same movement pattern your lymphatic vessels use naturally — rather than just squeezing the whole limb at once. This makes it significantly more effective at moving lymphatic fluid.
Is it included in the membership?
Yes — our $99/month Exterior Membership includes 2 Presso sessions per month. Additional sessions can be added at the single-session rate.
Can I do it the same day as infrared sauna?
Absolutely — and we encourage it. Infrared sauna opens your pores and mobilizes toxins stored in fat tissue. Following it with a Presso session helps flush that mobilized waste through your lymphatic system more efficiently. It's one of our most popular combinations.
