Sports and recovery
Negative pressure therapy supports athlete recovery and performance
Fast recovery after performance, effective muscle care and full readiness for the next challenge. Negative pressure is used in professional leagues and elite sport internationally, and the portable device travels wherever the athlete is.
Applications of negative pressure in sport
Recovery after performance
Boosts fluid circulation and speeds up recovery after hard exertion.
Muscle care and maintenance
Keeps muscles supple and supports readiness for the next performance.
Sports injury swelling
Helps manage swelling and fluid build-up around the injured area.
Fascia and mobility
Treats tight fascia and restores mobility to restricted areas.
Performance support before competing
Prepares the tissue and supports circulation before a competition or training.
Easing pain and tightness
Calms tightness and painful areas caused by exertion.
How negative pressure supports the athlete
Hard exertion leaves waste products and swelling in the muscles, slowing down recovery. Negative pressure lifts the tissue and boosts fluid circulation, helping the body recover faster and keeping the muscles ready for the next challenge.
Effective work, less strain on your hands
Negative pressure does the heaviest part of the treatment for you. You can work on large muscle groups and deeper tissue layers without straining your hands, so you last longer and treat more athletes in a day.

The negative pressure is gentle and easy to adjust, so LymphaTouch is often the best way to start treating especially painful, superficial fascia. The treatment also works well as recovery care for athletes.
LymphaTouch negative pressure therapy has been an effective treatment method right after the acute inflammation phase through to the end of rehabilitation, for pain relief, reducing swelling and injury recovery.
Clear signs of progress showed about a week after starting treatment, when the swelling and tightness in my lower leg reduced significantly. The treatment was comfortable and pain-free from the start, and it sped up my rehabilitation.
LymphaTouch is one of the best negative pressure devices on the market thanks to its portability and durability, exactly what football needs. It's a great addition to hands-on treatment, letting you reach a deeper level than with hands alone.
It is perfect for acute injury recovery by facilitating lymphatic decompression.
I love that I can just put it in my car and go!
