FLOWPRESSO
A warm hug for your entire nervous system. Flowpresso's FDA-cleared full-body suit combines cyclic compression, far-infrared heat, and deep pressure therapy simultaneously — shifting you out of fight-or-flight and into the parasympathetic state where your body genuinely heals.
Your Body's
Reset Button
Flowpresso is an FDA-cleared, prescription-grade 3-in-1 therapeutic system — the only device of its kind to simultaneously deliver cyclic pneumatic compression, far-infrared heat, and deep pressure therapy through a full-body suit with 22 individual chambers. Developed in New Zealand and used in clinical and wellness settings worldwide, Flowpresso is clinically proven to improve sleep, reduce fatigue, and restore autonomic nervous system balance.
During a 40-minute session, the suit sequentially inflates from feet to arms — each chamber activating before its predecessor deflates, creating a consistent, wave-like pressure that mirrors professional lymphatic massage. Far-infrared heat penetrates 2–3 inches into tissue, warming the body from within. And the deep pressure creates the full-body equivalent of a weighted blanket hug — activating your parasympathetic nervous system and dropping you into genuine rest and restore state.
Three Therapies.
One Session.
What makes Flowpresso unique is simultaneity. All three therapies activate at the same time — compounding each other's effects into an experience no single modality can replicate.
The 22-chamber suit inflates sequentially — each chamber activating before the previous deflates — delivering consistent, progressive pressure from feet to arms. This cyclic compression directly stimulates the lymphatic system, which has no pump of its own and depends on muscular movement to circulate. Flowpresso's compression mechanically moves stagnant lymph fluid, releases trapped metabolites and toxins from tissue, and restores circulatory function to a level that can increase blood circulation up to 400% above baseline.
Unlike surface heat, far-infrared radiation penetrates 2–3 inches through skin and the insulating fat layer — warming the body from within. Applied across all four sections (feet, legs, torso, arms), Flowpresso's far-infrared heat promotes vasodilation and improved circulation, releases toxins through gentle heating, and has been documented since 1989 to promote sleep and modulate the body's circadian rhythm. It embraces the body in healing warmth that allows even chronically stressed systems to finally rest and repair.
Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT) — the same principle behind weighted blankets and compression vests — applies firm, consistent pressure that signals safety to the nervous system. This activates the parasympathetic ("rest and digest") branch, downregulates the sympathetic stress response, and triggers a cascade of healing neurotransmitters: serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin rise while cortisol and adrenaline fall. The result is a profound, full-body calm — the state in which the body completes the cellular repair and immune work it's been deferring for years.
From Fight-or-Flight
to Rest & Restore
Most people today live in a chronic low-grade sympathetic state — elevated cortisol, shallow breathing, suppressed digestion, impaired immune function, and disrupted sleep. Flowpresso's deep pressure directly engages the parasympathetic nervous system, completing the switch that modern life keeps interrupted.
Flowpresso is the only prescription-only, FDA-cleared Class II medical device that combines compression and heat therapy for lymphatic health and autonomic regulation. It is used by licensed healthcare professionals, integrative medicine clinics, sports recovery centers, and longevity-focused wellness facilities worldwide — including Longevity Gyms in Hanover, MD.
Clinical and practitioner reports consistently document improvements in anxiety and stress scores, sleep quality, energy levels, and recovery speed — with many clients noting the effect of a "reset" that persists for days after each session.

Flowpresso is contraindicated for individuals with congestive heart failure (where increased blood flow is detrimental), DVT, pulmonary embolism, arterial occlusive disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or severe arteriosclerosis. The increased circulation from compression can stress compromised cardiovascular systems. Always disclose cardiovascular history before your first session.
Flowpresso should be avoided over areas with acute skin infections, open wounds, or recent skin grafts. The compression suit makes full contact with the body — any compromised skin barrier or active infection in the treatment area is a contraindication. Our team performs a brief health screening before every first session to identify any relevant skin conditions.
Flowpresso actively mobilizes lymph fluid and toxins — making hydration critical. Drink 16–24oz of water before your session, and 1 glass per hour for 6 hours afterward. The body enters an active detoxification mode post-session, and inadequate hydration can cause mild headache or fatigue (similar to any lymphatic drainage therapy). Hydration turns these into non-events.
As an FDA-cleared Class II medical device used in clinical settings worldwide, Flowpresso has a documented excellent safety profile when properly screened. Side effects are similar to manual lymphatic massage — temporary increased urination or bowel movement as toxins clear. Our team at Longevity Gyms is trained in Flowpresso protocols and conducts a thorough review before every new client's first session.
The Research
Behind It
Flowpresso is built on three independently validated therapeutic modalities — each with its own substantial research base. Together they represent decades of clinical evidence in lymphatic medicine, autonomic neuroscience, and thermal therapy.
Landmark study using near-infrared fluorescence lymphatic imaging (NIRFLI) to directly visualize lymph movement in four subjects with lymphedema during pneumatic compression therapy — providing the first visual proof that PCT moves lymph. Documents previous studies showing cost-effectiveness and quality-of-life benefit of pneumatic compression for lymphedema, and confirms lymph is actively mobilized during cyclic compression sessions — the core mechanism of Flowpresso's compression therapy.
Read Full Study→Clinical study measuring heart rate variability (HRV) during deep pressure application — documenting that deep pressure alters HF-HRV and facilitates sympathovagal balance, with LF/HF-HRV revealing balanced sympathovagal activation in response to deep pressure. Confirms that deep pressure therapy shifts the autonomic nervous system toward parasympathetic dominance — the mechanism by which Flowpresso induces its documented relaxation and sleep improvements.
Read Full Study→Single-blind RCT demonstrating that 45-minute lymphatic drainage therapy application produces measurable decreases in H-reflex and increases in Stretch-Load Reflex (SLR) in healthy subjects — indicating activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. Previous studies cited in this work confirm lymph drainage improves parasympathetic nervous system function by increasing LF/HF ratio in participants with psychological stress — directly supporting Flowpresso's stress and anxiety reduction claims.
Read Full Study→2024 study documenting that even 5 minutes of inflatable deep pressure vest application decreases pulse rate (indicating increased parasympathetic activity), with positive links between deep pressure and physiological responses. Confirms that deep pressure exerts a calming effect through decreased sympathetic activity and increased parasympathetic activity, accurately assessed by peripheral pulse response — directly validating Flowpresso's deep pressure component for nervous system regulation.
Read Full Study→Research dating to 1989 documented that when far-infrared was applied to local areas or the entire body it had a sleep-promoting effect on people — one of the earliest documented non-pharmacological sleep interventions. This evidence became a core rationale for incorporating far-infrared into Flowpresso's design. Combined with deep pressure therapy's documented cortisol reduction and melatonin support, Flowpresso provides a clinically supported, multi-pathway approach to sleep restoration.
View Clinical Evidence→Consolidated evidence across multiple peer-reviewed studies confirming that deep pressure stimulation increases serotonin (mood stabilization), dopamine (reward and motivation), and oxytocin (bonding and calm) while simultaneously reducing cortisol (stress hormone) and adrenaline. Grandin's foundational research (1992) established the clinical basis; subsequent RCTs confirmed the mechanism in diverse populations. This hormonal cascade is the biochemical explanation for the profound relaxation Flowpresso clients consistently report.
