Vacuum therapy implies the therapeutic use of air for local treatment. In this case, a certain pressure is observed, which must necessarily be several times lower than atmospheric. This method of therapy is often called can massage, endomassage or decompression.
What is the essence of such a massage?
Vacuum therapy was widely used by oriental healers who used can massage to effectively influence biologically active points in the human body. At all times, this technique has shown excellent results. Vacuum treatment can be used to prevent spinal diseases, which are very common these days.
Modern progress every day leads to the fact that people have reduced physical work to a minimum and began to move a little. As a result, a person is faced with constant diseases, metabolic disorders, as well as poor blood circulation. That is why the vacuum therapy apparatus is becoming a unique tool that can directly affect the microcirculation of blood. Also, cans can be used for treatment to create the necessary vacuum for drawing in the skin and soft tissues.
Benefits of Vacuum Therapy
Vacuum massage is carried out using a professional apparatus or special medical cans. They must be placed in random order throughout the back to enhance the expected effect. The doctor or specialist who is carrying out the procedure should select only the active points on the body. Thus, it is possible to quickly and effectively relieve nervous tension, fatigue after hard physical work, as well as take care of the health of the body.
Vacuum therapy enhances the flow of fluid to the skin from deep tissues. For this reason, red spots and bruises can form on the skin of a person. But this is an absolutely harmless and normal phenomenon, which should not be considered a complication. Within a few hours or days, all redness will disappear.
Using this method, the blood vessels of the internal organs are stimulated. At the place where the cans were delivered, enzymes are formed - biologically active substances. They are able to quickly activate internal metabolism and recovery processes. As a result of the regular use of such massage, you can notice a significant rejuvenation and renewal of tissues.

Often the vacuum helped get rid of dermatosis, urticaria, and also neurodermatitis.
What is vacuum gradient therapy?
This method is similar to vacuum banks and apparatus, but there is one difference. Vacuum gradient therapy creates double pressure drops. A vertical gradient is created when tissue is drawn directly into the jar, and horizontal is the occurrence of pressure between containers that have a different neck diameter.
When a doctor uses this method for treatment, he receives a different degree of rarefaction of air in order to effectively work out the deeper layers of tissue. Thus, all the necessary active substances in the blood and cells will be involved. It is they who will be sent to the quick self-healing of the body. Vacuum gradient therapy is carried out in two ways:
- Banks can be moved along the main massage areas. The skin must be preheated with a classic manual massage.
- Vacuum cans can be rearranged from one place to another. This massage method will most effectively deal with obesity and cellulite on the body.
Features and benefits of interval vacuum therapy
To restore strength and relax after hard work, you can use the interval therapy apparatus. During the procedure, the person should be exclusively in a horizontal position. The lower limbs and part of the body will be located in a special cylindrical chamber. In this case, the total chamber space is sealed at the waist level. Thanks to the powerful vacuum pump in this space, optimal conditions for rarefaction of air will be created. After that, the device will cyclically alternate the phases of normal and negative pressure.
Interval vacuum therapy is contraindicated in people who have open, infected ulcers, hernia in the acute stages, cancer, kidney failure, pregnancy and acute thrombophlebitis. Today, this method is widely used in the field of space medicine, for the rehabilitation of patients, athletes, as well as for the treatment and restoration of blood vessels.
The use of magnetic vacuum therapy
Thanks to the continuous development of progress, vacuum technologies are being improved and expanded. Today, magnetic vacuum therapy, which is considered a progressive treatment, is in great demand. Using a special apparatus, you can achieve the most effective effect on the metabolism of cells in the human body. The treatment process takes place exclusively at the cellular level and will help many patients get rid of the most severe forms of the disease.
