There should be a minimum of four days between sessions. 

This will depend on the person and their goal(s) for the FLOWpresso sessions.  Athletes please allow a minimum of 6 weekly sessions for your initial series.  For stress relief, sleep support and other wellness goals, a series of 3-6 sessions is ideal to start.  After the initial series, it is recommended to enjoy a weekly, biweekly or monthly session for maintaining optimal wellness state. For others who are training for competitions, regular FlowPresso sessions can assist your recovery and performance.

This therapy encourages flow through your body by fostering a deep sense of tranquility.

Depending on your response or reaction, it is strongly encouraged that you:

1. supplement with binders and drainage support;
