Lymphatic Drainage
Helps reduce fluid retention, swelling, and heaviness by promoting efficient lymphatic movement.

FloPresso®️ Compression & Lymphatic Therapy
A deeply restorative, full-body compression system designed to support lymphatic flow, circulation, and parasympathetic calm—integrated into curated recovery and longevity programs at the Institute for Human Optimization.

What Is FloPresso®️ Compression & Lymphatic Therapy?
FloPresso®️ is a full-body compression and lymphatic therapy system designed to support circulation, fluid movement, and deep parasympathetic relaxation. Using a sequence of rhythmic compression, heat, and zoned pressure, FloPresso gently encourages lymphatic flow while creating a calm, grounded state in the nervous system.
Unlike basic compression boots or single-limb devices, FloPresso®️ provides a head-to-toe session in a tailored suit that targets multiple regions at once. At the Institute for Human Optimization, FloPresso is integrated into longevity, recovery, and performance programs to complement metabolic, regenerative, and nervous-system focused care.
Lymphatic Flow • Compression Sequence
How FloPresso®️ Works
FloPresso®️ uses a structured sequence of zoned compression, gentle warmth, and rhythmic pressure changes to encourage lymphatic flow, circulation, and nervous system balance. Each session is designed to feel deeply restorative while quietly supporting your body’s own fluid and recovery pathways.
At the Institute for Human Optimization, FloPresso is delivered in three core phases:
1. Zoned Compression & Gentle Envelopment
You’re comfortably positioned and fitted into the FloPresso®️ suit, which envelops the body in individual zones. These zones can be activated in sequence to apply precise, wave-like compression from the lower extremities upward, encouraging the movement of lymph and interstitial fluid.
2. Rhythmic Flow & Circulatory Support
The system then runs through programmed cycles of compression and release, promoting lymphatic drainage, supporting venous return, and gently mobilizing fluid. This flow-focused sequence helps the body clear stagnation and may support a sense of “lightness” and improved recovery over time.
3. Parasympathetic Reset & Deep Relaxation
As the rhythm continues, many clients experience a shift into a deeply relaxed, parasympathetic state. The combination of steady pressure, warmth, and quiet environment can help downshift stress responses while the body’s own fluid and repair systems are supported in the background.

Session Experience • What to Expect
What to Expect During a FloPresso®️ Session
FloPresso®️ is a deeply restorative, sequential-compression experience designed to support lymphatic flow, relaxation, and autonomic balance. Sessions take place in a controlled, medical environment with clear preparation and safety protocols. You simply lie comfortably while the suit cycles through its therapeutic sequences.
-
01. Arrival & Brief Check-In
We review your health status, medications, and recent symptoms. If you're combining FloPresso®️ with other therapies, we align your session sequencing and goals.
-
02. Clothing & Preparation
Please arrive in comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Jewelry, belts, and restrictive garments must be removed to ensure proper compression.
-
03. Technology & Safety Protocol
A trained practitioner assists you into the FloPresso®️ suit and confirms your position and comfort. All electronic devices must be powered off and removed from the suit area.
-
04. Sequential Compression Cycles
The suit inflates and deflates through rhythmic cycles targeting your legs, abdomen, and upper body. Pressures are gentle, non-painful, and fully adjustable. You may relax, rest, or meditate during this phase.
-
05. Continuous Monitoring & Comfort
A trained provider stays within range throughout the session to ensure safety, comfort, and proper suit performance. At any time, the intensity can be adjusted.
-
06. Session Wrap-Up
After the compression sequence completes, the suit is gradually depressurized and removed. We conduct a brief post-session check-in and help integrate FloPresso®️ into your recovery or optimization program.
Clinical Applications • Ideal Candidates
Who FloPresso®️ May Be Right For
FloPresso®️ is most appropriate for individuals seeking structured support for lymphatic flow, recovery, and nervous system regulation as part of a physician-directed program. At the Institute for Human Optimization, we most often recommend FloPresso for:
Post-Travel Swelling & Heaviness
Frequent flyers, executives, or performers who experience leg heaviness, puffiness, or fluid retention after flights or prolonged periods of sitting.
Lymphatic & Fluid Support
Individuals with a tendency toward fluid stagnation who have been clinically evaluated and cleared for compression-based therapies.
Recovery & Performance
Athletes and high-performers looking to layer structured recovery into demanding training, work, or travel schedules.
Nervous System Overload
Busy professionals experiencing chronic stress, shallow recovery, or difficulty downshifting into parasympathetic rest states.
Metabolic & Detox Programs
Individuals in physician-guided metabolic, detoxification, or longevity programs who may benefit from improved fluid and lymphatic dynamics.
Adjunct to Longevity Protocols
Patients engaged in comprehensive optimization plans where FloPresso is one pillar alongside nutrition, movement, regenerative, and nervous system therapies.
FloPresso®️ is not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace medical care for acute clots, uncontrolled heart failure, or undiagnosed leg pain or swelling. All candidates are clinically reviewed to ensure that compression and lymphatic-focused therapies are appropriate and safe.

Common Questions
FloPresso®️ FAQ
These answers will help you understand how FloPresso®️ fits into your recovery and optimization strategy at the Institute for Human Optimization.
FloPresso®️ is a full-body, multi-zone therapeutic system—not just leg boots. It combines sequential compression, warmth, and zone cycling to influence lymphatic flow, recovery, and autonomic balance.
Traditional compression boots typically treat only the lower legs. FloPresso®️ includes the lower body, abdomen, and torso with more advanced patterns and control.
When used appropriately and in a clinical setting, FloPresso®️ is generally well tolerated. At IFHO, sessions are delivered within physician-directed protocols and with trained staff present throughout.
Patients with suspected clots, uncontrolled heart failure, or unexplained swelling must be medically evaluated before receiving compression or lymphatic-focused therapies.
FloPresso®️ works best as a structured series rather than an occasional treatment.
- Single session: relaxation and light drainage
- 4–8 sessions: support for lymphatic flow and stress recovery
- 8–12+ sessions: deeper integration into metabolic, detox, or longevity programs
Once-a-month sessions, commonly offered in spa environments, are rarely sufficient for the type of physiologic change we aim for in a medical setting.
We will guide you on appropriate clothing, which is typically soft, non-restrictive layers. Jewelry, belts, and tight garments should be removed so the suit can compress evenly across each zone.
No. Electronics should be placed aside during the session. This protects your devices, avoids pressure points, and allows you to fully engage in nervous-system downshifting and recovery.
FloPresso®️ is most powerful when integrated into a comprehensive strategy that may include red light therapy, IHHT, peptides, metabolic programs, and executive-level recovery planning.
Your IFHO provider will help determine the right cadence and how to stack sessions around travel, training, or other therapies.
