Examining the Impact of FLOWpresso®
A 2021 research study into the cyclical application of Flowpresso therapy revealed significant improvements in overall well-being and reductions in stress-related symptoms. The findings suggest that Flowpresso may be an effective tool for individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbances, with ongoing research continuing to explore its broader benefits.

What Does the Research Say?
In 2021, a study focused on emergency responders—who are often exposed to high levels of stress—examined how Flowpresso therapy affected their stress levels and overall health. The results were promising, demonstrating positive effects.
Participants underwent a three-week program, receiving a 40-minute Flowpresso session once a week. The outcomes showed notable improvements in stress management and general well-being, indicating that Flowpresso could be particularly useful in high-pressure environments.
Key Findings from the Flowpresso Research
The research highlighted substantial benefits in reducing stress and boosting overall wellness. Participants reported increased mental clarity, lower stress, and improved health, reinforcing the potential of Flowpresso as a supportive therapy for those working under intense conditions.
- Up to 92% of emergency responders experienced a reduction in sleep disturbance scores after three sessions
- As many as 61% showed decreased stress levels
- Up to 53% reported reductions in anxiety
- 61% felt better about their overall health and well-being
These findings suggest that Flowpresso may be a valuable resource for individuals operating in high-stress roles.

Research into the benefits of Flowpresso continues, with future studies aiming to investigate its potential across various health, wellness, and sports performance applications.
How it works
Flowpresso® is a one-of-a-kind therapy system that combines three powerful modalities—sequential compression, deep pressure therapy, and far-infrared heat—delivered through a state-of-the-art 22-chamber bodysuit. Together, these modalities work in harmony to detoxify, relax, and restore the body.
The Flowpresso® Experience involves:
Sequential Compression: Cycles from feet to shoulders, stimulating the lymphatic system and aiding in detoxification and physical recovery.
Far-Infrared Heat: Gently warms the body, promoting relaxation, circulation, and overall wellness while supporting restful sleep.
Deep Pressure Therapy: Offers a calming, “hug-like” sensation that soothes the nervous system and reduces stress response.
A Nano Vibrational Therapy (NVT) disc is also placed near your neck in the bodysuit during treatment. Its effectiveness is enhanced by environmental factors, with FLOWpresso® using far-infrared technology to improve the connection between the NVT disc and your body. This helps regulate nano vibrations, supporting healing and energy balance along with the movement benefits of FLOWpresso.
Understanding NVT
Nano vibrations are tiny electromagnetic waves that influence your body's core functions at a subtle level, working naturally and non-invasively.
How Your Flowpresso Session Flows:
you remain fully-clothed throughout the session (wear long sleeves and full-length pants with socks).
the practitioner wraps your feet, legs, abdomen, arms in sequence in the suit; then the system's air pressure and heat cables are connected.
the practitioner interacts with you to establish optimal settings for your body's needs, starting on level 1
the session is 40-minutes
You can experience the best results by investing in a series of regular sessions, rather than taking a one-off approach. This is because the more often we put our body into a parasympathetic state, the more opportunity it has to reset and repair. At least three sessions is recommended with a minimum of three days in between sessions. One session per week is ideal and there is no limit to how many sessions people can have.
Please be advised that a FLOWpresso® treatment is not recommended for five days after a spray tan, as the tanning solution will damage the suit. Please plan accordingly.
What are some of the FLOWpresso® contraindications?
Heart disease, especially if increased blood flow is detrimental, e.g., congestive heart failure or uncontrolled high BP
Pregnancy
Acute infection of the affected limb, e.g., cellulitis
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Broken Bones
Electronic medical implants
The science of Bioptron Hyperlight Therapy
How BIOPTRON® Works
Harnessing Hyperpolarized Light for Cellular Health
At the core of BIOPTRON®’s effectiveness is its use of hyperpolarized light, a specialized light that mirrors the natural wavelengths of sunlight, which are crucial for cellular function. When this light is applied to the skin, it triggers a series of beneficial responses at the cellular level.
Key Effects of Hyperpolarized Light:
Improved Microcirculation: BIOPTRON promotes vasodilation, enhancing blood flow and ensuring that cells receive adequate oxygen and nutrients.
Angiogenesis: The light stimulates the formation of new capillaries, improving circulation and nourishing cells.
Fibroblast Activation: BIOPTRON encourages fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, which are vital for skin elasticity and tissue regeneration.
Cellular Photobiomodulation (PBM)
BIOPTRON operates on the principle of cellular photobiomodulation (PBM)—a process where light energy interacts with cells to trigger important biological responses.
How PBM Enhances Cellular Function:
Mitochondrial Activation: The light absorbed by mitochondria boosts ATP production, enhancing overall cellular function and energy.
Anti-Inflammatory Action: BIOPTRON helps reduce inflammation by modulating inflammatory mediators, providing relief from various conditions.
Faster Cellular Regeneration: The therapy speeds up tissue repair, aiding both acute injuries and chronic conditions.
In short, BIOPTRON® uses hyperpolarized light to improve circulation, stimulate tissue repair, and reduce inflammation, promoting overall health and well-being.
