Body Flow is a new electrotherapy device that stimulates the smooth muscle around lymphatic vessels and veins.  For the purpose of treating lymphoedema, this causes a reduction in swelling and fluid in the limb and can reduce limb volume and fluid by up to 15-30% (Bases on 3x per week for 1 month at 20mins per session).  The machine can also be used to reduce post-exercise soreness (delayed onset muscle soreness) and is used by athletes to help with recovery.

 What is Lymphoedema?

Lymphoedema is the abnormal swelling of the superficial body tissues, most often the limbs. Lymphoedema is a result of failure of the lymphatic system to adequately collect and/or transport lymph. The resulting affected limb/s becoming swollen and painful.

Lymphoedema can be caused by congenital conditions, infection/mosquito bite virus or by trauma to the lymphatic system via, injury or surgery/radiation for cancer treatment. As a chronic condition with no cure, the estimated 160,000 Australians that sufferer from Lymphoedmea need to manage their condition for the duration of their life.

Lymphatic massage, Endermologie and the Bodyflow machine are used successfully to increase the transport capacity of the lymphatic system and remove the stagnant plasma proteins from the tissues.
