Body Ballancer
Slip into Body Ballancers patented inflated compression garments.
You and Improved is the first on Island Clinic to bring you the Body Ballancer which is a medical-graded compression lymphatic drainage therapy and effectively reduces water retention, cellulite, aids muscle recovery (DOMS) after exercise, reduces post-flight swelling, improves the immune system or can simply be a very relaxing massage to de-stress. It is a clinically proven medical treatment for the management of Lymphedema and Lipedema.
So whether you’re aiming to slip easily into a tight outfit, smooth the ‘orange peel’ dimpling of cellulite, recover your lymphatic health (it’s particularly good after operations) or simply mend a sports injury, it will aid your lymphatic system to work more efficiently.
The suit uses patent protected inflating compression garments to apply a gentle or firm massage, stimulating dermal and sub-dermal circulation. This encourages blood flow that increases nourishment to tissues and speeds the removal of excess lymphatic fluid, toxins and fatty acids. Each garment contains 24 individual air chambers that overlap to apply fluent compression strokes that target every inch of the treated area.
​
This massage motion, with its specific direction of flow from the base of the limb to the torso, increases circulation and gently but thoroughly decongests the problem areas of hips, thighs, buttocks.​
Benefits
There are many faddy ways to detox, but the simple fact remains that our bodies already come complete with an array of amazing detoxing organs, all of which support by our incredible lymphatic system.
​
The problem is, however, that stress, poor diet, pollution and a less-active lifestyle can all overwhelm the lymphatic system, leading to a build up of toxins and other waste. In turn, this can cause problems such as swelling, bloating, joint pain, headaches and fatigue – as well as compromise your immune system, making you more susceptible to illness.
​
A gentle Body Ballancer massage targets the lymphatic system, helping to flush out toxins and helping you avoid many of their associated problems. It can also give your immune system the boost it needs to help fight off illness and disease.
Fitness & Exercise
Slip into the Body Ballancer after exercise and enjoy a relaxing, deep-tissue massage. Body Ballancer’s special wave action moves along your legs, loosening tight muscle fibres while breaking down and removing lactic acid and other toxins from your system.
​
Body Ballancer increases the flow of oxygenated blood, helping you feel lighter and less sore. It also recharges your muscles faster, ready for the rest of your day or your next work out.
You can also use Body Ballancer before exercise. The increased flow of blood and oxygen helps to warm up your muscles without expanding the valuable energy you need for your session.
Slimming & Body Contouring
Body Ballancer is widely used by athletes because of the way it improves blood flow around the body, aiding muscle recovery. But that improved circulation also has other benefits, especially for those who struggle to lose weight.
​
That’s because fat burns more readily in parts of the body that have strong blood flow, compared with areas where circulation is poor. For women, this tends to be the hips, tummy, bottom and thighs, while for men it’s generally the tummy and hips.
​
As a result, many of us find it difficult to eliminate fat from these stubborn areas, even when we have a relatively healthy diet and exercise regularly.
Cellulite & skin tone
The layer of fat just underneath our skin is organised into chambers and held in place by a network of connective tissue. As we age, gain weight or suffer a build-up of toxins, the tissue is unable to flex well to accommodate the extra volume. This can cause fat cells to protrude upwards, giving the skin a bumpy appearance.
​
Importantly, if the blood supply to the area and / or the lymphatic system is compromised, this build up of fat and toxins increases.
​
Regular Body Ballancer massages boost circulation and bring healthy oxygenated blood to the treated areas. This helps to effectively break down the build up of cellulite, reducing volume and slimming, firming and smoothing affected skin.
Stress Relief
Stress is believed to be the cause of up to 80% of all chronic health issues, and is one of the major causes of poor lymphatic health.
That’s because when we’re stressed, our bodies kick into gear and produce the stress-fighting hormone cortisol, which has been shown to hinder lymphatic flow.
Chronic exposure can actually interfere with our immune system, making us more susceptible to illness.
​
Body Ballancer helps your body eliminate stress-related free radicals, keeping your lymphatic system healthy and free flowing.
Remove excess fluid & reduce swelling
Your lymphatic system is responsible for removing fluids from your body, but when it doesn’t function as it should, this can lead to swelling in the feet, legs, arms, thighs or abdomen.
​
There are many reasons why your lymphatic system might be compromised, ranging from injuries and the side-effects of medication to hormonal imbalances (particularly in women), too much salty food, or even just hot weather.
​
Body Ballancer stimulates the lymphatic system, helping it effectively remove excess fluid and reduce swelling.
Many notice a real difference in just a single session.
Gut Health
The gut contains crucial components of the lymphatic system including the lacteal. The lacteal is a little-known vessels which is primarily responsible for the absorption and transportation of all the fats we consume.
A compromised lymphatic system can slow this process which can cause an unhealthy build-up of fats in the digestive system. The Body Ballancer treatment can help to clear the central lymphatics significantly improving overall gut health.
Lymphoedema/ Lymphedema
Lymphoedema occurs when the lymphatic drainage system is not working properly. The gentle wave-like action of the Body Ballancer treatment has been clinically proven to help reduce limb and body swelling by effectively moving any excess fluid into and through the lymphatic vessels whilst boosting blood circulation.
This results in a rapid reduction of excess fluid through the body’s normal waste removal process which starts to reduce volume and discomfort in as little as a single treatment.
