Flowpresso Staff Training
Your guide to delivering an incredible wellness experience
✨ Welcome to Flowpresso Training
Welcome to The Karlfeldt Center's Flowpresso training! You're about to learn how to deliver one of the most relaxing and rejuvenating wellness experiences we offer. Patients absolutely love Flowpresso, and by the end of this training, you'll understand why – and how to help them get the most from every session.
🌟 Why Patients Love Flowpresso
Flowpresso combines three powerful therapies into one deeply relaxing experience. Patients often describe it as "the best 40 minutes of their week" – a full-body reset that leaves them feeling lighter, calmer, and more energized.
What is Flowpresso?
Flowpresso is a full-body therapy system that wraps patients in a comfortable suit delivering three amazing benefits at once:
Gentle, wave-like compression moves through the body, promoting lymphatic drainage, improving circulation, and helping flush out toxins and excess fluid. Think of it as a full-body massage that reaches places hands can't!
Soothing warmth penetrates deep into tissues, boosting circulation, easing muscle tension, and enhancing the body's natural detoxification. The heat is adjustable by zone so every patient gets their perfect comfort level.
The gentle, evenly-distributed pressure creates a calming "hug effect" that helps the nervous system shift into rest-and-restore mode. Many patients feel their stress melt away within minutes.
The Amazing Benefits
Lymphatic Drainage
Stimulates lymph flow to reduce swelling, flush toxins, and support immune function
Deep Detoxification
Helps the body release built-up toxins and metabolic waste naturally
Better Sleep
Calms the nervous system for improved sleep quality and relaxation
Faster Recovery
Speeds up recovery from workouts, travel, or daily stress
Reduced Inflammation
Helps calm inflammation and ease muscle tension throughout the body
Increased Energy
Many patients feel lighter, clearer, and more energized afterward
Your 30-Second Patient Explanation
"Flowpresso is like getting a full-body massage, lymphatic drainage, and relaxation therapy all in one! You'll lie back in a comfortable suit that gently compresses and warms your body in waves. It's incredibly relaxing – most people feel like they're getting a warm, soothing hug. It helps with lymphatic drainage, detoxification, circulation, and stress relief. And the best part? You don't have to do anything except relax and enjoy it!"
"I felt like I was floating after my session. All the tension I'd been carrying just melted away, and I slept better that night than I had in months!"
— Common patient feedback⚙️ How Flowpresso Works Its Magic
Understanding how Flowpresso works will help you explain it confidently to patients and ensure they get the best experience possible.
Full-Body Coverage
The Flowpresso suit covers the entire body with 22 individual chambers that work together in perfect harmony:
| Body Area | What It Targets |
|---|---|
| 👣 Feet & Legs | Reduces swelling, improves circulation, relieves tired legs |
| 🫁 Abdomen | Supports digestion, core lymphatic drainage, reduces bloating |
| 💪 Arms | Releases tension, improves upper body circulation |
| 🔙 Back & Shoulders | Melts away tension, supports spinal relaxation |
Two Amazing Treatment Modes
Creates a smooth, flowing wave sensation as compression moves through the body. Perfect for stress relief, relaxation, and gentle lymphatic support.
Tell patients: "This feels like a gentle, rolling massage wave moving through your whole body – incredibly soothing!"
A more dynamic compression pattern that builds and releases for deeper lymphatic drainage and recovery support. Great for athletes and post-workout recovery.
Tell patients: "This is our deeper recovery mode – it really helps flush out lactic acid and reduce muscle soreness."
Customizable Comfort
Every session is tailored to the patient's preferences:
🎛️ Full Control at Your Fingertips
- Pressure: Adjustable from gentle to firm – patients tell you what feels best
- Heat: Four separate zones (feet, legs, trunk, arms) can be adjusted independently
- Zone Control: Any area can be turned off completely if needed
- Real-Time Adjustments: Changes can be made instantly during the session
What Patients Experience
- A warm, gentle embrace that envelops the whole body
- Rhythmic compression that feels like a soothing massage
- Deep relaxation – many patients drift off or enter a meditative state
- Afterward: feeling lighter, calmer, and refreshed
- Many notice reduced bloating and puffiness immediately
"I came in feeling bloated and exhausted. Forty minutes later, my rings were looser, my legs felt lighter, and I had more energy than I'd had all week!"
— Common patient feedback🛡️ Keeping Patients Safe
While Flowpresso is incredibly gentle and safe for most people, there are some situations where we need to take extra care or recommend they check with their doctor first.
Quick Health Check
Before each session, have a quick chat with your patient to make sure Flowpresso is right for them today.
If a patient has any of the following, recommend they get their doctor's okay before their first session:
- Pregnancy – We want mom and baby to be safe, so we recommend checking with their OB first
- Blood clot history – Including DVT, phlebitis, or current unexplained leg swelling
- Heart conditions – Especially congestive heart failure or severe heart problems
- Active infections – Including open wounds, skin infections, or fever
- Recent fractures – Broken bones or recent surgeries in the treatment area
- Severe back/spine issues – Unless already cleared for compression therapy
Easy Pre-Session Questions
"Before we get you set up, let me ask a few quick questions to make sure you have the best experience:"
• "Any chance you could be pregnant?"
• "Any history of blood clots or circulation problems?"
• "Any open wounds or active infections right now?"
• "How are you feeling today – any unusual pain or discomfort?"
"Perfect! Let's get you relaxed!"
During the Session
Patients stay fully clothed – long sleeves, long pants, and socks. No bare skin under the suit. Remove jewelry, belts, and anything in pockets.
Always stay nearby during sessions. Check in after the first few minutes and mid-session to make sure they're comfortable.
If a patient feels uncomfortable, too warm, or wants less pressure – adjust immediately! The goal is total relaxation.
Most patients have zero issues and absolutely love their sessions. These guidelines just help us ensure everyone has the safest, most enjoyable experience possible!
🔧 Running a Perfect Session
Here's your step-by-step guide to delivering an amazing Flowpresso experience every time!
Before the Session
- Warm welcome! – Greet your patient and ask how they're feeling today
- Quick health check – Run through the simple screening questions
- Clothing check – Long sleeves, pants, socks. Remove jewelry and belts
- Set expectations – Explain the warm, hugging sensation they'll feel
- Reassure them – Let them know you can adjust anything at any time
During the Session
- Start gentle – Begin with moderate pressure and heat, then adjust to their preference
- Check fit – Make sure the suit is snug but comfortable (you should be able to slip a finger in)
- Early check-in – After 2-3 minutes, ask "How does that feel? Would you like more or less pressure?"
- Create the mood – Offer eye mask, dim lights, soft music if available
- Stay accessible – Let them know you're right there if they need anything
After the Session
- Wait for full deflation – Give it about 60 seconds before removing the suit
- Help them up slowly – They may feel deeply relaxed or a little lightheaded
- Offer water – Encourage them to hydrate to support the detox process
- Ask about their experience – "How do you feel? Pretty amazing, right?"
- Clean the equipment – Wipe down with antibacterial wipes, focusing on creases
Use antibacterial wipes on the garments. Don't use alcohol or harsh solvents – they can damage the material. Wipe the display screen with just a damp cloth.

Recommended Treatment Plan
🎯 Getting the Best Results
For optimal benefits, recommend patients start with 3 sessions over 2-3 weeks (spaced at least 3 days apart). This gives the body time to respond and lets patients really feel the cumulative benefits. After that, maintenance sessions can be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly depending on their goals!
💬 Talking with Patients
Great communication makes all the difference! Here's how to answer common questions and help patients get excited about their Flowpresso journey.
