Manual lymphatic drainage requires trained therapists, is time-intensive, and results vary with technique. The BOA MAX 2 at DakshinRehab Moosapet uses 24 overlapping air chambers to replicate the precise Dr. Emil Vodder manual technique — consistently, comfortably, and with clinical-grade precision across every session.


DakshinRehab uses the BOA MAX 2 Vodder algorithm to manage arm and breast lymphedema after cancer surgery — replacing daily manual drainage with consistent, effective sequential compression.

After liposuction, tummy tuck, or joint replacement, BOA MAX 2 accelerates fluid clearance and reduces DVT risk through calibrated sequential compression from 20 to 140 mmHg.

Varicose veins and heavy legs respond to the BOA MAX 2's sequential venous return protocol — improving circulation without medication and reducing swelling from the first session.

Athletes use BOA MAX 2 for rapid muscle recovery, lactate clearance, and reduced DOMS. The 35-55 minute session feels like a deep rhythmic massage while accelerating biological recovery.

Book an Assessment — We'll Diagnose It in Your First SessionFrom assessment to recovery — a structured approach to lymphatic health
Your physiotherapist assesses your condition — measuring limb circumference for lymphedema, reviewing surgical history for post-op patients, or evaluating recovery needs for athletes. We select the optimal BOA MAX 2 algorithm and pressure range (20–140 mmHg) for your specific condition.
The BOA MAX 2 delivers 24-chamber overlapping compression using the world's only Vodder-algorithm protocol. Full-body garments (pants + jacket) provide targeted lymphatic and venous drainage — replicating the gold-standard manual technique with microprocessor precision.
We track measurable outcomes — limb circumference reduction, swelling scores, pain levels, and functional improvement. Lymphedema patients receive structured maintenance plans. Post-surgery and sports patients graduate to independent management.

BOA MAX 2 integrates with our comprehensive rehabilitation programmes
BOA MAX 2 lymphatic drainage accelerates recovery after knee replacement, hip replacement, spine surgery, and cosmetic procedures. Combined with our structured post-surgical physiotherapy programmes for complete recovery.
Athletes use BOA MAX 2 for rapid recovery alongside our SportsFit Elite programme — 3D gait analysis, shockwave therapy, and sport-specific rehabilitation for faster return to play.
Post-stroke edema, spasticity management, and peripheral neuropathy benefit from BOA MAX 2 alongside our NeuroRevive programme — Cyclomotus robotic training, Virtual Rehab Lab, and EMG biofeedback.

Post-mastectomy arm swelling, post-surgery leg edema, and primary lymphedema respond to the BOA MAX 2 Vodder algorithm. DakshinRehab provides structured lymphedema management programmes with measurable circumference reduction.

After liposuction, breast surgery, knee replacement, or spine surgery, BOA MAX 2 accelerates fluid drainage, reduces DVT risk, and speeds tissue healing. DakshinRehab integrates this with our comprehensive post-op rehabilitation programmes.

Elite athletes use pressotherapy for rapid lactate clearance, muscle recovery, and reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). DakshinRehab's SportsFit Elite programme now includes BOA MAX 2 sessions for faster return to training.

Varicose veins, chronic leg swelling, and the 'heavy legs' sensation that IT professionals and healthcare workers experience respond well to sequential compression. The BOA MAX 2 improves venous return and reduces chronic discomfort.
The BOA MAX 2 combines 24-chamber gradient compression with targeted slimming algorithms to act as an 'external heart' — boosting circulation, oxygenating tissue, and delivering measurable aesthetic benefits: cellulite reduction, post-pregnancy skin toning, and digestive de-bloating.

Unlike basic pressotherapy devices, the BOA MAX 2 uses the world-exclusive Vodder algorithm to replicate Dr. Emil Vodder's manual lymphatic drainage technique. The 24 overlapping air chambers create rhythmic gradient compression that prevents liquid build-up, stimulates collagen production, tightens loose skin after pregnancy or weight loss, and promotes healthy bowel movements for comprehensive body transformation.
Acts as an 'external heart' — rhythmic pressure boosts circulation, eliminates toxins, and drives the sculpting & detox transformation process.
Pre-programmed cycles specifically designed for anti-cellulite therapy, body contouring, and aesthetic body transformation.
Prevents liquid build-up to halt cellulite progression, reduce fluid retention, and visibly firm skin texture from the first session.
Sequential abdominal compression strengthens and tightens loose skin after pregnancy or weight loss — non-invasive body contouring.
Boosts blood flow to stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and support full-body detoxification.
Stimulates healthy bowel movements to reduce bloating for a flatter abdominal appearance and improved gut health.
“Patients come to us for lymphatic drainage, but they leave with visible body transformation — reduced cellulite, firmer skin, and that 'light' feeling. The BOA MAX 2 delivers both clinical results and aesthetic benefits in every session.”— Dr. Swapnagandhi, Human Movement Specialist & Lead Physiotherapist, DakshinRehab

Post-surgical and sports patients typically complete their treatment course. Lymphedema patients transition to a structured maintenance schedule — typically 1–2 sessions per month for long-term management.
The lymphatic system is your body's silent defence network. BOA MAX 2 at DakshinRehab Moosapet activates and optimises this critical system for stronger, more responsive immunity.
An efficient immune system significantly increases the chances of a mild course of infection or its avoidance. One of the key elements of its functioning is the lymphatic system, which supports the body's immunity around the clock. That is why it is so important to strengthen and stimulate it — especially during times of reduced physical fitness and limited fresh air exposure.
The lymphatic system cooperates with the cardiovascular system and participates in the transport of lymph containing proteins, electrolytes, and lymphocytes — which are essential for the body. Lymphocytes control attacks on microorganisms and pathogens that are dangerous to health and life.
Lazy and dormant lymphocytes may miss or not react quickly enough to pathogens, including viruses, appearing in the body. Such a lowered immune response allows them to multiply and spread. BOA MAX 2 sequential compression therapy activates lymphatic flow, keeping your immune cells alert and responsive.
Your lymphatic system is a vital defence network. Understanding what harms and supports it helps you make better recovery decisions.
Capillaries are the smallest structures of the lymphatic system. Their role is to collect tissue fluid from the interstitial space. Tissue fluid (lymph) contains, among others, water, proteins, large amounts of lymphocytes (immune cells) and enters the bloodstream to exchange substances with blood. Harmful substances which are detected are then collected and exchanged between blood and lymph and carried to the lymph nodes in the lymphatic system, from where they are further transported to be neutralized. This process is based on the difference in pressure between the blood capillaries, where the pressure is high, and the veins, where the pressure is lower. This one-way fluid movement is controlled by the valvulas. The point of contact between the lymphatic system and the circulatory system is the so-called thoracic duct, the role of which is to collect lymph from the upper left part of the body and the entire lower one, transporting it further to the left subclavian vein, and the right lymphatic duct collecting lymph from the upper right part of the body.

Patient safety is our first priority at DakshinRehab in Moosapet. BOA MAX 2 treatment is safe for most patients, but the following conditions require medical clearance or are contraindicated. Always inform your therapist of your complete medical history.
Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) — Active blood clots in the legs are an absolute contraindication. Treatment must not proceed until DVT is resolved.
Active Infections or Skin Conditions — Open wounds, cellulitis, or acute skin infections in the treatment area must be resolved before pressotherapy sessions begin.
Severe Heart Conditions — Cardiac failure or severe cardiovascular disease may worsen with increased venous return. Medical clearance from a cardiologist is required.
Acute Thrombophlebitis — Inflammation of veins with clot formation is a contraindication. Treatment may resume after the acute phase resolves with medical clearance.
Uncontrolled Hypertension — Blood pressure must be managed before beginning sequential compression therapy. Patients with controlled hypertension can proceed with medical clearance.
Active Malignant Tumours in Treatment Area — Patients with active cancer in the treatment zone must consult their oncologist before lymphatic drainage therapy. Post-cancer lymphedema management is appropriate with oncology clearance.

A clinical perspective on why we chose the BOA MAX 2 for DakshinRehab Moosapet.

Human Movement Specialist, Physiotherapist
“For years, we relied on manual lymphatic drainage — effective but inconsistent and therapist-dependent. The BOA MAX 2 brings the precision of the Vodder technique into a reproducible, measurable treatment. For our lymphedema patients, this means consistent outcomes. For our post-surgery patients, this means faster recovery. And for our sports patients, this is world-class recovery technology that was previously only available in European sports medicine centres.”
