The rush of blood causes shear stress which releases nitric oxide and growth factors inside the vessels. It’s used to treat blood flow problems in the leg mostly (diabetics etc). I think the angion method *in theory* seems like it could speed up blood flow in similar ways to compression therapy in the limbs, but like everything else, it has to be proven. For example, there’s no muscle in the penis, so you can’t just extrapolate the limb studies to a penis even though it sounds like it should work. THere’s even a study that shows compression therapy in the legs improved blood flow near the balls, they were showing there were upstream nitric oxide benefits. I’m not surprised it helps EQ and agree it seems like a great therapy for ED on the surface. I agree, I can’t see how it could create a longer penis. A fatter one, maybe. One with more arteries, very likely. But it needs some scientific testing and proof.
Anyway, I won’t post links just google sequential pneumatic compression therapy and all the science, methods and even devices are there.
I always said the basic principles of the so called angion methods were basically the same as jelqing.
This is from the wiki page on pneumatic compression.
The primary functional aim of the device “is to squeeze blood from the underlying deep veins, which, assuming that the valves are competent, will be displaced proximally.” When the inflatable sleeves deflate, the veins will replenish with blood. The intermittent compressions of the sleeves will ensure the movement of venous blood.[2]
Sequential compression devices (SCD) utilize sleeves with separated areas or pockets of inflation, which works to squeeze on the appendage in a “milking action.” The most distal areas will initially inflate, and the subsequent pockets will follow in the same manner.[3
“milking action” being the key phrase here.
