The NormaTec Recovery System uses air pressure to speed up recovery by mimicking natural muscle movement. It uses inflatable sleeves or boots that inflate and deflate in a rhythmic pattern, promoting circulation, reducing swelling, and easing muscle soreness.
Here’s how it works:
Sequential Compression: The sleeves fill with air, starting from the feet or hands and moving upwards. This helps push fluids like blood and lymph toward the heart, aiding in waste removal and reducing inflammation.
Improved Blood Flow: It helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to muscles while flushing out waste products, like lactic acid, that cause soreness.
Reduced Swelling: The compression helps reduce fluid buildup, speeding up recovery after exercise.
Muscle Relaxation: The pulsing pressure helps relax tight muscles, relieving tension and improving muscle function.
*NormaTec is customizable, so you can adjust the pressure and duration to meet your needs and recover faster *
No special preparation is needed before your session. Just wear comfortable clothing and remove any jewelry or items from your pockets. You’ll place your legs, hips, or arms into the compression sleeves and relax in a recliner chair. The sleeves will gradually inflate, compressing and massaging your limbs in specific patterns.
A compression therapy session is 30 minutes, or available for 60 minutes.
Compression therapy can be used before or after workouts, sports training, or intense competition to boost recovery. It’s beneficial to use it at least once or twice a week, but daily use is great for enhancing recovery. It’s also helpful after long periods of sitting, standing, or walking to improve circulation.
*Consult a professional*: If you’re unsure about how often to use Normatec, check with your doctor or physical therapist.
