What is Compression Therapy?

If you’re looking for a better way to recover from intense training or competitive events, NormaTec™ Compression Therapy may be the answer you’ve been looking for. Compression therapy coupled with cryotherapy could significantly speed up your recovery time.

NormaTec™ Compression Therapy is a cutting-edge recovery system that helps athletes recover and rehabilitate between training sessions or following competitive events. The NormaTec™ PULSE Recovery System comprises a compression device surrounding your arms, legs, or hips. These compression units then utilize compressed air to massage your limbs, leading to mobilized fluid and faster recovery and healing following intense exertion. Instead of simply squeezing the limb using static compression, this innovative technology utilizes pulsing, similar to what you would experience in a manual massage. The pulsing alternates between different zones while other areas hold, improving fluid movement out of the limbs.

The digital system allows customized, straightforward control of your recovery compression therapy experience. The design of the system molds to your exact body shape when you first turn it on during a pre-inflate cycle. That allows it to provide a snug, custom compression therapy massage just for you.

FAQ’s

  • You will have the sensation of a very tight squeeze that works its way up the chambers of the device you’re using (arms/legs/hips). It is very relaxing, much like a massage, as it soothes your sore and tired muscles.

  • Comfortable yet tight-fitting clothes are best. If your clothes are too loose, as the device compresses, the fabric can bunch and be uncomfortable.

  • You can use Compression Therapy before or after exercise, for routine training or high level competition.
