Normatec Compression Therapy
Normatec Compression
NormaTec Compression Therapy is a treatment that uses pulse massage patterns to boost recovery. The dynamic compression device uses compressed air to massage limbs, mobilize fluid, provide lymph drainage, and fight inflammation. Your limbs insert into sleeves that inflate to compress the muscles. The compression system then pulses up the limbs, squeezing pain-causing fluid & lactic acid out of them. The limbs are then replenished with fresh blood, stimulating recovery.
Benefits of NormaTec Compression Therapy
Perfect for Athletes, Teams and Athletic Trainers, Normatec Compression Therapy:
- Decreases muscle recovery time
- Reduces soreness
- Decreases muscle tension and inflammation
- Increases flexibility and range of motion
- Reduces swelling and water accumulation
- Increases blood flow and circulation
How it works
Created by a physician bioengineer (MD, PhD), the NormaTec PULSE Massage Pattern employs three key techniques—pulsing, gradients and distal release (switch order to match boxes below) —all to maximize your recovery.
Pulsing:
Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, NormaTec Pulse Technology uses dynamic compression (pulsing). The patented pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout.
Gradients:
Veins and lymphatic vessels have one-way valves that prevent fluid backflow. Similarly, NormaTec Pulse Technology uses hold pressures to keep fluids from being forced in the wrong direction. Because of this enhancement, instead of tapering pressure off, can deliver maximum pressure in every zone.
Distal Release:
Because extended static pressure can be detrimental to the body’s normal circulatory flow, Sequential Pulse Technology releases the hold pressures once they are no longer needed to prevent backflow. By releasing the hold pressure in each zone as soon as possible, each portion of the limb gains maximal rest time without a significant pause between compression cycles.
