HOW DOES COMPRESSION THERAPY WORK?

The NormaTec pulse massage is patented and proven technology that: Increases Circulation, Reduces Pain and Soreness, Rejuvenates Muscles, Accelerates Athlete Recovery. 

NormaTec utilizes a patented technology that massages the legs, arms, or hips with pneumatic compression to enhance circulation and reduce soreness. NormaTec employs three forms of biomimicry to expedite recovery: Pulsing - dynamic compression mobilizes fluid; Gradient Hold - prevents fluid backflow; Distal Release - allows normal circulation.

The pulsing action uses dynamic compression, effectively mimicking the muscle pump of the legs and arms, to greatly enhance the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs. NormaTec utilizes hold pressures similar to the one-way valves of veins and lymphatic vessels, preventing backflow, and enhancing the natural circulatory flow. The distal release feature releases hold pressure once they are no longer needed, ensuring that each portion of the limb gains maximal rest time without a significant pause between compression cycles.

IS COMPRESSION THERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU?

Compression therapy is well researched and has proven benefits in providing relief and preventing more serious problems. Some of the benefits include:

  • Prevention of leg swelling for people who stand or sit for long periods of time

The amount of compression therapy can vary considerably, it is important to talk to your Chiropractor before using these devices. They will ensure you have no medical contraindications, assess your condition, and determine if compression therapy can benefit you.
