What is NormaTec Therapy?
Serving the Greater Los Angeles County Area including La Verne, Claremont, Glendora, San Dimas, CA
The sequential compression pattern NormaTec uses mirrors the natural movement of your lymphatic and circulatory systems. This is why it may help support the way your body already recovers, as part of a well-rounded recovery routine. Potential benefits include support for healthy circulation, reduced feelings of muscle soreness, less post-activity puffiness, feeling more ready between workouts, and lighter, less fatigued-feeling legs.
Many clients also find NormaTec sessions deeply relaxing. The rhythmic pressure has a calming effect, making it a popular pairing with more intense recovery services like cryotherapy or percussion therapy.
NORMATEC THERAPY
- What Are The Benefits Of NormaTec Therapy?
NormaTec is one of the most broadly accessible services we offer. Because it is a passive service — you sit back and let the sleeves do the work — it is appropriate for almost anyone regardless of fitness level.
It may be especially helpful for athletes training at high volumes, runners dealing with leg fatigue, people who spend long hours on their feet, and anyone looking to support healthy circulation as part of their routine. If your legs feel heavy, tight, or swollen after activity, NormaTec is worth trying.
Anyone with specific circulatory conditions or open wounds in the area covered by the sleeves should consult a medical professional before booking.
- Who Is NormaTec Therapy Suitable For?
A NormaTec session at Recovery Lab is one of the more relaxing things you can do for recovery. You will settle into a comfortable position, and one of our recovery specialists will fit the compression sleeves properly over your legs.
Once the session starts, you will feel a rhythmic pressure beginning at your feet and moving up toward your hips. The sensation is firm but comfortable — similar to a deep, steady squeeze. Most clients sit back and decompress while the therapy works.
Sessions typically run about 30 minutes, though your recovery specialist can adjust the length based on your needs. Most people finish feeling noticeably lighter and less tense than when they started.
