What Is NormaTec Compression?
NormaTec is the name of the brand that’s made a few different compression devices. Though they have other things, when talking about NormaTec compression, it’s almost always their compression boots being referred to.
These boots do far more than simply compress things, though. It compresses one section of your legs at a time and then decompresses in a specific pattern. This pattern going up and down your legs is able to do a much better job of increasing the circulation to them.
How Does NormaTec Compression Therapy Help You?
The main purpose of NormaTec is the way it encourages all those normal toxins prone to building up in your legs to move up to the rest of your body so they can be properly filtered out.
This results in better circulation too, which helps with other things, like swelling from edema or just feet prone to getting cold easily due to some sort of circulation problem.
Basically, it’s beneficial for any issue involving circulation, especially to your feet and lower legs.
What It’s Like At A Wellness Center
To start, let’s describe what the average setup for this looks like.
Each of your legs will have its own separate boot. These will connect to some sort of station where our recovery specialist will enter the details for your session after going over them with you. This is how long your session will be, the intensity of the compression you’ve decided to go with, and if there are any parts of your leg you want extra work on.
With each leg in its own boot and securely zipped up, our specialist hits the start button and you just relax. You’ll be lying in a reclined position the whole time while it pulses with pressure up and down your legs.
The whole experience is a blend of relaxing and invigorating, especially if your legs are feeling heavy after a workout or simply from being on them so much of the time.
Afterward, the boots are unzipped and removed, and you leave to go about your day!
Why To Use A Center Like Ours For This
The primary reason you should come to Recovery Lab is the expensiveness of NormaTec setups. These, especially the larger ones of good quality, are very expensive to get yourself, not to mention the occasional repair costs if something happens to it, which you won’t have to afford if the equipment is ours.
Additionally, our trained recovery specialists are able to work with you to determine the best length of time, level of intensity, etc. This way, you don’t have to guess as much when trying to figure it out for yourself.
