normatec compression
– 45 minutes

The Normatec compression garment is intermittently inflated and deflated with pressure. There are a number of different types of garments to cater for different requirements, whether it be lower body, midsection or upper body.

Studies show it can help relieve muscle aches and/or pain and temporarily increase circulation resulting in increased flexibility and range of motion, injury prevention, and accelerated recovery time.

Incorporating a compression device into a recovery regime is one of the best ways to safely accelerate injury recovery and get you back to performing better, faster.

Here is why we chose Normatec:

Created by a physician bioengineer (MD. PhD) to enhance blood flow and speed recovery, Normatec Pulse Massage Pattern employs three key techniques to maximise your recovery:

Pulsing:

Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, Sequential Pulse Technology uses dynamic compression (pulsing). Our patented pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the lets and arms, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout, training or game.

Gradients:

Veins and lymphatic vessels have one-way valves that precent fluid backflow. Similarly, Normatec Pulse Technology uses hold pressures to keep fluids from being forced the wrong direction. Because of this enhancement, instead of tapering pressure off, this pulse technology can deliver maximal pressure within 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.
