What is NormaTec Recovery System?

Our NormaTec Recovery system is a dynamic compression device designed for recovery and rehab. Our system uses NormaTec’s patented PULSE technology to help athletes recover faster between trainings and after intense exercise. NormaTec is also great for those at risk of circulation and swelling issues such as lymphedema and deep vein thrombosis.

Our system includes a control unit and attachments which go on the legs. Compressed air is then used to massage your legs, mobilize fluid, and speed recovery with the patented NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern.

When you use our system, you will first experience a pre-inflate cycle, during which the connected attachments are molded to your exact body shape. The session will then begin by compressing your feet, calf’s, lower and upper quads.

Similar to kneading and massage, each segment of the attachment will first compress in a pulsing manner and then release. This will repeat for each segment of the attachment as the compression pattern works its way up your limb.

Why Choose NormaTec?

Created by a physician bioengineer (MD, PhD) to enhance blood flow and speed recovery, NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern employs three key techniques to maximize 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 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, the PULSE and PULSE PRO 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.

Who can benefit from NormaTec Compression Therapy?

Individuals with the following conditions can benefit from our compression therapy:

• Soreness and cramping after exercise
• Swollen legs and arms (including those with lymphedema)
• Varicose veins
• Limited range of motion

What are the benefits of NormaTec Compression Therapy?

• Reduced pain and soreness
• Faster recovery after exercise
• Decreased swelling
• Wider range of motion

Indications for Use

The NormaTec Recovery System is an air pressure massage indicated to temporarily relieve minor muscle aches and/or pains and to temporarily increase circulation to the treated areas.

Risks and Benefits of the NormaTec Recovery System

The risks and benefits of using the NormaTec Recovery System are the same as having a massage. If the pressure feels uncomfortable, you can reduce the intensity or stop the session. Similar to a massage, the benefits can include the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains. It can also temporarily increase circulation in the area being massaged.
