NormaTec compression therapy utilizes specialized devices that attach to the arms, hips, and legs that resemble full extremity boots and sleeves. These devices systematically compress the extremities beginning at the furthest point (feet and hands) towards the torso and end at the closest point of the extremity (upper thigh and shoulders). This compression mimics the body’s natural mechanism known as the skeletal muscle pump to promote blood circulation, lymphatic drainage, and removal of metabolites, such as lactic acid, from the muscles.

Benefits of compression therapy include increased range of motion and flexibility, improved recovery time and relief from delayed onset muscle soreness, and post injury rehabilitation. This type of therapy is great for all athletes, but primarily used by weightlifters, runners, and cyclists.
