Normatec Compression
Recover like a pro.
Normatec recovery uses sequential pneumatic compression to rhythmically squeeze the limbs, mimicking the body's natural muscle pump. It helps flush metabolic waste, reduce swelling, and restore circulation to fatigued limbs. It is a comfortable, passive recovery tool that many athletes use after hard training to reduce soreness and feel fresher for the next session.
What it may help with
- Post-training leg fatigue and heaviness
- General muscle soreness and recovery
- Circulation support after intense activity
- Feeling recovered between training days
What a session looks like
You relax while compression sleeves are placed on the target limbs. The system inflates and deflates in a controlled sequence, creating a gentle massage-like effect. Sessions run about 30 minutes and pair well with other treatments as part of a complete recovery visit.
Who it's for
Normatec is a good fit for athletes and active people who want structured recovery support. It is passive and comfortable, and the team will confirm it is appropriate for you, particularly if you have any circulatory conditions.
