Normatec Compression Therapy

Types of compression therapies include compression sleeves, stockings, bandages, and even certain massages. At Performance, we use a compression modality called Normatec to get the most effective treatment possible on the extremities of the body for a variety of patient needs.

Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, Normatec uses dynamic pulse compression to mimic the muscle pump of the legs and arms. This greatly enhances the movement of fluid out of the limbs, especially after an intense workout. During a session, clients are suited up in one of three sections of the unit — legs, hips, or arms — for up to 45 minutes.

 

Benefits of Normatec.

Normatec can be used for a variety of health benefits. Professional and recreational athletes alike can use Normatec to help increase range of motion before a practice, game, or match. Or, if you’re recovering from a recent injury or dealing with chronic soreness, Normatec can help lessen pain sensitivity and reduce the intensity of delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS). Heavy weightlifters, long-distance runners, and marathoners alike may find benefit in using Normatec to decrease muscle fatigue after exercise and enhance blood flow.
