NormaTec Recovery Systems.

NormaTec compression boots were originally founded as a medical device. The technology was developed by a physician bioengineer with the goal to help improve blood flow and speed up the recovery progress.
Recent clinical research has proven treatment to increase circulation, reduce soreness and help athletes perform at their best.

Initially, the feeling is like a blood pressure cuff being inflated around your ankle. This feeling then subsides and the inflation slowly works up the legs.
Over the course of the session, the boots feel like a deep pressure massage over the leg. It’s not until you take the boots off that you experience the light weightless feeling through your legs.

NormaTec uses a patent PULSE Massage Pattern which uses 3 techniques.
Pulsing
Distal release

Pulsing
Instead of squeezing the legs to transport fluid out, NormaTec uses a pulsing mechanism which mimics the naturally occuring muscle pump within our body.
Gradients
lymphatic vessels have one-way valves that prevent fluid backflow. The pulse technology uses hold pressures to keep everything flowing in the right direction and prevent backflow.
This feature also enables maximum pressure in each zone over the legs.
Distal Release
Static pressure can have a negative effect to circulatory flow if it is maintained for too long. NormaTec uses 'Sequential Pulse Technology' which releases hold pressures once they are no longer needed to the backflow.
This ensures that each portion of the limb gains maximal rest time between compression cycles.
