NormaTec Recovery Systems are cutting-edge, commercial grade compression devices that enhance the body’s natural ability to recover. Using NormaTec’s full-length leg, arm, or hip compression attachments rejuvenates muscle tissue by enhancing blood flow and speeds recovery by dramatically reducing tightness and soreness. The NormaTec PULSE Massage Pattern employs three key techniques: 1) Pulsing- to move fluid out of the limbs, 2) Gradients- to hold pressures to keep fluids from being forced in the wrong direction, 3) Distal release- to release the hold pressures once they are no longer needed and as soon as possible to allow each segment of the limb to have maximal rest time without much pause between compression cycles. When used as part of a rehab protocol, NormaTec helps to speed recovery, improve outcomes, and increase patient satisfaction.
