Recovery is one of the most important aspects of fitness and sports performance. Some degree of muscle soreness following intense training is not uncommon, and can be beneficial and/or necessary for muscle hypertrophy, increased strength and improved performance. 

Prolonged or intense muscle soreness however can have a negative impact on subsequent training or competition. It is imperative for high-level athletes, or anyone looking to optimize their performance and training to promote recovery and minimize time spent with delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). 

There are many popular evidence based methods to improve recovery following intense training including: 

​

  • Passive recovery

  • Active recovery

  • Cold immersion

  • Neuromuscular stimulation

  • Compression garments

  • Compression therapy 

​

Normatec compression therapy has been shown in the literature to be an effective adjunct to help athletes accelerate and enhance recovery following intense training. Beyond the metabolic and physiological benefits, Normatec compression system may also aid in relaxation, nervous system recovery, and reduced muscular tone. This can lead to increased range of motion and power output. 

What is Normatec? 

The Normatec system utilizes dynamic air compression effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout. The Normatec system was created by a physician bioengineer (MD, PhD). the Normatec system combines dynamic air compression with a patented Pulse massage pattern that employs three key techniques—pulsing, distal release, and gradients. Studies show it can help relieve muscle aches and/or pain and temporarily increase circulation resulting in increased flexibility and range of motion, injury prevention, and accelerated recovery time.

Benefits 

  • Enhance blood flow and speed recovery 

    • Normatec’s patented Pulse massage pattern employs three key techniques – pulsing, distal release, and gradients

  • High-tech warmup and a dynamic way to recover faster 

    • Integrate your recovery session seamlessly into your training plan

  • Patented Pulse technology

    • Flush out metabolites and bring oxygenated blood to the part of the body furthest from the heart
