The NORMATEC Compression System Can Help Your Injury Recovery

Blog

The NORMATEC recovery system is an advanced rehab and recovery system that uses progressive compression with customisable settings — and it is well suited to injury recovery.

What the system helps with

  • Relieving muscle soreness
  • Increasing circulation
  • Flushing out lactic acid after a workout
  • Improving mobility

What is pneumatic medicine?

Pneumatic medicine is the use of non-invasive, painless, dynamic pneumatic compression to treat venous insufficiency, non-healing wounds and chronic dermal disruption ulceration, lymphedema and other peripheral vascular disorders. At its core is NormaTec's pulse technology inflation-deflation pattern, a considerable improvement on simple intermittent compression.

Three independent systems: arms and shoulder, hips, and legs

The full-length leg, arm and hip attachments rejuvenate muscle tissue and reduce tightness and soreness considerably. Used as part of a rehab protocol, NORMATEC speeds recovery and improves outcomes.

Benefits

  • Uses massage to lessen pain sensitivity and increase range of motion, for better blood flow and a quicker recovery
  • Combines three massage techniques: pulsing, gradients and distal release
  • Moves fluid better than ordinary compression, holds fluid from travelling back the wrong way through the veins, and releases the pressure as soon as possible

About NORMATEC

NormaTec was invented in 1998 by Dr Laura Jacobs, a physician who also held a doctorate in engineering, in response to a pressing need for technology that could treat circulation-related disorders quickly and non-invasively. It has been an industry leader in pneumatic compression ever since, with results for thousands of patients.
