NormaTec Compression Therapy

A unique system to help improve recovery from workouts and sports. NormaTec uses pulses of compressed air to mobilise fluid and reduce inflammation and lactic acid build up.

NormaTec Recovery

NormaTec compression therapy can help improve recovery times from tough workout sessions and sporting events, meaning you’re back to your best and ready to go again in faster times.

Suitable for both athletes and non athletes the NormaTec boots are a great way to get your legs feeling more mobile and less painful after intense exercise.

NormaTec Compression uses sequential pulsing of compressed air to massage the legs, mobilise fluid and reduce lactic acid build up, inflammation, fat and other byproducts.

The pulsing air is divided into zones to create a pressure gradient that moves these waste products up and out of the legs via the lymphatic drainage system. This is key for healing after an intense workout and can help prevent DOMs.

NormaTec FAQs

NormaTec Compression utilises sequences of pulsing compressed air to massage the legs and mobilises fluid, reducing the build up of lactic acid, inflammation, fat and other byproducts. The pulsing air is divided into zones to create a pressure gradient that moves these waste products up and out of the legs via the lymphatic drainage system.This is helpful after an intense workout and can help prevent DOMs (delayed onset muscle soreness).

NormaTec can be used pre workout to assist in warming up muscles and improve flexibility to help prevent injuries from occurring. Using NormaTec post workout will aid recovery times allowing for more frequent intense training and less pain following training sessions.

NormaTec compression therapy is used by many athletes and recreational non athletes across the world. It’s a very popular recovery therapy in professional sports but is quickly gaining popularity amongst recreational sports people and gym users due to its ability to reduce downtime after an intense workout and reduce painful DOMs.

NormaTec compression can also be used to treat conditions such as lymphedema and poor circulation, as well as supporting reduction in cellulite and inflammation in your body. Should you be suffering from any condition which you are currently under treatment for it is always recommended to speak to your doctor before starting compression therapy.
At first the NormaTec feels a little bit like a blood pressure cuff being inflated. This feeling then subsides as the pulsation graduates up the legs and feels more alike to a deep pressure massage.
You will be sitting or lying down whilst using the NormaTec so many people choose to utilise this time for relaxation. You can completely switch off, read a book, catch up on some emails, the choice is yours.

It is not recommended you use Normatec compression if you have the following conditions:

 

  • Acute Pulmonary oedema.
  • Acute thrombophlebitis.
  • Acute congestive cardiac failure.
  • Acute infections.
  • Deep vein thrombosis.
  • Episodes of pulmonary embolism.
  • Wounds, lesions, infection or tumours near the site of application.
  • Where increased venous or lymphatic return is undesirable.
  • Bone Fractures or dislocation at or near the site of application.

If you are pregnant we always recommend consulting your doctor before using NormaTec Compression.

The treatment will take place in a recovery treatment room at our Hertfordshire clinic. We’re located in Hertford which is easily accessible by road and train from surrounding areas such as Essex and Bedfordshire. NormaTec is available as part of our membership options. Please see our membership pages to find out more.

NormaTec has been reported by clients to have shown a reduction in the appearance of cellulite, through the massage. However it is not a miracle cure for cellulite as a standalone treatment. We offer alternative treatments that are great for cellulite including the Lipofirm Thigh Buster and Cryotherapy Cellulite Booster

NormaTec can be used as much as you like. Top athletes utilise them for pre-events and for post-event recovery so they can be used everyday. We would recommend utilising them with other recovery options such as red light therapy to speed up recovery.
NormaTec would be most comfortable if you are wearing items of gym wear (shorts/leggings etc). If you are coming from work or have restricted clothing on you can utilise one of our robes so the treatment will be more comfortable and beneficial to you.

Yes you can utilise NormaTec with other treatments, and some will further help speed up recovery. All of our recovery treatments such as our Infrared Sauna, Hyperbaric Chamber and Cryotherpy Chamber can be used before or after NormaTec.
