Compression Therapy
NORMATEC RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY
WHAT IS IT?
​
Normatec compression is a treatment that uses air compression to massage your targeted area and help replicate the natural muscle pumps and one way valves of the legs/hips & lower back/arms.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
​
Our Normatec 3 compression suits have 7 levels of compression that deliver pulse technology to different zones. The leg and arm suits have 5 different zones starting from the foot/hand working all the way up your leg/arm. Our hip and lower back suit has two overlapping zones that target the quads, hamstrings, glutes and lower back.
​
Compression Therapy at Hamels Wellness Stamford will involve you sitting in a reclining chair with the Normatec suit on for between 30 and 60 minutes. During which time, you can sit back and relax with some of our complimentary refreshments.
Benefits of Compression Therapy
Decrease muscle tension and inflammation
Normatec boots can help decrease muscle tension and inflammation by boosting blood flow, which helps reduce recovery time.
Decreases recovery time
You help reduce the overall recovery time for your muscles when you reduce inflammation. You get the benefits of recovery whilst getting more time to spend in the gym and training, whether you are a full time athlete or just a general sporting person, decreasing the time it takes to recover allows you more time to train harder for longer.
Increase range of motion and flexibility
Increasing range of motion is important for a wide variety of sporting activities. The Normatec boots help to increase the range of motion in your legs by reducing muscle soreness which will allow you to perform with a higher intensity without that tight feeling in your muscle when exercising. This decreases lactic acid buildup which aids the body in recovery.
Reduces swelling and water accumulation
Swelling can be inevitable after you have had a serious or minor injury. This is where the Normatec boots can offer some fantastic benefits to your recovery. Compression therapy can be used to flush oedema and massage the legs. It can help pump out swelling and scar tissue as well as decreasing lactic acid buildup.
Normatec boots increase circulation
Poor circulation is related to a lot of different health issues and the Normatec boots can help increase circulation. This is great both in terms of overall recovery and general well-being. By squeezing your lower legs, compression therapy helps the veins return blood to your heart and prevent the pooling of blood and swelling. Better circulation improves both the health of your heart and muscles and is another reason to incorporate Normatec boots into your recovery strategy.
