Benefits of Compression Therapy

Dynamic pneumatic compression is a form of mechanical massage that applies pressure to an area of the body and sequentially makes its way toward the heart. By applying a negative gradient of pressure starting furthest from the heart, our compression devices provide a boost in circulation, flushing out lactic acid and other waste.

Minimizes Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

Research indicates a decrease in markers of muscle cell damage, such as creatine kinase, following the application of pneumatic compression. Enhanced circulation facilitates the delivery of increased oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, promoting improved mobility and expedited recovery.

Reduces Swelling and Stiffness

Employing pulse technology, compression therapy expedites the lymphatic system’s ability to eliminate accumulated waste products. This results in a sensation of lightness and freshness, actively contributing to improved range of motion and faster body recovery.

Alleviates Muscle Fatigue

Individuals utilising compression therapy often experience diminished muscle sensitivity and reduced soreness associated with Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness following exercise.

Reduces Fluid Retention

Utilizing the Normatec pulse massage pattern and dynamic compression, fluid is efficiently propelled through your limbs, preventing it from accumulating in the wrong direction. This proactive approach helps prevent swollen legs and discomfort.

Assists in Eliminating Muscle Toxins

As fluids are flushed from your limbs, toxins are also mobilized from your muscles, facilitating their removal by the lymphatic system. This accelerates the recovery process and effectively alleviates pain.

Enhances Range of Motion and Flexibility

Dynamic compression improves blood flow through muscles, inducing warming and stretching. This accelerated recovery contributes to increased range of motion, while the warmed and stretched muscles offer enhanced flexibility.

Pro tip

Tailor your compression regimen with the utilisation of our three specialised compression attachments designed for distinct body areas: legs, hips, or arms. Each attachment incorporates a specialised zone boost feature, enabling you to refine your compression protocol according to your unique recovery requirements.

Compression: 30 min
Contrast therapy: 20 min

During a 30-minute session in our compression devices, the pulse technology mimics a lymphatic massage optimising lymphatic function to remove built-up waste, reducing muscle soreness and inflammation. Followed by hot and cold pools triggering blood vessel constriction and dilation, enhancing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and aiding muscle recovery.

Understanding Compression Therapy and Its Mechanism

This innovative therapy is beneficial for athletes and regular gym enthusiasts, aiding in quicker recovery between training sessions. It employs dynamic compression devices enveloping your legs, utilizing pulsating compression for a massaging effect on your limbs.

The pulsing compression pattern proves more effective than static compression found in manual massages, resulting in improved blood flow and accelerated fluid transport throughout your body.

Adapting precisely to your body’s contours, the system ensures a perfect fit, allowing for personalised recovery.
