Long before the invention of Compression Therapy, athletes across the globe were wearing (and still wear) compression clothing during and after exercising

The benefits of compression therapy are numerous and well-documented, due to improvement of blood flow to the target area. These benefits include:

Reduced Swelling and Inflammation

Increased Muscle Recovery

Preventing DOMS

(Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness)

Relieving Muscle Pain

Improving Athletic Performance

Increasing Flexibility and Range of Motion

Removing Exercise-Related Wastes

(Such As Lactic Acid)

Decreasing Muscle Fatigue

Compression therapy increases blood flow, which delivers nutrients to your muscles and removes wastes (like lactic acid). That's why active recovery such as stretching and walking is better than passive recovery (a.k.a doing nothing).

NormaTec suits squeeze your legs, hips, or arms (depending on attachment) in intervals and by section. Starting at the bottom of the attachment and working towards the top, the suit inflates intermittently to mimic natural blood flow in your body, offering comparable results to a massage.

Sessions typically last 15-60 minutes depending on your goals and needs (which we can help determine for you) and will leave you feeling better and more limber.​
