How does it work?
The NormaTec system of compression was originally developed for use in the medical sector with patients who had problems with circulation, swelling and inflammation. However, elite athletes are now taking advantage of this effective technology for recovery - find out why you should too!
Inflammation occurs when strenuous exercise damages your muscle tissue. This leads to an increase in swelling, sensitising your nerves and causing that familiar sensation of pain and soreness following a hard workout.
Compression Therapy can help! The Recovery Room’s NormaTec system applies external pressure to the muscles. This cuts down the space available for swelling, lessens inflammation and, most importantly, reduces pain and soreness!
NormaTec’s patented Pulse Massage Pattern mimics the natural muscle pump of the legs, which aids the heart in the circulation of blood around the body. By providing a mechanical massaging of the muscles through inflatable boots you wear on your legs, the system replicates the enhanced blood flow created by walking, running or cycling all while you relax in the Recovery Room’s luxury recliners! The massaging begins at the ankle and moves in a sequential fashion up the leg to the upper quad, preventing fluids from being forced in the wrong direction.
Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, NormaTec Pulse Technology uses dynamic compression (pulsing). NormaTec Compression Therapy also exerts up to 4 times greater levels of pressure when compared with commercially available compression garments (e.g. Skins). This dynamic application of greater pressure has been shown to be superior when compared with static compression at enhancing blood flow and removing metabolic waste.
Lastly, you can’t undervalue the positive psychological effect of a full and lasting recovery. The Recovery Room’s NormaTec Recovery System is a valuable aid to your healing and relaxation. So crawl into The Recovery Room after a hard workout and leave with a spring in your step!
How do I use it?
The Recovery Rooms NormaTec Compression Therapy sessions are for 30 min (or 20 min if you have a membership and are completing our Signature 60 min Recovery Session). Don’t worry, a friendly staff member will help you with setup and operation.
During your session you can kick back and relax in the Recovery Room’s plush leather recliner chairs.
To compliment the physical recovery being taken care of by the NormaTec Compression Therapy, we recommend that you also complete some mental recovery during your session. Take advantage of the Recovery Room’s complimentary eye masks and bring in your own headphones (preferably noise cancelling) to shut out the distractions of the modern world. Nap, meditate or listen to relaxing music for the duration of your session.
