What is NormaTec?
If you are a triathlete, runner, cyclist, basketball player, football player, or any other type of athlete looking for maximum recovery and performance, the Sequential Pulse Technology behind Normatec can help ensure your muscles are at their healthiest.
Normatec was developed by a physician bioengineer (MD, PhD) in order to improve upon existing external dynamic compression tools as a natural healing therapy. By replacing older compression-pump type therapies with patented Sequential Pulse Technology, the Normatec Recovery System became a key tool in treating soft tissue injury and accelerating recovery time. As little as 20 minutes of treatment after a workout can greatly accelerate the soft tissue healing process.
NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern employs three key techniques to maximize your recovery:
PULSING:
Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, Sequential Pulse Technology uses dynamic compression (pulsing). Our patented pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout.
GRADIENTS:
Vein and lymphatic vessels have one-way valves that prevent fluid backflow. Similarly, NormaTec Pulse Technology uses hold pressures to keep fluids from being forced in the wrong direction. Because of this enhancement, instead of tapering pressure off, the Pulse can deliver maximum pressure in every zone.
DISTAL RELEASE:
Because extended static pressure can be detrimental to the body’s normal circulatory flow, Sequential Pulse Technology releases the hold pressures once they are no longer needed to prevent backflow. By releasing the hold pressure in each zone as soon as possible, each portion of the limb gains maximum rest time without a significant pause between compression cycles.
Though highly effective as its own treatment method, Normatec can be combined with Whole Body Cryotherapy to achieve an even higher level of soft tissue recovery and performance. WBC causes the body to transport blood to the core in order to heat and purify it. When proceeded by Cryotherapy, Normatec can ensure that this purified blood is transported and circulated throughout the entire body as efficiently as possible.
