NormaTec compression therapy is one of the wellness services we offer here at Recovery Lab of Rancho Cucamonga. These special leg sleeves offer more than just a relaxing, massage-like experience. They also help support the natural processes of your body, encourage swift recovery, and generally lead to improved wellness.
Wondering about the specific uses of Normatec technology and how it can enhance your athletic performance? Read on to discover some of its benefits. Even if you don’t consider yourself athletic or active at all, you can still enjoy the advantages of compression therapy.
Reduces Muscle Soreness
Athletes swear by NormaTec compression to reduce post-workout muscle soreness. While some soreness after working out is normal, excessive post-workout aches or long-lasting soreness can lead to more than just an inconvenience. The negative effects can trickle over into your work life, personal life, and even your athletic life.
After working out, a NormaTec compression therapy session can help with dreaded muscle soreness, which can reduce your downtime between workouts. Faster muscle recovery also means less stiffness, better mobility, and better performance before your next training session.
Enhances Blood Circulation
Poor blood circulation can lead to faster burnout during workouts, sluggish removal of wastes, an increase in muscle soreness, and delayed recovery. In addition, it can increase your risk of injury, especially when working out or lifting heavy objects.
Through NormaTec compression therapy, the user will experience improved blood flow. The pressure of these sleeves helps push oxygen-rich blood back to the heart. As a result, this means damaged tissues throughout the body are able to recover quicker, blood won’t pool in your extremities, and your muscles will stay energized longer.
Tackles Inflammation
Inflammation is any athlete’s worst enemy. While inflammation is natural and can even be useful to some degree, in other cases, it can lead to a host of inconvenient symptoms. Inflammation can lead to pain, fatigue, and even reduced immune system function. Additionally, it can lead to significant downtime between workouts.
NormaTec compression can help take care of inflammation. With its pulsating and squeezing effect on the legs, it helps move around a buildup of fluid. And thanks to improved blood circulation, the body is able to deliver essential nutrients where they are needed, which eliminates the need for inflammation.
Encourages Waste Removal
The buildup of toxins and post-workout lactic acid can lead to muscle soreness, stiffness, and a reduced range of motion. While the lymphatic system, immune system, and circulatory system in the body are some of the systems in charge of toxin removal, sometimes the body struggles to adequately do its job.
Thanks to compression therapy, waste products stuck within the tissues of the body can promptly be cleared out. With its ability to mimic muscle contractions, it helps stimulate lymphatic drainage and encourage the movement of fluid to carry out excess waste. This means your legs will feel lighter, less stiff, and more mobile afterward.
