What is NormaTec PULSE?
The NormaTec PULSE Series is a pneumatic compression device that utilizes patented technology to increase circulation to the limbs. NormaTec was founded by a physician and bioengineer as a medical company to help treat circulatory conditions. They later worked directly with top athletic programs to develop the NormaTec PULSE Series. Using NormaTec’s leg, arm, or hip attachments boosts blood flow and reduces pain and soreness. In addition to these benefits, studies show that NormaTec decreases inflammation, clears metabolites, and increases range of motion.
We have the complete series (leg, arm, and hip attachements) at Runners’ Edge Alaska!
How does it work?
NormaTec pairs compression with a sophisticated massage pattern to mimic the way the muscle pump of the legs and arms, to greatly enhance the movement of fluid and flushes out the limbs. NormaTec utilizes hold pressures similar to the way our veins and lymphatic vessels work to enhance the natural circulatory flow. One feature that sets NormaTec apart, is the distal release feature. This releases hold pressures once they are no longer needed, ensuring that each portion of the limb gains maximal rest time without a significant pause between compression cycles.
What does a recovery session look like?
NormaTec is a clinically proven method to enhance recovery and reduce pain and soreness. During a 30-minute NormaTec Recovery Session:
- The client will first experience a pre-inflate cycle, during which the attachments fill with air to calibrate and mold to their exact body shape.
- The session will then begin by compressing the feet, hands, or upper quad (depending on which attachment you are using.)
- Similar to the kneading and stroking done during a massage, each segment of the attachment will first compress in a pulsing manner and then release.
- This will repeat for each segment of the attachment as the compression pattern works its way up the limb.
Recovery Sessions stimulates blood flow, massages the muscles, and works in harmony with the body’s circulatory system to mobilize fluid out of the extremities and back up towards the heart.
