You may have seen a new trend or craze recently with people slipping into long black boots (that look like leg warmers) post work. These are called compression boots so in this guidebook we are going to clear up any questions you may have about using our Normatec Compression Boots.
What are Normatec Compression Boots?
NormaTec compression boots are a pair of boots that go around the legs that help improve blood flow & speed up leg recovery times from sports, training, or even leg day at the gym. It is a clinically proven treatment & technique by increasing blood circulation, reduce muscle soreness post work out & help sports athletes & enthusiasts reach higher performance.
How do Normatec Compression Boots work?
Our NormaTec Compression Boots use 3 different techniques to enhance recovery.
Pulsing
Rather than just squeeze the muscle like let’s say when a doctor uses a sphygmomanometer (fancy word for blood pressure checker) to check your BP… NormaTec uses a pulsating technique that copies the natural muscle pump within the human body.
Gradients
In our body, the lymphatic vessels have one-way valves which prevent the build-up of fluid. NormaTec pulse technology uses hold & release pressures to keep all the fluids heading it in the correct way & prevent any backflow of fluid. It is designed to apply maximum pressure in each zone of your legs.
Distal Release
Fixed pressure can negatively impact the circulation flow if applied to one area for too long. So using Sequential Pulse Technology releases the held pressure once no longer needed to the backflow. Each portion of your leg with have ample rest time between compression cycles. This will maximize relaxation to each part of your leg to enhance & speed up your recovery time.
