Similar to a massage, NormaTec compression therapy applies pressure on the legs and other areas of the body.

From Olympic athletes to LeBron James, NormaTec compression technology is used daily by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NCAA players<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL teams<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The US Olympic Committee<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">US Navy SEALs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the world&#8217;s best triathletes, cyclists, and runners <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>The Benefits of NormaTec Compression Therapy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NormaTec Recovery Systems enhance blood flow to speed the body\u2019s normal recovery process. This helps keep athletes fresh so that they can maximize performance.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NormaTec helps athletes recover faster between training and after competitions, so they can train harder and perform better. Studies have also shown it enhances flexibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The NormaTec Treatment Process<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike cryotherapy, compression therapy doesn\u2019t use ice. Instead, NormaTec uses compressed air to massage your arms, legs or hips. In a 20- to 30-minute session, the patented technology first molds to your body shape, then compresses your feet, hands or upper quads, before working its way up your limb. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The massage pattern is also patented, and based on physiology. Like with a traditional massage, it compresses in a pulsing manner and then releases. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interested in trying it for yourself?
