At The Odyssey Spa, we understand the importance of adequate recovery methods in enhancing performance, preventing injuries, and ensuring you’re always ready for your next challenge. That’s why we’re proud to offer NormaTec Compression Boots. A cutting-edge solution designed to help athletes and fitness enthusiasts with enhanced recovery. Not an athlete? NormaTec also benefits those who cannot exercise or require extra assistance with fluid retention, lymphatic drainage or aching joints.
What is NormaTec Compression?
NormaTec Compression is an innovative recovery method that uses compression to enhance blood flow and speed up recovery. The therapy involves wearing specialised compression boots that encase the legs and rhythmically inflate and deflate to mimic the body’s natural muscle contractions, thereby promoting the movement of fluid through the veins and lymphatic system.
NormaTec Compression Benefits
Enhanced Recovery Speed
By improving blood circulation, NormaTec Compression helps to reduce muscle soreness and decrease recovery time. This means you can return to your training sessions sooner and with less discomfort.
Reduced Muscle Fatigue and Soreness
Compression reduces muscle swelling and lactic acid build up, which are common causes of muscle fatigue and soreness after workouts.
Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion
Regular use of NormaTec Compression can lead to increased flexibility and range of motion, contributing to better performance and reduced risk of injury.
Optimal Performance
By incorporating NormaTec Compression Therapy into your recovery routine, you can maintain a higher training intensity and frequency, improving overall performance.
Convenience and Comfort
NormaTec Compression Therapy is a non-invasive, comfortable, and convenient way to boost your recovery. The sessions can be easily integrated into your regular training schedule without special preparation or downtime.
