If you’re looking to significantly improve your rate of recovery as an athlete or fitness enthusiast, Normatec boots may be the best recovery tool you’ll discover yet!
What are Normatec Recovery Boots?
Normatec boots are a revolutionary new technology that is changing the way athletes and physical therapy patients experience post-workout recovery.
Developed by leading scientists and physiotherapists, Normatec boots employ compression technology to help reduce muscle soreness, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation.
These incredibly comfortable boots fit around your lower legs, providing you with an all-in-one solution for rapid recovery from intense exercise.
How do Normatec Boots Work for Recovery?
The boots use pulsing compression technology to massage the legs, increase circulation, reduce lactic acid build-up, and flush metabolic waste. This helps stimulate muscle recovery after strenuous exercise and leads to improved performance over time.
Normatec boots use a Normatec Pulse Massage Pattern to massage the limb, mobilising fluid out of the extremities, starting from the foot or lower hip and moving upwards, zone-by-zone.
The pattern consists of three techniques which include:
Pulsing
A dynamic form of compression using Sequential Pulse Technology.
The patented pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid out of the limbs.
Gradients
Normatec mimics the one-way valve system of your veins, preventing fluid backflow in the wrong direction, using the Normatec Pulse technology.
Distal Release
The Sequential Pulse Technology intelligently releases hold pressures from the Gradient technique to prevent circulatory flow damage from extended static pressure.
By releasing the hold pressure in each zone as soon as possible, each portion of the limb gains maximal rest time without a significant pause between compression.
Best time to use Normatec Recovery Boots
Normatec recovery boots are an efficient tool in managing general muscle aches and soreness. Therefore, they are best used on the days after gym or sports training sessions.
Similarly, they can be incorporated into a weekly recovery routine for patients and athletes with a high training load to help prevent tightness and soreness.
Normatec Boots are used for 30 minutes at a time and there is no limit on how frequently they can be used.
Generally, once per week is suitable for most people however higher training loads and activity levels may require more frequent use for optimal recovery
