What are Normatec Compression boots?
NormaTec compression boots were originally founded as a medical device, the technology was developed by a physician bioengineer with the goal to help improve blood flow and to speed-up the recovery progress. It is now a clinically proven treatment through further research to increase circulation, reduce pain and to help athletes perform at their best ability.
NormaTec boots are used by a wide variety of people. With few contraindications, they can work well for lots of people for a variety of reasons which include runners, cyclists, swimmers or crossfitters who are trying to either freshen their legs prior to an event or to use in recovery after an event. Those who sit at a desk all day and have fluid build up or poor circulation in their legs will also benefit from using NormaTec boots as well as those who are on their feet all day who have tired achy legs.
What are the advantages of NormaTec Boots?
Instead of squeezing the legs to transport fluid out, NormaTec uses a pulsing mechanism which mimics the naturally occuring muscle pump within our body. Lymphatic vessels have one-way valves that prevent fluid backflow, the pulse technology uses hold pressures to keep everything flowing in the right direction and prevent backflow.
