NormaTec is the world leader in Rapid Compression Recovery. It is utilised across the world in by Athletes competing in to name a few AFL, NBA, NFL, Cycling, Athletics, World Soccer Leagues including EPL, Serie –A. Normatec systems are utilised to give a large competitive edge to the worlds best athletes, utilised by coaches and athletic trainers.
The Normatec Pulse Recovery Technology Systems are Dynamic Compression Devices designed specifically for recovery and rehabilitation. The Trademarked PULSE™ Technology is utilised to help athletes recovery faster between trainings and after competitive performance.
Our Normatec Compression Therapy Systems are the latest in the Normatec Range. We are lucky enough to have full body systems (Shoulders + Arms, Hips, Legs, and an Extra Tall System and short for our taller Athletes).
The NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern starts in the foot, hand, or lower hip and moves upwards zone-by-zone massaging the limb and mobilizing fluid out of the extremities.
Created by Physician & Bioengineer Laura F, Jacobs (MD, Phd) to enhance blood flow and speed recovery, NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern employs three key techniques to maximize your recovery.
PULSING: Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, Sequential Pulse Technology uses dynamic compression (pulsing). Our patented pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout.
GRADIENTS: Viens and lymphatic vessels gave one-way valves that prevent fluid backflow. Similarly, NormaTec Pulse Technology uses hold pressures to keep fluids from being forced in the wrong direction. Because of this enhancement, instead of tapering pressure off, the PULSE and PULSE PRO can deliver maximum pressure in every zone.
DISTAL RELEASE: Because extended static pressure can be detrimental to body’s normal circulator flow, Sequential Pulse Technology releases the hold pressures once they are no longer needed to prevent backflow. 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 cycles.
The Normatec Systems include a specialised air pump control unit which plugs into the specified attachments. The unit produces compressed air which is pushed through the chambers of the attachments allowing them complete the pre inflation stage. This stage will ensure the attachments are specific to your exact body shape.
During this phase the compression will begin at your feet hands or upper quads (pending the attachment being used).
It applies compression forces through the chambers similar to those experienced during massage, ie kneading , stroking, compressing each segment of the chambers in a pulsing manner.
This will continue for the time set on the control using moving along each chamber segment moving up and down your limbs.
