Compression Therapy
At Perth Cryo we are proud to offer the latest and most advanced in Normatec’s compression range- The Normatec 3.
We not only have the Compression boots, but also the hips and arms accessories at all, bringing the power for a full body compression massage.
How Does it Work?
The NormaTec Recovery System consists of a compression device that surrounds your arms, legs, or hips. These compression units then utilize compressed air to massage your limbs, leading to mobilized fluid and faster recovery and recuperation following intense exertion.
The NormaTec Recovery System is an advanced patented compression technology created by a physician bioengineer (MD, PhD) to speed up the recovery time of tired and aching muscle tissues. A highly effective strategy for raising your game, the NormaTec recovery therapy provides a high-tech air compression massage that enhances blood flow throughout the body and mobilises fluid (also known as lymphatic drainage therapy). Elite athletes are now taking advantage of this effective technology for recovery – find out why you should too!
Inflammation occurs when strenuous exercise damages your muscle tissue. This leads to an increase in swelling, sensitising your nerves and causing that familiar sensation of pain and soreness following a hard workout.
Compression Therapy can help! Perth Cryo’s NormaTec system applies external pressure to the muscles. This cuts down the space available for swelling, lessens inflammation and, most importantly, reduces pain and soreness!
When you use our systems, you will first experience a pre-inflate cycle, during which the connected attachments are molded to your exact body shape. The session will then begin by compressing your feet, hands, or upper quad (depending on which attachment you are using).
Similar to the kneading and stroking done during a massage, each segment of the attachment will first compress in a pulsing manner and then release.
This will repeat for each segment of the attachment as the compression pattern works its way up your limb.
WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?
The NormaTec system can be used by anyone, from the elite athlete to the weekend warrior. If you spend a lot of time on your feet all day at work, these are the best wind down tool you can possibly use.
Run on the weekend? You need to try NormaTec!
It is best done as soon as possible after your training session, this will help clear all the lactic acid and metabolites out of your muscles.
You can use our systems for up to an hour if you feel that you need it!
