HOW IT WORKS
Compression Therapy (also known as pressotherapy) uses dynamic air compression to boost circulation, flush out fluid and metabolic waste, and help tired muscles recover faster.
The compression boots, arm sleeves, and hip attachments inflate in a controlled, pulsing sequence, imitating the body's natural muscle pump.
This increases circulation, encouraging blood flow to the heart, draining lymphatic fluid, and easing the soreness that can build up after training, a long flight, or a week on your feet.

on the day
Normatec compression kits can be used fully clothed. For maximum comfort, avoid thick denim, long skirts, and extremely baggy trousers.
The team will show you how to put the compression equipment on and choose the right pressure and settings for your needs.
Then we'll start the session and leave you to relax. If you want to change the pressure or make any adjustments, there's a button you can press to call for help. You can also use the controller to adjust settings yourself.
