The Normatec system uses a series of air-compression sleeves that wrap around the legs, arms, or hips. These sleeves inflate and deflate in a rhythmic pattern to provide a gentle massage-like effect, stimulating blood flow and lymphatic drainage.
The benefits of Hyperice compression therapy can include:
- Reduced Muscle Soreness: It helps to flush out metabolic waste products like lactic acid that build up after intense physical activity.
- Improved Circulation: The compression helps to enhance blood flow, promoting oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles and tissues, which speeds up recovery.
- Decreased Swelling and Inflammation: By promoting lymphatic drainage, compression therapy can help reduce swelling and inflammation in the muscles and joints.
- Enhanced Flexibility: Regular use may help reduce muscle tightness and improve flexibility over time.
