What Is NormaTec Compression Therapy?
NormaTec is an advanced dynamic air compression system developed by Hyperice. Specialized sleeves are placed around the legs, hips, or arms and gradually inflate and release in a rhythmic pattern.
Instead of applying constant pressure, NormaTec uses sequential compression through overlapping zones to create a restorative massage-like experience. The pressure can be adjusted based on your comfort level and recovery goals.
NormaTec technology is designed to help increase circulation, revive tired muscles, reduce tension and swelling, and support recovery.

Benefits of NormaTec Compression Therapy
Support Muscle Recovery
Dynamic compression can be used before or after physical activity. NormaTec is designed to support circulation and help reduce muscle soreness so your body feels refreshed and ready for what’s next.
Temporarily Increase Circulation
The rhythmic inflation and release of the compression sleeves creates a pumping action designed to temporarily increase circulation throughout the treatment area.
Relieve Tired, Sore Muscles
Compression therapy can be especially enjoyable after workouts, long shifts, travel, golf, running, or other activities that leave your muscles feeling tired.
Reduce Tension & Swelling
NormaTec lists temporary relief of muscle aches and pain, increased circulation, accelerated warm-up and recovery, and reduced tension and swelling among the intended benefits of its dynamic air compression technology.
Relax While You Recover
One of the best parts is that you don’t have to do anything. Sit back, relax, read, scroll your phone, or simply unplug while NormaTec does the work.
Who Is Compression Therapy For?
You don’t have to be a professional athlete to benefit from recovery. NormaTec Compression Therapy may be a great addition to your routine if you:
- Work out regularly
- Run, cycle, lift weights, or play sports
- Golf frequently
- Spend long hours standing or walking
- Have physically demanding workdays
- Travel frequently
- Experience tired or sore muscles after activity

NormaTec is used by professional athletes, but the technology is also designed for recreational athletes and active individuals of different fitness levels.
What to Expect During Your Session
Your session is simple and relaxing. Choose the legs, hips, or arms you would like to target. We’ll help you get comfortable and place the appropriate NormaTec attachments over the treatment area.
Once your session begins, the attachments progressively inflate and release, creating waves of compression. The pressure can be adjusted so your session feels comfortable. Then all you have to do is sit back and recover.
