NormaTec Compression Therapy in Crofton, MD

If you’re looking for a better way to recover from intense training or competitive events, NormaTec Compression Therapy may be the answer you’ve been looking for. Compression therapy coupled with cryotherapy could significantly speed up your recovery time.

Our team at Maryland Cryotherapy in Crofton, MD, utilizes NormaTec Compression Therapy to assist athletes with recovery and rehabilitation following intensive workouts. This sleeve-like massage therapy method helps rid muscles of lactic acid and lymphatic fluids, clearing the way for enhanced recovery and shorter downtime between workouts. While this method is most popular among athletes, it can also be beneficial for anyone dealing with poor circulation or working on their feet all day. Whether you’re recovering from a marathon or interested in improving circulation following a day on your feet, our team at Maryland Cryotherapy is here to help.

What Is NormaTec Compression Therapy?

NormaTec Compression Therapy is a cutting-edge recovery system that helps athletes recover and rehabilitate between training sessions or following competitive events. The NormaTec PULSE 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. Instead of simply squeezing the limb using static compression, this innovative technology utilizes pulsing, similar to what you would experience in a manual massage. The pulsing alternates between different zones while other areas hold, improving the movement of fluid out of the limbs.

The completely digital system allows for customized, straightforward control of your recovery compression therapy experience. The design of the system molds to your exact body shape when you first turn it on during a pre-inflate cycle. That allows it to provide a snug, custom compression therapy massage just for you.

Benefits of Compression Therapy

Compression therapy is an extremely effective recovery method following intense workouts, helping reduce soreness and enhance flexibility and range of motion. It works by improving the movement of lymphatic fluids out of your muscles, sending blood flow back into the area to remove waste products and reduce inflammation. While many athletes have long used compression shorts or compression socks for a similar effect, NormaTec provides an enhanced compression therapy experience. Some of the benefits include:

  • Flushing of lymphatic fluids and lactic acids, helping remove toxins from your muscles
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Improved circulation
  • Reduced water accumulation
  • Accelerated recovery and rehabilitation

These benefits make NormaTec the go-to compression therapy method following endurance workouts like marathons or recovering between training sessions.

Who Is NormaTec Compression Therapy Right For?

NormaTec Compression Therapy is most well-known among athletes for its superior rehabilitation capacity leading to a fast recovery and improved performance. But that doesn’t mean it’s only for athletes. Anyone who deals with poor circulation or who is standing on their feet all day at work can benefit from NormaTec Compression Therapy. Construction workers, nurses, and doctors who are on their feet most of the day often have poor circulation and can deal with chronic pain as a result. People with diabetes, varicose veins, and other poor circulation conditions can also develop pain in their muscles. Compression therapy offers a solution for improving circulation and providing pain relief.
