Increase Circulation
Compression Boots
Peristaltic pulse dynamic compression (PPDC) has long been used by athletes to boost blood flow and remove metabolites from the body. But when athletes at the U.S. Olympic Training Center Recovery Center used these devices for their recovery, they experienced something unexpected: a rapid increase in their flexibility. This sparked further study on the effects of PPDC—and fostered widespread use of such devices, which use rhythmic applications of pressures on the limbs.
After putting on the NormaTec boots, you’ll experience a pre-inflate cycle, during which the boots mold to your exact body shape. Next comes dynamic compression, which is similar to the kneading and stroking you experience during a massage. This pulsing pattern works its way up your limb to mobilize fluid and metabolites. By utilizing gradient technology, the boots keep fluids from being forced in the wrong direction while providing maximum pressure in every zone. Extended static pressure can be detrimental to the body’s circulation; NormaTec boots use distal release to end its “hold” pressure in each zone as soon as possible. This maximizes rest time without causing a significant pause between compression cycles.
Health and Wellness Benefits
- Increases flexibility: Rapidly enhances the acute range of motion faster, with no discomfort.
- Decreases sensitivity to pain: Accelerates and enhances recovery by reducing muscle tenderness from pressure, allowing you to experience more pressure before experiencing pain.
- Curbs muscle fatigue: Increases blood flow to lower extremities, which helps manage exercise-induced delayed onset muscle soreness.
- Enhances recovery: Lowers creatine kinase (CK), a marker of muscle damage.
