Normatec Compression Therapy in San Antonio
How Normatec Compression Therapy in San Antonio Works
Normatec compression technology accelerates your body’s natural healing process by increasing blood flow to your muscle to promote cellular repair and protein production, stimulating lymphatic drainage to reduce inflammation and swelling, and mobilizing waste products like lactic acid. You’ll feel less stiffness and soreness as well as greater mobility and flexibility. The Normatec compression technology is complementary to all of our patients and part of our recovery room. All of our patients have access to them after or before their appointments. In addition, patients can come in and use them even if they don’t have an appointment scheduled.
Important to remember that recovery speed depends on many factors such as age, fitness level, diet, and sleep. The Normatec recovery program can dramatically reduce your recovery time, regardless of your circumstances. Normatec is based on existing medical technology which uses dynamic compression. Dynamic compression has been proven to be beneficial through years of medical research and clinical application. Intermittent compression devices are great for athletes who need to constantly heal and recover as they push the limits of their bodies.
