Recovering properly after an injury is essential to regaining your full level of performance. Giving your body and mind the right amount of time—and the right tools—to heal can make a significant difference. According to studies from the Chiropractic Association, using tools such as Normatec compression boots can help speed up recovery and support overall wellness.
Here are five key benefits you can expect when you use Normatec compression boots at MOVATI:
- Shortens Healing Time
Reducing swelling and tension in the injured area can help accelerate recovery. Normatec compression boots support this process, helping your body heal more efficiently. Faster recovery means you can make better use of your rest periods and return to your routine sooner. These boots also help lower oxidative stress in your muscles as you rest and recover from training.
- Increases Flexibility and Range of Motion
A good range of motion (ROM) is essential for performing a variety of movements and activities. Injuries can limit this mobility, but Normatec compression boots promote better muscle recovery, which can help restore your ROM more quickly. Regaining flexibility can also build confidence as you get back to your workouts.
- Improves Circulation
Significant foot or leg injuries can restrict blood flow, slowing the healing process. Normatec compression boots help stimulate circulation, ensuring that oxygen and nutrients reach the injured tissues. This improved circulation supports faster repair and enhances overall well-being.
- Reduces Water Retention and Swelling
Compression can help keep excess fluid from collecting in the injured area, which reduces swelling. By controlling fluid buildup, Normatec boots support stabilization and help injured tissues repair more effectively.
- Reduces Pain Sensitivity
Injuries to the legs or feet often cause pain due to damaged tissue, nerves, or blood vessels. Normatec compression boots can help decrease pain sensitivity, making it easier to focus on therapy and recovery.
Why People Use Normatec Compression Boots
Normatec compression boots can benefit a wide range of people—not just athletes. Speaking with your doctor or a qualified health professional can help you determine the best way to incorporate them into your recovery or wellness routine.
Common reasons people use Normatec compression boots include:
- Pre-event muscle prep: CrossFitters, cyclists, runners, and swimmers often use these boots to refresh their legs before a race or event.
- Reducing fluid buildup: Pregnant women in their third trimester may use them to help decrease swelling in the legs.
- Improving circulation: People with desk jobs can use compression boots to reduce fluid buildup from sitting for long periods.
- Relieving soreness and strain: Individuals who stand or walk all day—and athletes recovering from training—often use the boots to ease muscle tension and pain.
