Normatech Recovery Boots in Closter, Montvale, and Park Ridge, NJ

The NormaTec recovery boots are worn to increase blood flow and circulation. created as a type of medical equipment but is now more frequently used by athletes to aid in recovery in between workouts. The boots are worn over the legs and using a controller, the patient can inflate pockets within the garments to achieve a specified pressure. The treatment is used to increase circulation and blood flow, as well as massage the legs, reduce muscle soreness, flush metabolic waste, and reduce the buildup of lactic acid. Wearing the boots has been described as feeling like a deep tissue massage. Regularly using the NormaTec recovery boots has been shown to stimulate muscle recovery in athletes to improve performance and is also often used by those who are pregnant to help release fluid buildup.

NormaTec boots work very similarly to rolling out muscles or receiving massages for improving circulation and increasing blood flow, both of which are highly regarded as important aspects of a healthy and speedy recovery for many people of varying athleticism. Many professional athletes report experiencing significant benefits from using the NormaTec boots during their recovery process, particularly following more intensive exercise days or when they are working out every day. They also report significantly reduced soreness after tougher workouts, allowing them to return to training as quickly and safely as possible. The boots provide dynamic compression, which means that the compression is supplied through pulsing that mimics muscle pumps to enhance blood flow through the entire body and through the limbs to provide plenty of oxygen to the entire body.

The recommended length of time to wear NormaTec boots for recovery from an intensive workout will typically be between 20 to 60 minutes, with most patients opting for around 30-minute sessions. However, this timeline will heavily depend on everyone’s specific needs and goals from the therapy. For just minor soreness or muscle fatigue, patients will only need to use the NormaTec boots for about 20 minutes. Patients who are using this therapy to support a faster recovery or improve their circulation will likely need to use the garment for a longer period per session, with some patients needing the full 60 minutes of treatment. The NormaTec boots can be used up to two times daily but are entirely safe to be used daily, with most people who are not professional athletes using this method of therapy multiple times weekly for around 10 to 20 minutes per session. It is a fast and convenient option that can be completed at your convenience and is often described as a very relaxing therapy, providing you with a few minutes to relax, meditate, or even nap as NormaTec works its magic.

NormaTec compression boots will often provide the most benefits when used following a workout, as they help to speed up the recovery process, which is completed following the appropriate workout cool-down and stretching to reduce inflammation and soreness within the muscles. Using this therapy following a workout will allow you to train harder and more safely the following days while enhancing performance. However, the NormaTec compression boots can also be used before a workout to provide the benefits of increased blood flow, supporting the warmup process by preparing the treated muscles for exercise. So, while it is more common to use NormaTec following a workout, it can also be recommended for use before a workout to provide noticeable benefits.
