After exercise or a long day at work where you are either standing or sitting all day, the blood tends to pool or collect in the veins. In both situations, the blood in our blood vessels expands making it difficult for it to return to the heart. This is what causes the swelling and soreness.

Normatec Compression Therapy activates the blood flow ensuring the fluid leaves the limbs.

Studies show compression therapy can help relieve muscle aches/pains and increase circulation. This results in an increased flexibility, improved range of motion, injury prevention, and accelerated recovery time.

And through the use of the top rated Normatec system, compression therapy will change how you recover from your sport.

When can Compression Therapy be used?

Compression Therapy is more than just a treatment for recovery from athletic events. Healthcare providers suggest using Compression Therapy for conditions that arise from poor circulation. It can make a big difference in managing these issues and promoting better blood flow.

Below are some examples of how Compression Therapy can help treat specific conditions. Always seek the support of your Healthcare provider first if you suffer from one of the conditions below and are considering Compression Therapy.

Dealing with chronic venous insufficiency?

This is a common issue that affects the veins in your legs. It happens when the veins' walls are weak and the valves inside them don't function properly. As a result, the flow of blood from your legs to your heart is affected, leading to a build-up of blood in the legs.

Factors like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), aging, and prolonged sitting or standing can contribute to this condition. Luckily, compression therapy can help alleviate chronic venous insufficiency by gently squeezing your leg muscles to assist in moving blood back to your heart against gravity.

Do you have varicose veins?

They are those raised, winding ropes under your skin caused by chronic venous insufficiency. If you're experiencing swelling and pain, compression therapy can be a helpful solution.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

As noted earlier, this type of blood clot forms in a deep vein within the body, usually in a leg. When the clot obstructs blood flow, it can lead to the accumulation of blood and swelling behind it.

If you're at risk of deep vein thrombosis, healthcare providers might suggest compression therapy for you.

Deep vein thromboses may develop due to various factors such as carrying extra weight, undergoing chemotherapy, lack of physical activity or being immobile, and during pregnancy or postpartum period.

If you have deep vein thrombosis and take blood thinners, it might be a good idea to consider compression therapy. Before you begin, it's a good idea to talk to your healthcare provider to see if it's the right choice for you.

Swelling (edema) in the feet, ankles, or legs

We all experience swelling when fluid gets trapped in our tissues. Due to gravity, fluid tends to gather in our legs, but our amazing bodies have numerous ways to prevent this. Yet, there are situations where pooling can still happen.
