Blood Flow. The overarching theme in keeping healthy and or healing the body’s muscles, ligaments and tendons is blood flow! The more blood flow you get to an area the more nutrients that area receives. It really is as simple as that. You’ll find this is a theme to our recovery suite that will repeat itself in each of the products available to you. 

If you have spoken with any of the coaches about your longevity in not only the gym, but life, you have almost certainly heard that self care is of the upmost importance. If you don’t learn to take care of yourself the small aches and pains will eventually lead to large potentially injurious ones.

How do I use it?

Check out our video for how to put each piece on. After that pull out one of the lounge chairs and relax! The Normatec system does the rest. 

*Note: remove any jewelry or shop objects prior to use! This is extremely important. You are mixing high pressure with what is essentially a balloon.* 

You can use it before or after your workout. 

If before, it can be utilized like a short massage. 10-20 minutes at moderate intensity is recommended. 

After you can go as long as you like but 20-60 minutes if recommenced at a moderate to high intensity. 

When using it on an off day higher intensity is not always better. A longer more moderate to light session can be very beneficial.
