  • Featuring NormaTec's pioneering Pulse Massage Pattern, our therapy delivers a unique and effective compression experience, significantly enhancing circulation and recovery speed.

At Awaken Wellness and Recovery, we take pride in offering a superior recovery experience through our advanced Compression Therapy, featuring the state-of-the-art NormaTec technology. This system encompasses specialized attachments designed for full legs, hips, lower back, and arms, allowing for a targeted approach to addressing various body areas and specific recovery needs. The essence of our therapy lies in NormaTec's innovative Pulse Massage Pattern technology, which brilliantly combines pulsing, gradients, and distal release to mimic the natural rhythms of the body's muscle movements.

The pulsing mechanism is a key feature, effectively mobilizing fluid in the limbs, akin to the body’s own muscular contractions, thereby enhancing the movement of fluids and metabolites out of the limbs. This is particularly beneficial following intense physical activity or in recovery from injuries. The gradient holds are meticulously calibrated to apply varying pressures along the limb, ensuring optimal blood flow and lymphatic drainage, crucial for reducing inflammation and enhancing recovery. The distal release function ensures that each section of the limb receives the maximum therapeutic benefit without the risk of backflow, allowing for a more efficient and comfortable recovery process.

This comprehensive method not only accelerates muscle recovery and reduces soreness but also contributes significantly to overall circulatory health. It's especially advantageous for athletes looking to enhance their performance and reduce downtime, as well as for individuals recovering from physical strain, surgery, or seeking to improve general wellness. Our Compression Therapy with NormaTec at Awaken Wellness and Recovery is more than just a treatment; it's a personalized journey to rejuvenation, combining the latest in recovery science with individual care to provide an unmatched, holistic healing experience.

HOW IT WORKS

  • The therapy starts by enveloping the targeted limbs (legs, arms, hips) in specialized compression devices. These devices apply calibrated, controlled pressure to the area, similar to a firm, rhythmic massage.

  • The compression follows a sequential pattern, starting distally (farthest from the core) and moving proximally (closer to the core). This pattern is designed to mimic natural muscle contractions, promoting the movement of blood and lymphatic fluids back toward the heart.

  • The pressure aids in improving circulation, driving blood flow enriched with oxygen and nutrients back to the muscles and tissues. This process is crucial for healing and recovery.

  • Compression Therapy is particularly effective in stimulating the lymphatic system, crucial for removing waste products, excess fluid, and toxins from the body.

  • The therapy effectively reduces swelling and edema, particularly in the limbs, by encouraging the dispersion and drainage of fluid buildup.

  • The improved circulation and lymphatic flow help alleviate muscle soreness and accelerate recovery from muscle fatigue, particularly after intense physical activity.

  • Regular use of Compression Therapy can aid in injury recovery and prevention by maintaining healthy blood flow and reducing the risk of circulatory issues.

  • The therapy can improve flexibility and joint health by gently stretching the limbs and surrounding tissues, reducing the risk of strains and sprains.

  • After a session, clients often experience a feeling of lightness and relief in the treated areas, with reduced sensations of heaviness and fatigue.

  • Over time, regular sessions can contribute to overall wellness, improved athletic performance, and reduced recovery times, making it an integral part of a holistic health regimen.
