Compression Therapy

Experience the power of Normatec compression therapy at Healing Rehab – a revolutionary treatment that uses dynamic air compression to enhance circulation, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery. Whether you're an athlete seeking peak performance or dealing with medical conditions like lymphedema, our state-of-the-art Normatec devices provide targeted relief and healing.

How It Works

Normatec's patented Sequential Pulse Technology delivers precision compression through specialized sleeves that:

  • Apply calibrated pressure through 5 overlapping zones
  • Use pulsing compression patterns that mimic natural muscle pumps
  • Prevent fluid backflow with strategic hold pressures
  • Adapt to your exact body shape for optimal treatment

This advanced system moves fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after intense activity or due to medical conditions, promoting faster recovery and reduced swelling.
