Compression Therapy

NormaTec Compression Therapy :

Compression Therapy uses compression garments, on the legs, to achieve positive health outcomes such as increased blood flow and decreased recovery times from exercise. Clients with circulatory issues may find that blood does not adequately circulate from the legs to the rest of the body. The use of compression therapy can help address this issue. Hence, for the best possible results, special compression boots can be used that inflate and deflate to provide dynamic compression across the entire leg. At Massage Land we use a NormaTec Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) System. Not to mention, IPC is specifically designed to suit the needs of athletes and is considered by many to be the best in class for compression therapy.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Compression Therapy has many benefits, especially for atheletes and those with poor blood flow. Some of the benefits of Compression Therapy may include:

• Improved circulation
• Decreased exercise recovery time
• Improved lymphatic function
• Increased range of motion
• Relief from arthritis
• Reduction in swelling (toning effect)
• Relief from knee pain

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING A SESSION AT MASSAGE LAND?

As the highest-rated massage therapist in Tamworth, we pride ourselves on offering all manner of therapeutic solutions to meet your needs.

During a Compression Therapy session, you will wear the NormaTec boots for 30 minutes as they go through a full treatment cycle. The boots will inflate and deflate continuously over the course of your session to provide compression treatment to your legs, much like an autonomous massage, and in doing so you will receive the aforementioned circulatory and other therapeutic benefits.

NormaTec compression therapy is almost universally received as something that is quite relaxing and pleasant. Here at Massage Land we recommend using compression therapy as an excellent choice to follow-up a tough workout, and should be done after every workout for the best possible outcomes.
