What Are NormaTec Compression Boots and Their Benefits?

Question

Estou procurando entender lo que son y para que sirven las botas de compresion NormaTec.

Answer 1

NormaTec compression boots have become renowned among athletes for their ability to be used across a variety of rehab settings to enhance circulation while also reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). They work on the principle of circulatory enhancement of the legs in a reverse direction – from toes to the thighs, the same way lymphatic and venous return is improved by means of massage. For athletes who have several events close together, these boots are invaluable as they reduce oxidative damage and could speed up recovery time.

As a senior (76 yr old) with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, I have the option of using the Normatec compression boots twice a month after my three weekly sessions with Osteo Strong.  Increasing circulation and decreasing inflammation seem like a positive benefit.  Sounds like you work with athletes but do you have any pro or con advice for me.  I was given a sheet of indications and conditions, FDA-Cleared Treatment, and Contraindications for Normative Pneumatic Compression for my cardiologist to give the okay.

Thank you for the content. I am 68 years old and suffer from hip and leg pain. I have been in construction work since I was 18. I have been going to Thai massage therapist for a couple of months to work on my lower half. She says that my hips are tilted slightly, leg muscles are tight and not flexible and has given me exercises to do along with my weekly massage. She had suggested that I might also benefit from compression boots in between massages. Your thoughts for use in elderly adults trying to increase mobility using these compression boots?
Thanks,
Bill
