Normatec Recovery Boots in Essendon
If your legs feel heavy, tight, or simply “done” after training, travel, or long days on your feet, Normatec Recovery Boots may be a helpful recovery add-on. This service is commonly chosen by athletes, runners, gym goers, and people managing leg or ankle swelling, including those with lymphoedema. It can also suit people easing back after a muscle injury, when appropriate.
How the Boots Work
Normatec uses dynamic air compression across five overlapping zones through the legs and hips. The pressure and sequence are adjustable to your comfort and goals. Sessions can be set within a broad pressure range from 30 to 110 mmHg. Lower settings are often preferred for lymphoedema support, while higher settings may suit more robust recovery preferences.
What to Expect in Your Session
Your visit begins with a brief consultation and a chat about what you want from the session. You can choose to lie flat or sit comfortably. Most sessions run for 30 minutes, with up to one hour available if you require it. During the session, people often describe a relaxing, rhythmic pulsing with gentle pressure and some light vibration. It should not hurt. If it feels sore or too tight, the pressure can be reduced. Many people choose to allow 24 to 48 hours between sessions, depending on their goals.
Who It May Not Suit
Normatec is not suitable for people with:
- Open wounds
- Skin infections
- Easy bruising or a recent traumatic injury
- Suspected or known acute deep vein thrombosis
- Severe atherosclerosis or ischaemic vascular disease
- Severe congestive cardiac failure
- Existing pulmonary oedema
- Existing pulmonary embolism
- Extreme deformity of the limbs
If you have cardiovascular disease or peripheral vascular disease, please speak with your GP before booking. You can also talk with our team if you have any concerns.
