The NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern - How does it work?

The dynamic compression device uses compressed air to massage the legs, mobilize fluid and fight inflammation. The legs are inserted into sleeves that are inflated to compress the muscles. The compression system then pulses up the legs, squeezing pain-causing fluid, lactic acid and toxins out of them. The legs are then replenished with fresh blood, stimulating recovery.
