The compression technique is beneficial as a form of massage therapy BUT hands free! The latest advancement in compression therapy includes the introduction of NormaTec compression therapy. This is a type of compression technique that uses air packets to compress the body in an advanced manner. Normatec uses a two-phased compression technique. In the first phase, the compression tube uses lower pressure and adjusts the tube diameter according to the width of the body part. Once the perfect match is attained, compression will start. In the compression phase, a massage is given in the form of tube compressions, a patented compression technique used in NormaTec. It compresses the legs, arms, or hips from the downside first and then comes slowly to the upper side. This is similar to professional massage therapy and it perfectly mimics the body recovery process. This compression therapy is far better than compression stockings because it can be adjusted according to the medical condition or worker or athletes demands.
