Why you should be using our new Normatec Compression Boots!

The use of Normatec Boots in Neurological Rehabilitation

In the field of Neurological rehabilitation new therapy modalities continue to redefine and recreate the possibilities of recovery and rehabilitation. Among these innovations the Normatec boots have emerged as a revolutionary tool offering significant benefits for individuals undergoing therapy for neurological conditions.

What are Normatec boots

Normatec boots utilise pneumatic compression technology to enhance circulation and facilitate recovery in the legs and arms. Originally developed for athletes to accelerate muscle recovery, these boots have found compelling application in neurological rehabilitation setting.

Benefits in Neurological Rehabilitation

• Improved Circulation: Many Neurological conditions can impair circulation leading to swelling, discomfort, and reduced mobility. Normatec boots help stimulate blood flow through sequential compression, which mimics the body’s natural muscle pump action. This process reduces swelling, enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, and promotes overall vascular health.
• Reduced Muscle spasticity: Muscle spasticity, a common challenge in neurological rehabilitation, can cause stiffness and involuntary muscle contractions. Normatec boots aid in relaxing muscles through gentle compression, alleviating spasticity and improving range of motion. This is particularly beneficial for stroke, multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury athletes.
• Pain management: Chronic pain often accompanies neurological conditions. Normatec boots provide relief, reducing inflammation and promoting muscle recovery and blood flow, significantly aiding to reduce pain symptoms. By enhancing circulation and oxygenation the Normatec boots support the body’s natural healing processes and contribute to pain reduction over time.
• Enhanced Recovery Post-exercise: Exercise based therapy is crucial in Neurological rehabilitation to promote strength and mobility functional improvements. Normatec boots aid in recovery post exercise by accelerating to removal of metabolic waste products. This helps reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, allowing athletes to engage in more frequent and effective rehabilitation sessions.
