Dynamic air compression technology is designed to surround an entire limb while pneumatic motions massage the surrounding area with varying levels of pressure. It’s proven to loosen up muscles and knots while reducing pain and soreness naturally and quickly. The targeted nature of compression therapy increases blood flow to a specific area, therefore accelerating the regenerative processes in the targeted muscles through oxygen, nutrient and hormone delivery while also removing metabolic waste which encourages quicker periods of recovery.

We recommend sessions with our Normatec boots before or after your Myodetox session.
