Air Relax Vs. NormaTec – The Best Air Pressure Massage Systems

Air Relax

• It allows you to refuel, re-hydrate, relax and recover
• Provides the competitive edge to reduce muscle fatigue
• Boosts your performance and takes you to the next level Maximizes the ability to refuel, re-hydrate, relax and recover
• Daily recovery solution integrated into the training programs
• Provides the competitive edge to reduce muscle fatigue
• The compression technique in Air Relax improves blood circulation, promotes lymphatic fluid movement, helps remove lactic acid, reduces inflammation, soreness, stiffness and improves flexibility

NormaTec

• It helps in muscle recovery, inflammation reduction, and fatigue/soreness management.
• During physical exercise, the muscles are stressed in a way that it disrupts the fibres
• This temporarily leads to inflammation in the muscles as well as the creation of metabolic waste (lactate, bicarbonate, etc…). With the swelling/inflammation in conjunction with the small tears in muscle fibres, you can experience soreness, fatigue, and decreased muscle strength.
• The compression temporarily provides increased blood circulation to a targeted area. This acceleration of the blood flow leads to an increase in oxygen to the muscles, it helps move the blood towards the heart, and it assists in flushing the body of metabolic waste. Our lymphatic and vascular systems naturally help our bodies accomplish this, but pneumatic compression can do so more efficiently
• Three techniques are employed in massaging which makes the massaging very effective and ensures that the result is very fast:
• PULSING Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to move fluid out of the limbs, Norma Tec utilizes dynamic compression (pulsing). 
• This is highly effective to enhance the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout.
• GRADIENTS NormaTec uses hold pressures to keep fluids from being forced in the wrong direction. Hence instead of tapering pressure off, the PULSE and PULSE PRO can deliver maximum pressure in every zone.
• DISTAL RELEASE: Extended static pressure can be harmful to the body’s normal circulatory flow. Hence, sequential Pulse Technology releases the hold pressures once they are no longer required to prevent the backflow.
• By releasing the hold pressure in each zone, each portion of the limb gets an optimum amount of rest time without much pause between the compression cycles.
