Compression Sleeves

What are compression sleeves?

At Optimum Peak Wellness, we use Normatec technology compression sleeves that deliver sequential pneumatic compression. The sleeves fit over your legs, arms, or hips and fill with air in a specific pattern that mimics the natural muscle-pump action of your body, pushing fluid and metabolic waste out of your limbs while bringing in fresh, oxygenated blood.

Normatec creates a massage-like pulsing sensation that actively moves fluid through your tissues. This dynamic approach offers more effective recovery support than garments that steadily pressure your muscles.

How do compression sleeves speed recovery?

Compression sleeves support your body’s natural recovery processes through:

Waste removal

After intense exercise, metabolic waste products, like lactic acid, accumulate in your muscles. The pulsing compression helps flush these byproducts out of your tissues.

Improved circulation

The sequential pressure pattern enhances blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients that your muscles need for repair.

Reduced swelling and inflammation

The compression helps move excess fluid out of tired muscles and joints, decreasing soreness and speeding up your return to training.

What does a compression sleeve session feel like?

During your session, you put on the compression sleeves and relax while the system runs through its cycle. You feel the sleeves inflate and deflate in zones, creating a squeezing sensation that moves up your limbs. Most people find it relaxing, similar to a massage.

Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes, and you can adjust the pressure to your comfort level. Many people use the time to rest, scroll on their phone, or unwind after a hard workout.

Who benefits from compression sleeves?

Compression sleeves can help you recover faster and stay consistent with your training if you’re:

• An athlete recovering from intense training or competition 
• Dealing with muscle soreness and needing faster recovery between workouts 
• Experiencing swelling or inflammation in your legs or arms 
• Preparing for upcoming events or competitions

The team often pairs Normatec with other recovery modalities, such as saunas or massage therapy, which can produce better results than using any single approach alone.
