Kick back in your personal wellness pod for an incredible recovery session that feels really damn good.
Compression is an effective method by which controlled pressure is applied to your legs in order to increase blood flow and the efficiency of the lymphatic and venous systems. Vortex proudly uses the Normatec Pro recovery system – an incredible dynamic compression technology that uses compressed air to mobilize fluid and improve circulation.
Engineered for the world’s best athletes, the Normatec Pro is packed with patented and proven technology so you can warm up quickly, recover faster, and feel fully revived with the restorative massage it gives you. Step into your power boots or strap on the hip attachment depending on what your body needs. We’ll set you up in one of our Pods where you’ll pair your session with some reading, meditation, mindfulness exercises or Netflix.
The compression session works by applying contracting pressure to areas of restricted flow by easing the internal pressure of the veins. This loosening decreases pressure on the venous system and helps aid the body in moving blood towards the heart. It also engages a process called “lymphatic flush” which helps facilitate a decrease in swelling, inflammation and a removal of cellular waste products.
For all you fitness fanatics – have no fear of the aftermath of leg day. With its ability to break up and flush out lactic acid, the compression session greatly reduces delayed onset muscles soreness.
So whether you’re fresh off the slopes or bike trails and want to step into some recovery, or you just want a robot to massage your legs or hips for a while – the compression session truly is a game changer!
Are there size restrictions?
For leg compression sessions, we have three sizes of boots:
The standard boot - for people with 28-34" inseam and thigh circumference less than 29".
The short boot - for people with less than 28" inseam and thigh circumference less than 26".
The power boot - for people with 28-35" inseam and thigh circumference from 29-36".
For hip compression sessions, the shorts are "one size fits most" with a less than 29" thigh width and 53" waist circumference.
