Our Mesa clinic now offers NormaTec Compression Therapy, an advanced dynamic air compression system designed to improve circulation, reduce swelling, decrease muscle soreness, and promote faster recovery.

What Is Compression Therapy?

Compression therapy uses sequential air pressure to gently massage your legs through specialized compression boots. The NormaTec system inflates and deflates individual chambers in a precise pattern that helps encourage healthy blood flow and lymphatic drainage.

Unlike traditional compression garments, NormaTec technology mimics the body’s natural muscle pump, helping move fluid more efficiently throughout the legs.

Many patients describe the treatment as a relaxing massage while receiving therapeutic recovery benefits.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Your session begins by comfortably reclining while the NormaTec compression boots are placed on your legs. The system then delivers gentle, sequential compression that progresses through multiple zones of the legs.

Most treatments last approximately 20–30 minutes and are comfortable enough to relax, read, or simply unwind during your session.

Many patients notice their legs feel lighter, less fatigued, and refreshed following treatment.
