FAQ
Normatec Compression Therapy is a science-backed recovery system that uses dynamic air compression to enhance circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and accelerate recovery. Designed by doctors and used by elite athletes, Normatec delivers targeted pressure through specialized sleeves worn on the legs, arms, or hips. These sleeves inflate and deflate in a precise sequence to mimic the body’s natural muscle contractions — helping flush out toxins, reduce inflammation, and restore fresh oxygenated blood to your muscles. At GOAT Wellness in Chicago, Normatec Compression Therapy is your go-to recovery solution for improved performance, faster healing, and total-body rejuvenation.
Normatec uses advanced dynamic air compression technology to boost circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and speed up recovery. The system features overlapping chambers that rhythmically inflate and deflate, mimicking the body’s natural muscle pump and one-way valves. This compression pattern helps move fluid and metabolic waste out of your limbs while increasing oxygen-rich blood flow back to your muscles. The result? Faster recovery, reduced swelling, and enhanced performance — whether you’re an athlete, fitness enthusiast, or simply on your feet all day. At GOAT Wellness, Normatec sessions help you recover smarter and get back to dominating faster.

The difference between Normatec and basic compression sleeves comes down to technology, precision, and results.
Basic compression sleeves provide constant, static pressure — helpful for mild support and circulation but limited in recovery impact. In contrast, Normatec uses dynamic air compression, meaning the sleeves inflate and deflate in a precise pulse pattern that mimics the body’s natural muscle contractions. This sequential compression helps flush out lactic acid, reduce inflammation, and boost oxygen-rich blood flow far more effectively than static sleeves.
At GOAT Wellness in Chicago, Normatec delivers a smarter, science-backed recovery experience — giving you measurable improvements in circulation, muscle recovery, and overall performance that basic compression gear simply can’t match.
Yes — Normatec Compression Therapy is highly effective for supporting lymphatic drainage.

At GOAT Wellness in Chicago, many clients use Normatec as part of a detox or recovery routine to improve lymphatic flow, reduce inflammation, and restore overall balance. It’s a science-backed, non-invasive way to boost your body’s natural drainage system and feel lighter, leaner, and more energized.
