Compression therapy does serious recovery work while you do absolutely nothing. Slip into the Normatec™ sleeves, settle into a recliner, and let rhythmic graduated pressure work through your legs, arms, or hips – flushing out metabolic waste, reducing swelling, and pushing fresh oxygenated blood back into tired muscles.
Twenty to thirty minutes. No effort. Legs that feel like they started the day fresh.
Our compression therapy uses the Normatec™ pulse system – the recovery technology trusted by NBA and NFL teams, Olympic athletes, and elite training facilities worldwide. At Body Reset, that same technology is available to every member in Clinton, MD.
Normatec’s dynamic pulse compression mimics the body’s natural muscle pump: sequential chambers inflate and deflate in a precise pattern that actively moves fluid through the lymphatic system, reduces inflammation, and accelerates the body’s own recovery processes.
After hard training or a long day on your feet, metabolic waste — lactic acid, inflammatory fluid, cellular debris — builds up in your muscles and lymphatic system. Normatec's graduated pulse pressure actively flushes that waste out, the same way a deep sports massage would, but with clinical precision and zero discomfort.
Anyone who's finished a long shift, a race, or a full day of movement knows the specific heaviness that settles into your legs by evening. Compression therapy targets that feeling directly by pushing excess fluid back through your system and leaving your legs noticeably lighter within a single session.
As metabolic waste is cleared, fresh oxygenated blood moves back through your muscles and connective tissue — delivering the nutrients your body needs to repair and rebuild. The result is less soreness the following day, faster readiness for your next training session, and less of that "starting from behind" feeling when you wake up.
Fluid retention in soft tissue compresses the space your joints and muscles need to move freely. Regular compression therapy reduces that retention particularly in the hips, quads, and calves and many clients notice measurable improvement in flexibility and ease of movement with consistent use.
There's a particular kind of mental fatigue that comes from physical overload - when your body is too tired to let your mind relax. Twenty minutes of compression, horizontal in a recliner, works as one of the most effective passive resets in the studio. Most members leave calmer, clearer, and ready for the rest of their day.
You'll step in, select your coverage - legs, arms, or hips - and slide into the Normatec™ sleeves while seated comfortably in one of our recliners. No change of clothing required. The sleeves attach over your regular gym wear or casual clothes. Once the session begins, you'll feel rhythmic pulsing pressure that works its way up from your feet (or hands) in a graduated wave - like a very precise, very thorough massage working systematically through each zone. It's deeply relaxing. Most clients close their eyes. Sessions run 20–30 minutes. Our staff will get you set up and check in throughout. There's nothing you need to do except let it work. What to bring: Nothing special. Compression sleeves fit over standard athletic wear or pants.
Whether you're training multiple times a week or recovering from competition, compression therapy is one of the fastest ways to reduce the accumulated fatigue that makes the next session harder than it should be. Stack it with Cold Plunge or Infrared Sauna for a complete recovery protocol that gets you back to full faster.
Nurses, teachers, retail workers, tradespeople, anyone whose workday means standing, walking, and moving through hours of physical demand. By the end of a shift, your legs have done real work. Compression gives them a real reset, not just rest.
Long flights, extended sitting, and sedentary stretches create circulatory stagnation that compounds over time. A compression session before or after travel is one of the most effective tools for managing the swelling, stiffness, and fatigue that comes with it.
If your baseline recovery time feels like it's getting longer - more soreness, more heaviness, more days before you feel ready again - compression therapy directly addresses the physiological reasons that happens. It's not a shortcut. It's how your body was designed to clear out and recharge, with a significant mechanical assist.
Compression therapy is safe and comfortable for most healthy adults. If you have a history of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), uncontrolled blood pressure, active vascular conditions, or open wounds on the treatment area, please consult your physician before booking. Our staff is happy to answer questions before your first session.
This is the post-training combination that addresses recovery from two angles simultaneously. The Cold Plunge drives systemic inflammation reduction and vasoconstriction; compression targets the lymphatic system specifically, flushing metabolic waste and promoting fluid return. Together they produce faster soreness reduction than either delivers alone. Recommended sequence: Cold Plunge first, compression immediately after.
Compression removes the fluid retention and swelling that mechanically limits your range of motion – making the stretching session that follows more effective from the first minute. If flexibility and mobility improvement is your primary goal, this is the most efficient sequence in the studio. Do compression first, stretching second.
Heat increases circulation and loosens tight tissue; compression amplifies the circulatory return by actively moving that increased blood flow through the lymphatic system. Pairing them produces a pronounced warmth and looseness in the legs and hips that persists well beyond either session individually. Ideal for members managing chronic tightness or restricted mobility.
Normatec™ compression therapy at Body Reset Recovery serves athletes and residents across Prince George’s County, Charles County, and Southern Maryland.
Q: What is compression therapy?
A: Compression therapy at Body Reset uses the Normatec™ pulse system – the recovery technology trusted by NBA and NFL teams and Olympic athletes. Sequential chambers in the sleeves inflate and deflate in a precise pattern that actively moves fluid through the lymphatic system, reduces inflammation, and accelerates the body’s natural recovery process. Sessions run 20–30 minutes and are completely passive as you sit back and let the system work.
Q: What does Normatec compression therapy feel like?
A: You’ll feel rhythmic pulsing pressure that works its way up from your feet, hands, or hips in a graduated wave – like a very precise, thorough massage working systematically through each zone. It is deeply relaxing. Most members close their eyes. There is no discomfort.
Q: Who benefits most from compression therapy?
A: Compression therapy is particularly effective for athletes with heavy training loads, professionals who stand or move all day (nurses, teachers, tradespeople), frequent travelers dealing with leg swelling and stiffness, and anyone managing post-workout soreness or slow recovery. The Normatec system addresses the lymphatic drainage and circulatory mechanics that passive rest alone cannot replicate.
Q: How long is a compression therapy session?
A: Sessions run 20–30 minutes. No special clothing or preparation is required – the Normatec sleeves fit over standard athletic wear or pants.
Q: How often should I do compression therapy?
A: Most athletes and active members benefit from 2–4 sessions per week. Daily use is safe and many serious athletes use compression therapy after every training session. Benefits accumulate with regular use particularly for members managing chronic leg heaviness or recurring swelling.
Q: Is compression therapy included in Body Reset memberships?
A: Yes. Compression therapy is included in all Body Reset memberships – Reset, Recharge, Renew, and Founding Member. It is also available as part of a Day Pass with any 3 modalities for $55.
