Normatec Compression Recovery in San Diego

ELATE offers Normatec compression recovery in North Park, San Diego. Normatec uses air-filled sleeves on the legs that inflate and release in pulses. Athletes use it between hard sessions, races and competitions. It's included in the 90-minute Full Performance Reset, and you can ask to add it to other visits.

What it does

Normatec compression therapy uses sleeves that compress and release in sequence. It feels like a firm, rolling squeeze. Many athletes use it for muscle recovery between hard sessions. Many athletes say their legs feel lighter afterward, and it gives you 20 to 30 minutes of real rest.

What it doesn't do

It doesn't flush toxins. It doesn't replace sleep, food or sensible training-load planning. It's a recovery tool, not a treatment for an injury.

Who uses it

• Runners and HYROX athletes during high-mileage blocks

• CrossFit athletes after high-volume leg days

• Cyclists after long rides

• Anyone before or after a competition or travel

How to add it

• Included in the Full Performance Reset (90 minutes, $250)
