Modality · What it does & why
Compression therapy benefits, explained.
Compression therapy — specifically Normatec pneumatic compression — is a favorite of pro athletes for one reason: it flushes tired tissue, faster than lying on the couch ever will. Here's exactly what it does and who should use it.
We run Normatec at Muscle Therapy Wellness Lounge in North Haven, CT and layer it with hands-on bodywork, red light and infrared sauna for a full recovery stack.

Reduces leg heaviness
For runners, nurses, teachers, standers — anyone on their feet.
Boosts circulation
Especially valuable post-flight or after long car rides.
Deep relaxation
