How often should I use NormaTec & infrared?

Inseason 2–3× per week; daily in hard training blocks or after competitions. Recovery is training-load management – the higher the load, the more important structured recovery.

Are NormaTec boots scientifically proven?

Yes. Studies (Sands et al. 2014, Hoffman et al. 2016) show significantly improved lactate clearance, reduced CK and faster recovery of neuromuscular performance vs. passive recovery.

What does infrared add if I already have a sauna?

Classic Finnish sauna works mainly via hot air. Infrared-A penetrates directly into muscle and connective tissue, activates mitochondria and acts regeneratively – at much lower room temperature (better tolerated, longer use possible).

Right after training or the next day?

Both make sense – with different effects. NormaTec right after load accelerates metabolic clearance. Infrared the next day supports tissue regeneration. Our protocols cover both.

Does this also work in rehab?

Yes, especially well. NormaTec reduces postoperative swelling, infrared promotes tissue regeneration. We integrate recovery into your return-to-play in agreement with your therapist.

Why recovery

You don't get stronger during training – but during recovery.

Adaptation happens in the regeneration phase. Those who recover faster can train more often and harder – without raising injury risk. Recovery is not a luxury, it's a performance factor.

Hyperice NormaTec

Compression boots that are standard in pro leagues.

NormaTec is the scientifically validated pulse-compression system used daily by everyone from LeBron James to Cristiano Ronaldo, Bundesliga pros and Olympic athletes. The patented sequential pulse technology mimics the natural muscle-venous pump – more effective than any static compression.

Developed by Dr. Laura Jacobs, M.D./Ph.D. – originally for chronic venous insufficiency, today the gold standard in athletic recovery.

What NormaTec really does

Dynamic, pulsing compression (NormaTec pulse technology)
7 overlapping zones per leg – pressure built distal to proximal
Mimics the natural muscle-venous pump
Accelerates venous return & lymph drainage
Reduces oedematous swelling after competition
Up to 5× faster ready for the next load

Infrared therapy

Deep heat with evidence from elite sport.

Infrared-A radiation penetrates 4–6 mm into tissue, activates cellular repair processes and accelerates regeneration at a physiological level. Used at FC Bayern, Real Madrid, NFL teams – and now at TMPHYSIO.

Mitochondrial activation

Infrared-A stimulates cytochrome-c-oxidase, boosts ATP production and accelerates cellular repair (Hamblin, 2017).

Better recovery

Studies on elite athletes show significantly reduced CK values and less DOMS after eccentric load (Loturco et al., 2016).

Sleep quality & HRV

Regular IR application improves parasympathetic activity, sleep depth and heart-rate variability – the foundation of real recovery.

Anti-inflammatory

Lowers pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α) and supports tissue regeneration after intense training blocks.
