Fifteen minutes. Feet up.
Compression Boots
Our Normatec compression boots fill with air and squeeze your legs in waves, starting at your feet and moving up toward your hips. You sit back and relax while they work. Find them in the Recovery Corner at our Greenwood studio.

How the boots work
Each boot has a row of air chambers running from foot to thigh. They inflate one after another, hold, and release, so the pressure travels up your leg in a steady rhythm.
Squeeze
The chamber at your foot fills first, then the next one up, and so on toward your hip.
Hold
Lower chambers hold their pressure while the upper ones fill, so the wave keeps moving in one direction.
Release
Everything lets go, your legs get a short break, and the cycle starts again.
Why that pattern?
When you walk, your calf and thigh muscles squeeze the veins in your legs and help push blood and fluid back toward your heart. The boots mimic that pumping action with waves of air pressure while you relax. A compression sock works differently: it keeps up a steady squeeze all day.
| Compression boots | Compression socks | |
|---|---|---|
| How they work | Air chambers inflate and release in waves | Elastic fabric applies continuous pressure |
| Pressure | Changes throughout the session | Usually strongest at the ankle, easing off higher up |
| Coverage | Full leg, up to the thigh | Usually ankle to calf (thigh-high versions exist) |
| Use | Short sessions while seated | Worn for hours during your day |
Why guests use them
After a hard workout
Runners, cyclists, and anyone coming off leg day. Research suggests dynamic compression may ease how sore your legs feel afterward.
Long days on your feet
Nurses, servers, baristas, and retail staff use them when their legs feel heavy at the end of a shift.
Before a float
Loosen up after a long day, then head into your float feeling more settled.
A seated reset
Fifteen minutes with your feet up and nowhere to be. For a lot of people, that’s the best part.
How often? Many guests use them after workouts or at the end of a long week. There’s no set schedule. Notice how your legs feel and go from there.
Your session
Come as you are
Wear comfortable clothes. Shorts or loose pants are easiest. Just take your shoes off.
Boots on
Slide your legs in and zip up. Our team will get you connected.
Set the pressure
Start with gentle pressure and adjust as you get comfortable. Stronger isn’t necessarily better.
Sit back
Stay seated for all 15 minutes. Don’t stand or walk in the boots. When it’s done, unzip and you’re on your way.
First time? The squeeze is firm, a bit like a blood pressure cuff moving up your leg. It shouldn’t hurt. If it does, turn it down or let us know.

Before you book
Compression boots aren’t right for everyone.
Don’t use the boots if you have, or think you might have:
- A blood clot (DVT) or pulmonary embolism
- An acute infection
- An open wound or active injury where the boots would press
Check with your healthcare provider first if you:
- Have a history of blood clots
- Have a heart or circulation condition
- Recently had surgery
- Are pregnant
- Have another condition that could make compression unsafe
The pressure should feel firm but comfortable. If you feel pain, numbness, tingling, or anything unusual, stop the session and let our team know.
