Unlock Faster Recovery with the Normatec Hip Attachment

Why Your Hips & Lower Back Need Compression Therapy

If you're training hard - whether on the field, in the gym, or during hybrid sessions - your lower back and hips take a beating. Over time, this leads to:

• Stiffness and restricted range of motion
• Delayed leg recovery
• Decreased performance and injury risk

The Normatec Hip Attachment delivers dynamic air compression to the lower back, glutes, hip flexors, and upper quads, areas often missed in traditional recovery methods.

Target Tight Lower Back Muscles

Lower back tightness is common among:

• Runners and cyclists
• CrossFit and hybrid athletes
• Weightlifters and functional trainers

The Normatec Hip Attachment helps by:

• Increasing circulation in the lumbar region
• Loosening deep stabilising muscles
• Supporting spinal mobility pre- and post-workout

Tip: Use it for 15-20 minutes post-session to decompress your spine and reduce stiffness.

Enhance Leg Recovery After Tough Workouts

Your legs do the heavy lifting, literally. But recovery often stops at foam rolling. With Normatec compression, you get:

• Pulsing action that mimics the body’s natural muscle pump
• Improved lymphatic drainage and reduced inflammation
• Faster return to training with less soreness

Pair the hip attachment with Normatec Leg Attachments for full lower body recovery - from hips to toes.

Why Compression Therapy Works for Athletes

Compression therapy has become a cornerstone of elite athlete recovery. Studies show it can:

• Improve venous return and reduce lactic acid buildup
• Decrease muscle soreness and swelling
• Accelerate recovery timelines between training sessions

The Normatec system is used by NBA, AFL, and Olympic athletes to maintain performance and mobility.

Top Exercises for Lower Back Pain Relief

While Normatec supports recovery, movement is key for long-term back health. Try incorporating:

2. Glute Bridges – Strengthens glutes and decompresses lower back
3. Bird Dog – Builds core and lumbar stability
4. Child’s Pose – Gently stretches the lower back
5. Pelvic Tilts – Re-educates pelvic control and relieves tightness

Combine these with daily use of the Normatec Hip Attachment for an integrated approach to pain relief and recovery.
