Step-by-Step Guide:
-
Prep Time:
- Wash and dry your legs: Ensure your skin is clean and free of lotions or oils for optimal compression.
- Gather your Normatec boots: Locate the power cord, attachments, and any size adapters.
-
Power Up:
- Connect the attachments: Secure the leg attachments to the boots, ensuring proper alignment.
- Plug in the power cord: Locate the power outlet and connect the cord to the boots.
-
Size it Up:
- Open the zip: Open the zip on each boot to allow for easy leg insertion.
- Slide in: Carefully insert each leg into the appropriate boot, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit.
- Adjust the Zip: Secure the zip comfortably around your legs, avoiding any excessive tightness.
-
Set Your Session:
- Locate the control unit: Find the control panel on the boots or a separate control unit.
- Power on: Turn on the device using the power button.
- Choose your program: Select a pre-set program (recovery, circulation, etc.) or customize settings.
- Adjust pressure: Gradually increase the pressure to a comfortable level, aiming for a firm but not painful compression.
- Set the timer: Choose a session duration based on your needs (typically 20-30 minutes).
-
Relax and Recover:
- Find a comfortable position: Sit or lie down in a relaxed position.
- Enjoy the compression: As the boots inflate and deflate, feel the pressure work its magic on your legs.
