I’m sure many of you who follow your favorite pro athletes (or wannabe pro neighbors) on social media have seen them sitting on the couch post workout in “recovery sleeves” and have wondered, what in the heck is that? More than likely, these athletes are wearing the NormaTec recovery sleeves. Maybe you are thinking the following. But why would I need these? Couldn’t I just stretch after my run? What is so special about them? I thought they were only for the pros? Let’s dive in and take a look at why you need NormaTec recovery sleeves.
The NormaTec Pulse 2.0 is deemed the “Ultimate Recovery Experience” which gives you fresh legs much faster than traditional stretching, helps you warm up pre-workout, and improves your recovery after your workout or on raceday.
