8INDICATIONS FOR USE
& RISKS AND BENEFITS
The NormaTec PULSE Recovery System is an air pressure massager indicated to temporarily relieve
minor muscle aches and/or pains and to temporarily increase circulation to the treated areas.
The risks and benefits of using the NormaTec Recovery System are the same as having a massage. If
the massage feels uncomfortable, you can reduce the intensity or stop the session.
Similar to a massage, the benefits can include the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains. It
can also temporarily increase circulation in the area being massaged.
