How do Normatec compression boots work?
Normatec compression boots use air chambers that inflate and deflate in a rhythmic, zone‑based pattern, encouraging circulation and helping muscles release tension. The boots act like a professional massage, soothing muscles and joints, supporting recovery, and promoting a feeling of lightness and comfort all while you relax in a calm, restorative environment.
By using compression boots regularly, you can significantly reduce downtime between your favorite KĀYA classes.

Frequently asked questions about compression boots
To ensure your compression boots session at KĀYA is as seamless and supportive as possible, we’ve gathered the essential details for you here.
What are compression boots?
Compression boots are hollow, fabric boots that contain multiple chambers. Each of these sleeves fills with air, one after the other, to compress, or squeeze, one section of the lower body at a time starting at the feet and working up towards the hip. Normatec compression boots are the industry leader in this recovery technology.
Can I use the compression boots while I'm pregnant?
We have found that many pregnant people use compression boots to help relieve swelling and soreness. In any case, it is always best to consult with your doctor to see if this device is right, and safe, for you to use.
What do I do after my session?
Please hang the compression boots on the hooks provided, or lay them down flat on the bed and put them on charge.

You can enjoy the benefits of compression boots after workouts, long days standing, or anytime legs feel heavy or tired. It is safe to use them daily as part of your wellness routine.
