What Is Compression Therapy?
Target Areas + Benefits of Normatec Compression Therapy
Benefits for body, mind, and recovery.
Improved Circulation
Keeps blood moving and helps prevent pooling, which supports vascular health.
Reduced Swelling
Helps move excess fluid out of your limbs, easing swelling after activity or travel.
Travel and Altitude Recovery
Counteracts the swelling, stiffness, and sluggish circulation that come with long flights, road trips, and living at elevation. Colorado Springs sits above 6,000 feet.
Faster Recovery
Helps your muscles bounce back after exercise by keeping blood and fluid moving.
Pairs with Contrast Therapy
Add a compression session after the sauna and cold plunge for circulation on top of circulation. It's a popular recovery combination.
Low-Effort Recovery
Put on the boots, sit back, and let 20 to 30 minutes do the work. It's an easy way to recover on rest days or after a hard session.
Enhanced Athletic Performance
May support endurance and help reduce post-workout soreness.
Better Sleep
Feeling relaxed with less leg heaviness afterward helps you wind down, especially after evening training.
Our environment, designed for longevity
Our Equipment
We built a toolkit, not a showroom. Every modality here was selected because the research backs it, then sourced from the providers who do it best. The same hard-shell hyperbaric technology used in clinical settings. The same anti-gravity treadmill trusted by professional athletes. That standard runs through everything we do.
Our Space
We designed Sisu around the belief that environment shapes outcomes. Intuitive flow between ten modalities, private changing areas, and a team present enough to guide you and experienced enough to get out of your way. This is what a serious longevity space feels like.
Our Amenities
Relaxation lounge, tea service, and hydration stations. We provide bench mats for every sauna session. Bring your own towel and robe, or pick up the real thing — we carry authentic Finnish sauna textiles in-studio. Private locker rooms and showers.
