Hyperice - Normatec Elite Hip - Black

Hyperice has been around for a while now and is obviously one of the leaders in this field. This is my first Hyperice device - I got this because as an over 50 fairly active male, I have to do all I can to keep my body healthy and mobile. I have seen air compression devices like these being used at Physical Therapy offices a lot so they obviously have their value in pain relief and muscle recovery and Hyperice is known to make medical grade equipment. I wanted to have something I could use on a regular basis since the hip area is so important to overall body health and mobility. The Hyperice Normatec Elite Hips device is one of the first of its kind so far as I am aware in that it specifically targets your entire hip area while including your lower back, glutes, and even thighs AND it's completely portable and cord free! This "machine" is extremely well-made. From all the materials on the outside to the way the air flows, fills, and empties on the inside, you can tell they really made sure to use high quality materials. I have no doubt that this will last a very long time. The design is also excellent. It's super easy to slip this on (kinda feels like you're putting on baggy stiff shorts) and get it running. I'm a thinner guy with super skinny legs and was a little curious if I'd have to use the highest compression level to feel anything. But that was not the case at all. By level 3 I could feel some compression and I settled on level 5 for now as my max point. But good to know I could still go up two more levels before reaching the highest compression available. Hyperice did a great job making this a one-size-fits-all model that I can see will truly work for almost any sized person. The mechanism that controls the Hips Compression is built into the front right. It's at a perfect position to make it super easy to use. The display is bright and meant to be read while wearing and the buttons are simple and easy to use as well. The unit has a built-in battery so you charge it up and then you can use it for several hours before needing to charge it again. My one disappointment is that it charges with a special charger they included - I wish it was a standard USB-C charging port so I could easily charge it with any USB-C charger I have lying around and didn't have to worry about keeping up with their specific charging cord. This is my only complaint about the device. What I really love is that the device also has bluetooth built into it and is easy to connect to from the Hyperice App on your phone. (The app can also hook into Apple Health.) Once connected you can fully control the device from your phone without having to use the physical controls except to power it on and off. The user interface for that is great and makes controlling and fine tuning your compression unit very simple. As for the functionality of the compression itself, it's definitely on par with anything you'd find at a physical therapy office. I don't know how they designed this to work so well from just the small front control pack, but everything is super smooth. The fluctuating compression from different zones and the way the zones fill with air and empty is excellent. Compression is very uniform across the entire area being compressed at any point. Overall, I really love the Normatec Elite Hips compression machine. It's well made, easy to use, and seems to work great for its purpose. I haven't had the device for a long time so it's impossible for me to speak to the long term effects, but from what I've experienced so far, I can definitely see incorporating the Normatec Elite Hips into my regular health regimen as an additional way to keep my hips, upper legs, and lower back happy and healthy.

After a week of testing the Normatec Elite Hip by Hypercie i can confidently say it has became a staple in my recovery routine. It is a thoughtfully engineered compression device that delivers targeted relief where it matters most! 🧘Who is this for: -If you are an athlete, someone that stands for long periods of time or deal with chronic tightness in the hips and lower back, this devices is worth considering. The Normatec Elite Hip isn't just for recovery, it's also for maintaining mobility, reducing stiffness and staying ahead of injuries. 🎒Portability that fits my lifestyle: -One of the standout features is how portable and easy to use the Normatec Elite Hip is.

This device really works. The compression is solid im a bigger guy and fits very well battery life also great . If you dont like it return the item as I did with the shoulder contrast device

Excellent product. Easy to use, great battery life, effective pressure. Very pleased with purchase.

Im a truck driver and my hips/lower back really get tight. And my sciatica gives me a nice hello often. I use this a couple times a week and I feel my sciatica flare less and my hips/lower back feel nice. If I use it daily my sciatica flare is non existent
