Living with Lymphedema would be impossible without these particular Normatec Leg Message Units. They have several patterns and pressure selections that are fantastic . If your insurance won’t pay for a specific prescription .. These are a good substitute at a fraction of the cost.

The Hyperice Normatec Elite uses premium dynamic air compression to provide a fantastic leg massage experience. Following are my observations after using it for the past several days:
- I got the standard size unit, which is stated to be for an inseam of 31 - 35 inches or for people who are 5'4" - 6'3" tall. I am 6'2" tall and it covers my entire legs including my full thigh, almost up to the groin area, so the coverage is great for massaging the full legs, including feet.
- They have zippers to make it easy to put them on. Once they are on, you just get in a comfortable position, sitting, reclining or lying down, and you are ready to begin. It says you can wear over comfortable clothing, but not over clothing that will bunch up and with nothing in your pockets. This makes sense because the compression will get tight enough that bunched up fabric could be uncomfortable, depending on the level you set. I like to wear gym shorts and socks while using it, for this reason, and I like to kick back in a recliner for the massage.
- I love the fact that there are no cords or anything that needs to connect the two legs together or plug into anything. Both legs have their own chargeable controller right on the leg sleeve. However, the two leg units come paired with each other, so when you start one, they both start up and work in sync with each other so the experience and timing on both legs is the same. You can unpair them if you want to run them separately for different amounts of pressure, for example. You can easily pair them again after unpairing them.
- They come with a charging block attached to a dual cord so you can charge the controllers on both legs at the same time. On a full charge, they have up to four hours of battery life.
- When running a massage session, you can control them with the controllers on the leg sleeves. You can set a timer in 15 minute increments. I like to use them for 30 minute sessions.
- The controllers allow you to set the timer for the amount of treatment time, adjust the pressure between 7 different levels of compression (the level shows on the controllers), select a zone boost if you have a specific zone you want to apply more pressure on, start or stop your session (it automatically stops if you use the timer, but you can stop or pause the session at any time.) The controllers also have on/off buttons, battery level indicators, a Bluetooth status indicator and a HyperSync status indicator to show if they are currently paired or synced. Everything you need to operate a massage session is on the controllers that are attached right to the leg sleeves. However, you can also download the Hyperice App, which will automatically connect to your Normatec Elite via Bluetooth and then operate the units with he App and access advanced features and additional customization.
- The massage sessions I've experienced with the Normatec Elite have been great! The amount of compression inflates and deflates and kneads your feet and legs, one zone at a time, starting with the feet and all the way up your legs. This movement up the zones happens multiple times over the course of a 30 minute session. My preference is to run 30 minute sessions on level 4 pressure and I add in a zone boost on the foot zone. However, each person can adjust the pressure, length of session and use of zone boost to customize your massage the way you like it the best. When I get home from work, my legs and feet are typically tired and often jumpy. I put on the Normatec Elite for 30 minutes and when my session is done, my legs feel significantly better and ready for evening activities. I took a long bike ride this past weekend, after which my legs were very tired. A 30 minute session in the Normatec Elite felt so good after the ride and my legs felt great afterwards.
I highly recommend the Hyperice Normatec Elite!

It's Like Having a New Pair of Legs!

I do morning runs every day, I skateboard, and when I am working, I am on my feet all day. Even when I would try to relax and unwind, sometimes my legs would be too sore or feel “anxious”.
When I heard about the Hyperice Noratec device, I figured that since most of everything that I had heard was positive, I might as well give it a try.
Let me say that all the positive word around this product was definitely undersold! My first session with the Noratec Elite was amazing. I had expected some air compression in various parts of my legs but the Elite felt like an actual masseuse was decompressing the soreness and stress that we all carry.
Set-Up:
Upon opening the box, I was surprised to see that there weren’t a bunch of wires that could get tangled or accidentally yanked. Each leg sleeve is wireless and communicates with each other. All I needed to do was properly charge the leg sleeves and I was good to go. Each leg has a small control box that is secured on the side. The readout on these controls is clear, allowing you to adjust the settings to what you desire.
Performance:
After one 30-minute session with the Elite, I felt like I had new legs. This thing is amazing at how it manages to somehow apply the perfect pressure around each area like the thighs, calves, and feet. I reclined in my chair, turned on the TV, and nearly drifted off to sleep because the Elite just massaged the stress away. And what’s even cooler was that the following day, not only was I not sore but by day’s end, my legs and feet were not as exhausted as they typically would’ve been.
The Elite isn’t loud, I can run 30-minute sessions with the TV on or play on my phone without being disrupted.
I think that whether you’re an athlete, or someone who is on their feet all day and just wants to melt into a solid leg massage, then you’re going to want this.

The legs come in different sizes (see hyperice site). Best Buy only carries medium. If you need small or large, best to get direct.

Slow customer service for manufacturer defect

These worked great, until they could not even charge and I needed customer service. At this price point you expect the customer support would be prompt. However after owning these for just over a month they stopped working and when I reached out to customer service they sent me to Zendesk purgatory.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
