Why Lymphatic Recovery is the Wellness Trend to Watch: Flowpresso vs. NormaTec at Impact Your Fitness

If you’re already paying attention to lymphatics and recovery in your fitness routine, you’re ahead of the curve. In the latest episode of the Impact Your Fitness Podcast, founder Jennifer Schwartz dives into her hands-on experience with two leading recovery technologies: the Flowpresso system and the classic NormaTec compression boots. Whether you’re a client at our Alexandria studio, a curious athlete, or just exploring new ways to feel and perform your best, here’s what you need to know.

What’s All the Buzz About Flowpresso?

Flowpresso is the new kid on the block—and it’s quickly becoming the star of our studio. Unlike anything else Jennifer has tried, Flowpresso offers a full-body, immersive recovery session using compression, pressure, and soothing infrared heat. The result? Deep relaxation, better lymphatic drainage, and a whole-body sense of “letting go” that you can actually feel.

Jennifer says it best: “It provides a nervous system with this deep sense of safety and rest that really signals our body to let go.” That means better sleep, less anxiety, and—most importantly—improved resilience against stress and injury, which are at the heart of what we do at Impact Your Fitness.

How Does It Compare to NormaTec?

NormaTec compression boots have been a staple for recovery since 2020. They’re great for muscle relaxation and a decent night’s sleep. But after just six weeks of weekly Flowpresso sessions, Jennifer noticed more positive changes than after years of regular NormaTec use. And she’s not alone—clients are lining up for sessions, and our calendar fills up fast every time we open new spots.

What’s different? Flowpresso targets more compartments on the body, uses a unique pressure sequence, and adds infrared heat—creating a “hug effect” that brings the body into deep recovery mode. It’s not just about muscle relief; it’s about shifting your whole nervous system into a healthier, more relaxed state. That’s something you see not just in physical results, but in better sleep, reduced anxiety, and even a brighter smile when you leave the studio.

Real Results, Real Fast

Jennifer shared her own story about bouncing back from a tendon injury and a tough recovery period after a traumatic event. Flowpresso helped with pain, sleep, digestion, and everyday relaxation—things that make a real difference for anyone juggling workouts, work, or life stress.
