Blog post from our board member Dr. Robert Bacci: Laser Therapy, NormaTec, and Hyperice in Physical Therapy, Why Our Patients Recover Faster With Modern Technology – Courtesy of Bacci & Glinn Physical Therapy
Physical therapy has changed over time. Hands-on care and targeted exercise remain the foundation of recovery. Modern technology now supports this work. For many patients, this combination leads to less pain, better movement, and faster recovery.
At KCG, we combine proven therapy techniques with advanced recovery tools such as laser therapy, NormaTec, and Hyperice. These tools support healing, reduce discomfort, and improve rehab results, especially as the body ages.
Old School Skill Meets New School Tools
Technology does not replace physical therapy. It supports it. Therapists assess movement, identify limits, and guide exercises that restore function. Technology supports the body’s healing response during this process.
This combination improves comfort and efficiency. Patients recover while staying active and involved in their care.
How NormaTec Improves Circulation and Reduces Swelling
NormaTec is a compression therapy system designed to improve circulation and reduce swelling. It uses controlled air pressure to move fluid through the limbs and support recovery.
NormaTec helps reduce swelling after injury or surgery. It improves blood flow. It decreases muscle soreness. It supports recovery between therapy sessions.
For patients with joint pain, postsurgical swelling, or leg fatigue, improved circulation supports healing and comfort.
