COMPRESSION THERAPY (NORMATEC / PNEUMATIC COMPRESSION) INFORMED CONSENT & LIABILITY WAIVER
Facility Location: 160 Old Farm Rd, Suite C-D, Amherst, MA 01002
Phone: 413.345.5317

1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK & NATURE OF SERVICES

Normatec compression equipment utilizes dynamic pneumatic compression (pulsed air compression) designed to mimic the natural muscle pump of the body, enhance lymphatic drainage, encourage fluid movement, and accelerate muscle recovery post-exercise.

I understand and acknowledge that:

  • Dynamic compression therapy involves external squeezing and variable mechanical pressure applied to the limbs (legs, arms, or hips).
  • The physical sensations include firm compression, pulsing pressure, and release cycles. Potential mild risks include temporary skin redness, pressure indentations, mild aching, or discomfort if settings are adjusted beyond personal comfort levels.
  • Compression therapy services provided by Be Awesome Be Strong LLC are intended for general athletic recovery, circulation support, and wellness, and do not constitute medical treatment or physical therapy.


2. CONTRAINDICATIONS & HEALTH ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Pneumatic compression increases venous return and fluid movement. For your safety, individuals with certain vascular, cardiac, or medical conditions must not use compression equipment without express medical clearance.

By signing below, I certify that I DO NOT have any of the following conditions, OR that I have received explicit written clearance from a licensed healthcare provider to use pneumatic compression devices:

  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) / Blood Clots: Known or suspected blood clots, phlebitis, or pulmonary embolism.
  • Severe Vascular Diseases: Advanced peripheral artery disease (PAD), arteriosclerosis, or severe varicose veins.
  • Acute Cardiac Conditions: Congestive heart failure, acute pulmonary edema, or unmanaged cardiovascular conditions where increased fluid volume to the heart could cause strain.
  • Acute Tissue Trauma: Open wounds, active skin infections, unhealed surgical incisions, bone fractures, or acute soft tissue injuries in the treatment area.
  • Ischemic Limb Disease / Neuropathy: Severe numbness or loss of sensation in the limbs that prevents feeling pressure levels.
  • Active Malignancy / Cancer: Active tumors or cancerous lesions in or near the application site.
  • Pregnancy: (If using hip/body attachments; leg attachments require prior clearance from an OB/GYN).

If you checked or suspect any of the conditions above, you must inform Be Awesome Be Strong LLC staff prior to your session.

3. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES & RULES OF USE

I agree to strictly adhere to all operational instructions and guidelines provided by Be Awesome Be Strong LLC staff:

  1. Pressure Levels: I will begin sessions at a moderate intensity level and will not increase pressure settings beyond a comfortable, painless threshold.
  2. Immediate Stop: If I experience sharp pain, excessive tightness, numbness, tingling, shortness of breath, or dizziness at any point during the session, I will stop the device immediately and notify staff.
  3. Attire & Hygiene: I will wear clean, dry clothing (such as leggings or sweatpants) while using the compression sleeves and follow all equipment sanitation protocols.


4. WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY

In consideration of being permitted to use the Normatec / Compression Therapy equipment and recovery services at Be Awesome Be Strong LLC, I, for myself, my heirs, personal representatives, and assigns, do hereby:

  1. RELEASE, WAIVE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE Be Awesome Be Strong LLC, its owners (including Beth Anne Moonstone), operators, officers, employees, coaches, independent contractors, and agents from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury (including vascular aggravation, tissue damage, or personal injury) that may be sustained by me while using the compression equipment.
  2. COVENANT NOT TO SUE Be Awesome Be Strong LLC for any claims arising from the normal and intended use, or accidental misuse, of the compression therapy devices.
  3. INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS Be Awesome Be Strong LLC from any loss, liability, damage, or costs (including legal fees) that may incur due to my participation in these services, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by Massachusetts law.
