![]() Sliding into the boots was easy enough but there is a zipper that trails the length of each leg sleeve for easier access. All I did was plug my control unit into an outlet (which was a bit short, so keep an extension cord handy), put the silicone hose into the unit, and slid on each sleeve. I was expecting so many little parts and pieces that I would have to fiddle with, but I took out the control unit, the leg sleeves, and the instructions-that’s it. I was surprised (in a good way) at how little equipment was included. All 4 chambers inflate and all 4 deflate at the same time.Īir Relax Boots: My Experience First Impressionįor one, the box looks a hell of a lot heavier than it actually is. Mode CĪir Relax keeps it simple with the third mode, which is a classic full massage cycle. All four deflate at the same time and the cycle repeats itself only this time reversing the pattern, starting at chamber 4 and working down to chamber 1. Mode B is the sequential cycle mode where chamber 1 inflates and holds, chamber 2 inflates and holds, and the cycle continues until all chambers are filled. Each chamber will inflate and deflate before compression moves on to the next chamber, like a wave of relief. This is the peristaltic cycle mode, which is a fancy way of saying something moves in a wave-like fashion. Each mode provides different ways to target the compression. This is dependent on height of course (for reference, I’m just above 6 feet tall).Įverything you need for operation is on the control unit screen, including on/off button, four different pressure settings, and three different modes. Chamber 2: Focuses on your shins and calves.Chamber 1: Covers mainly your feet and ankles.The four chambers of each Air Relax boot: When inflated, it temporarily restricts blood flow when deflated, nutrient-rich blood rushes into your muscles.

Benefits of Compression Boots Post-Exercise For $700 or so, they promise increased blood flow, greater range of motion, and decreased inflammation.Ĭan you get that for cheaper? For about $200 or so less, a company called Air Relax says so–and we tested them to find out. The gym recovery industry has skyrocketed in recent years and some of the most talked-about products in the recovery world are Therabody and Normatech’s very expensive air compression boots. The time between workouts is just as important as the workouts themselves. The compression technique improves blood circulation, promotes lymphatic fluid movement, helps remove lactic acid, reduces inflammation, soreness, stiffness and improves flexibility thus stimulating recovery and enhancing performance.The more we learn about fitness and exercise, the more we learn about recovery. The compression temporarily restricts blood circulation to the area and upon release, nutrient-rich blood rushes through the muscle tissue.
