Therabody RecoveryAir Devices
An Introduction
A brand best known for its percussive massage devices, Therabody allows the general public to access recovery products once limited to professional athletes. The RecoveryAir range is no exception, and these revolutionary compression boots mean you can sit back, relax, and give your muscles all the help they need so you're ready for another workout.
What type of compression does RecoveryAir offer?
The Therabody RecoveryAir boots use clinically-proven Intermittent Sequential Pneumatic Compression (ISPC) to mimic the leg muscle pump action and support venous return. Compressed air is pumped into air chambers to create a successive cycle of inflation and deflation, encouraging healthy circulation. This technology is particularly useful for athletes looking to recover faster or for people who spend many hours walking or standing, but pretty much anyone can feel the benefits.
Why choose Intermittent Sequential Pneumatic Compression (ISPC)?
Most often used to accelerate recovery after a workout or activity, pneumatic compression is also a great treatment method post-op or when rehabilitating after an injury. It will improve circulation, flushing lactic acid and other waste products to speed up venous return, resulting in reduced fatigue, diminished muscle soreness and less swelling in the legs. The system is passive, meaning you can pull on the device, choose your settings and let it do its job while you recharge.
What Makes Therabody RecoveryAir devices different from others on the market?
Not every pneumatic compression system is equally as effective or safe. The exact method of how ISPC is applied through the use of the Therabody RecoveryAir devices sits in line with a number of studies, ensuring it's both safe and efficient. The precise pressure applied is always within a proven safe range, according to the area of the body being treated.
With a true negative gradient, pressure is precisely controlled and starts strongly at the foot, travelling up towards the heart in four internal overlapping chambers, reducing as it goes. This overlap not only maximises circulation within the safe limits of applied pressure but also prevents peaks and troughs that may be harmful.
Therabody RecoveryAir features
-
TruGrade technology - The highest pressure is applied furthest from the heart and reduces as it moves up the legs, in a negative gradient
-
FastFlush technology - Compression frequency is 2-3 times faster than others on the market, with a full cycle of boot inflation and deflation just 60 seconds
-
Precise pressure control - A session can be set to precise units of pressure to suit the user requirements, and will account for limb size
-
4 overlapping chambers are easy to keep clean, preventing the build-up of moisture or bacteria
Therabody App
Although simple programmes and settings can be accessed from the units themselves, bringing the Therabody App into the mix opens up a whole new layer of customisation. This is particularly true with the RecoveryAir Pro, but even when using the Prime and JetBoots, the pressure ranges can be more finely dialled in, the pressure hold and release times can be changed and preset routines can be selected. There’s also the ability to track your stats among other things.
Therabody RecoveryAir range
Three Therabody RecoveryAir systems are available: the Prime, JetBoots and Pro. All include TruGrade and FastFlush technology to shorten recovery by improving circulation. However, they prioritise different features to suit different users, be that ease of use, portability and convenience or customisation. The associated range of settings and the designs vary accordingly.
Therabody RecoveryAir Prime
The easiest system to use in the range, the Therabody RecoveryAir Prime simplifies the design without compromising on the included technology. Zip on the boots, set the pressure and treatment and you're ready to go, or use the Therabody app to access further settings.
Therabody RecoveryAir Prime Key Features
- Four time intervals (20, 40, 60, and continuous)
- Adjustable pressure range: 20-100mmHg
- Pressure hold time variation (1-10 seconds)
- Pressure release time variation (10-60 seconds)
- Two preset programs
- Basic Program Sharing
- My Recovery Stats Tracking
- 180 minute battery life
Therabody RecoveryAir Jetboots
Although very similar to the Prime, the Therabody RecoveryAir JetBoots are all about convenience, eliminating the need for an external pump by adding integrated motors. This is the device for users who may wish to self-treat away from home.
Therabody RecoveryAir JetBoots key features
- Four time intervals (20, 40, 60, and continuous)
- Adjustable pressure range (20-100mmHg) in increments of 25mmHg (or via Therabody App in increments of 5mmHg)
- Two customisable programs for self-guided treatments
- Basic program sharing
- My Recovery Stats tracking
- One touch integrated controls
- 240 minute battery life
RecoveryAir Pro
Therabody's RecoveryAir Pro is the most advanced pneumatic compression system in the range, giving you total control over your treatment. Everything is customisable, some elements straight from the device and some from the app. Different programs allow you to choose an inflation pattern and zone so you can truly tailor the experience to you.
Therabody RecoveryAir Pro Key Features
- Adjustable treatment time (10-90min) and continuous
- Adjustable pressure range (20-100mmHg) in increments of 5mmHg
- Four preset programs (Warm Up, Recovery, Isolation and Interval)
- Four inflation cycles (Sequential, Wave, Isolation and Flow)
- Basic and Pro programme sharing
- Pro mode for the ultimate customisation
- Zone Control
- 240 minute battery life
