Setup and Use These recovery boots are so well-designed that a manual is not really necessary. This system was on the market initially as RecoveryPump PRX2020 System but has been rebranded, and it has become more affordable in the process. While charging the battery on the pump, it is important to note that the switch on the back of the pump must be in the “ON” (I) position. I noticed that if you don’t download the app before using the pump, the date defaults at 1/1/19 with no option to change the date using the pump’s controls. Once you download the app, the app will keep a log of the entire session (session type, pressure, duration, and deflation). The app was the easiest app I have ever used. The unit was discovered automatically, and I had immediate access to modifying my session. Even though using the button on the pump was not too time consuming, the app made this task blazingly fast. There was even an advanced setting to individualize the pressure in each air pocket. If I accidently messed up the pressure gradient, the app would automatically correct this. The air pockets in the boots are overlapping, and the pressure in the lower pocket maintains to keep body fluid pushed toward the heart. I liked how these boots had a full-length zipper to make it easy to clean and air out. There are options to purchase compression pants, vests, and sleeves, which can all use the same pump. Fit I am 6’1” and the medium compression boots were a perfect fit. The compression was applied for the full length of my leg. Pros Overlapping air pockets in boot Maintains gradient pressure Multiple settings to choose from Well designed app Cons No setting on pump to change current date No storage bag for boots and pump With such a great app and multiple (customizable) sessions, I highly recommend this compression recovery unit. I just wish a storage bag for the boots and pump was included.

The Therabody RecoveryAir PRO are designed to help you recover after a workout, the pneumatic compression system has been a huge benefit to me during my pre-work out routine and after a workout. At first, I was a bit skeptical about these things, they look awkward, feel a little funny when you put them on, and my kids get a kick out of them when I have them on. However, the 4 chambers of pneumatic pressure that starts at my feet, calves, knees, then upper thighs are designed to overlap and provide pressure to move blood in your legs up back to your core. This promotes a faster recovery, and they are very comfortable to wear. The material the boots are made of are a very high-quality material that is easy to clean and a strong zipper that zips down to the feet. The pump for this unit has a few presets and a customize setting that you can use. Interval, Recover, Warm-up, Isolation, and Custom are the options you can choose from. Each one will have different Pressure, time, and release time that combined provides a different type of therapy to meet your needs. You have the option to increase the pressure up to 100 mmHg and up to 90 minutes or have it stay on. You can cycle the pressure in a few ways such as sequential, wave, ISO (Isolation), and flow. You can charge this, and I am not sure on how long the battery is rated for, but I have used it 5 times while on the battery with at least 30-minute cycles and I still have a little battery left. This is a nice feature so you can travel with it and not have to worry about having to be right next to a power outlet to use it. It is about 5 lbs. so it is not that heavy either. In the box they include plug incase you want to only use one boot at a time. I do also want to mention that when you are using this, it is not very loud at all. I am very impressed with it overall, and I look forward to using it. You do want to wear some comfortable pants such as sweatpants or just shorts though, other material may damage the boots or you might feel some discomfort from that material bunching up and pressing against your skin, so be aware of that. Therabody has an app for this, and you can easily control your experience from that. The app is called RecoveryAir in the google Play store and it works great. It makes the customization of your recovery easier to use then the pumps buttons. However, to connect to the pump each time, you must launch the app (with BT on) and then click the OK start/stop button on the pump itself to finish the connection. It does not connect w/o doing that each time. The app will allow you to easily target certain areas so say you just want to focus on your knees, it will fill up the feet, calves and then knees. If you just wanted to do your feet, then just the feet will fill up. This is because it will always fill up the lower chambers first to promote that blood flow back to your core. My only complaint about the app is that the branding of it should be in line with the Therabody products. Different apps for different devices from the same company just confuse things, in my opinion. This is a very expensive unit, but from what I have read, it is priced lower than units that do not do as much as this does. Unfortunately, this does not come with a case to carry it either and that would be a nice addition to have. Pros: Workout Recovery Warm up Build quality quiet Built in Battery App Cons: Cost no carrying case included
