Air Relax is an air compression device with several chambers that fill with air and actively compress through it. This system increases blood flow to the muscles, which supports muscle recovery and allows for stronger and more frequent exercise.
An excellent and effective tool for recovery from training. Most importantly, you don't have to do anything yourself!
4-step compression set. Maximum pressure 230mm Hg. For comparison, Normatec and recovery pump allows a maximum of 100mm Hg
Air Relax uses a state-of-the-art digitally controlled air pressure system to provide dynamic compression for feet or hands suffering from poor blood circulation or fatigue after exertion.
How does the device work?
Once you have the cuffs on your feet, sit or lie down on a flat surface and let go of the technology
do your job. When the device is switched on, the chambers are filled with air in the desired sequence and strength. The chambers gradually compress different muscle groups in the legs. This type of massage therapy speeds up blood flow and helps to cleanse the muscles of, for example, lactic acid after intense training.
Take, for example, mode B, which fills the cuff chambers sequentially starting at the foot. It helps pump out / squeeze muscle waste and "black" venous blood. The chambers are then emptied and the whole cycle begins again by filling the chambers sequentially, starting at the thigh muscle. This helps the "clean" arterial blood to reach the muscles faster so that it can "pick up" waste products again. This process speeds up the recovery of the legs many times over. A 15min session during which about 8 round trips is equivalent to 1 night of sleep for the muscles. See what it looks like:
In the past, compression devices were only intended for use in severe musculoskeletal disorders such as lymphetam, venous insufficiency, and the like. The patient was only allowed to use the prescription. Today, sports teams, universities, physiotherapists, and professional athletes use recovery pumps and compression devices to heal their injuries and recover for their next workout.
It is recommended that you use the device if you have
- Venous insufficiency
- Lymphatic system deficiency
- Varicose veins
- Sports injury
- Poor blood supply
- Other circulatory and peripheral vascular conditions
Most athletes are interested in reducing their recovery time after intense training or sports. Recent scientific studies have shown that lymphatic therapy contributes to physical and physiological changes that indicate improved muscle recovery. The human lymphatic system does not have a pump like the heart. The heart pumps blood only into the arteries. Air Relax provides natural sequential compression that repels venous blood from the legs and removes waste products (lactic acid) that cause muscle pain and fatigue.
“Air Relax compression is my new favorite tool. After a 12- or 6-hour MTB race, I pulled on the masks and allowed the air compression to recover. A very easy to use machine that does its job well and everyone can afford it. " - Robert Sandoval - bicycle sports radio, endurance athlete.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How does it work best, either after a workout or on recovery days?
Most exercise after exercise, before going to bed, and sometimes in the morning to get blood moving in the legs (especially useful when exercising in the morning) It works best when used after a hard workout. The Air-Relax gradual compression massage first pumps out lactic acid, residues and excess fluid from the feet. It then helps to pump clean blood into the muscles, which in turn takes in waste products and pushes it out of the legs again, and so on.

I've never been in a hurry to look into anything like this!
I am a runner and discovered compression boots a year or two ago with my physiotherapist. I was able to try it for free and then paid € 25 per visit. I looked to buy NormaTech - but they had a 4X higher price. I was already hesitant at an earlier price point, so it was definitely not a 4X higher price for me. I considered buying them for a long time because I didn't have to take 600 euros anywhere right away, and I also doubted if it was still the same as in the doctor's office.
But I've used them twice now, but in fact, they seem to be exactly the same as the more expensive versions.
For runners who do not recover well enough, these are the best things! Not that I recommend skipping other recovery aids. For example, sometimes I work on my feet for a long day and go for a run before work, even then Air-relaxers are so useful!
The only clear recommendation: BUY THEM whenever possible!

WORKS WELL FOR RECOVERY AFTER LONG RUNNING OR CYCLING
I bought an Air-Relax compression massage device for my feet, after using a friend-like system during a bike training camp. Air Relax was very reasonably priced! The device is very easy to use. Compression is also more effective than a medical device borrowed from a friend.
The packaging arrived the next day and there were no problems with the purchase. I love this device so much that I'm considering buying sleeves next. I use this product to recover muscles and lymph after a long bike ride and run, as well as before sleep in Restless Legs Syndrome.
• It also seems to me that my large varicose veins are no longer so prominent and I have seen ankles for several decades: D. Air Relax compression massage really works, affects the lymph and at the same time just makes you feel good.

Having a good recovery program is essential for any endurance zone. The more time passes, the greater the need for good recovery tools. As I get older, I have noticed that it is becoming more and more important every year. AIR RELAX Compression boots are the cheapest option for purchasing compression boots.
I've really enjoyed the AIR RELAX system after a strenuous run, race or race. It's amazing how well it affects the feet. It's like a really good foot massage. The leg cuffs consist of chambers that gradually fill with air. When filled with air, they start to exert quite a lot of pressure.
I have always believed that regular massage is a must! AIR RELAX is a great way to enjoy a great foot massage every day, regardless of your schedule. All you need is a comfortable chair or bed and electrical outlet.
The AIR RELAX package consists of a cardboard box with a handle. The compression machine, soft tubes and leg cuffs are very compact and easy to carry. Warning! If you use it, you want to take it with you wherever your active lifestyle takes you, so it's worth buying a sports bag for them;)

I am 56 years old. In addition to lymphedema, I have diabetes, neuropathy, serum secretion, and possibly severe infection and hypertension. I have been dealing with these terrible diseases for almost 12 years.
I know that if lymphedema is left untreated, its course will gradually worsen. I had used the basics of nursing at home, but my mobility and health deteriorated. I couldn't sit in the car, sometimes not even driving, because the swelling and numbness in my thighs made it impossible to sit for any period of time. This situation became so crazy that I decided to stay home and use courier services: D
I have used exactly the same system that my physiotherapist uses in my office. I have visited her 1-3x a week and only 15 minutes of treatment with Air Relax reduced the pain and swelling. I decided to research this device. Luckily for me, I found information about it on the web! I wish I had done this 5 minute research earlier.
I use Air Relax twice a day, every day. The results are amazing. I can sit in the car and be independent again. I can now walk several kilometers. My life is much better now. I no longer hit or move my legs during sleep caused by RLS. I can sleep peacefully at night now. My stamina has improved, as has my blood pressure and general condition. Finally, I can fit in my beautiful shoes.
I am so grateful for this incredible device. I recommend it to anyone who suffers from the same or similar diseases. I have so many things I want to do. Now I can do most of them. Thank you for this great product.
I bless you all.
Here is a list of some of the activities I have been able to do with Air Relax:
• Running, on the tape and on the forest trail.
• Cycling, triathlon, etc.
• Swimming
• Skiing, snowboarding, hiking, sailing.
• Traveling after long flights.
• Training
• Hiking
• Crossfit
Basically anything that puts physical strain on your feet.
For € 650, this is a great investment in your recovery. I'll put this at the top of my equipment list because it's one of the things that can help you improve your performance in 2018. I'm already looking forward to trying on sleeves and other accessories.
