Thomas,

I picked up the Air Recovery per your recommendation (and code, thanks!). They should be arriving any day now.

I was curious what you do for timing. I thought I read on the website that they recommended not surpassing 3x15min /day. This seems pretty short.


The Air Relax is a qualified medical device so there is probably something to the recommendation for legal reasons. I'm not going to advocate any specific prescription, nor am I qualified to do so. The Air Relax does go up to 240 mmhg versus 100 for normatec. Obviously right there there is a huge difference. If you ran Air Relax at 40 (~level 1) versus 240 that is a huge difference right there IMO.

As for me, I have my Normatec set on 45 min session, and when I do Air Relax I just do the 3x15min. But I do it on average 2x times a day. So 1hr 30 in general. I do often go longer than 45 mins and shorter as well.

I had been doing more of start on 4-5 on Norma and increase every 15 minutes or so to 7, but it seems like maybe my Normatecs have stretched or something else has happened and the pressure doesn't feel the same as originally. Part of that is my legs getting use to it, but part of it seems like the Normatec itself.

My Air Relax, the new dark-blue-gray unit is relatively new. I usually will do a pre-workout on 1 maybe. Usually use 2 as recovery. I don't really use 3 or 4 at all.

I realize you only asked about Air Relax, but If figured I would include the Normatec usage as well for a more complete comparison.
