I’m trying the 100 setting for the 1st time. This may not be my jam.

Did a full hour at 100 mmHg yesterday after a HIIT workout and my legs feel great. I really am hoping the app comes out soon to get some different programs. Was thinking I would like the bottom 2 chambers to inflate and stay 2x as long and no inflation to the top 2 chambers.
We are the opposite, I want the top chambers to stay inflated longer, but my problem areas are my quads and hamstrings.
I am not getting 4 hours out of the charge either. I didn't track it like you did but from memory something likeSo I complained about my second day after a workout pain yesterday. Used the boots for about 80 minutes last night on 100 and my goodness, my legs feel close to brand new. Really wish I would have used them the night I was supposed to so I didn't have to go through a whole day of walking around like I have legos in my shoes
I'm part of the group that for sure wishes the upper part stayed inflated longer. Right when it starts to feel good, the compression releases. I mean my legs feel better so it's doing it's job well but my hammys and quads sure could use a little bit more relief at times.
Also I noted every use (how much time and at what setting) from full charge to empty and this is what I got.
-20 minutes @ 50
-20 minutes @ 50
-20 minutes @ 50
-40 minutes @ 100
-40 minutes @ 100
-40 minutes @ 100
-40 minutes @ 100
So 220 minutes, almost four hours, of work from one charge. I'm assuming the pressure setting could lengthen or shorten the amount of use time though. The 20 @ 50 were my wife and the 40 @ 100 were me. I will keep track a couple more times to see if that 220 minute use time is constant
Same but it's never a lot longer. One boot always has one or two more cycles in it before it dies. Maybe three but never more than that that I can remember the two times through charges I've used themI am not getting 4 hours out of the charge either. I didn't track it like you did but from memory something like
60m / 100
40m / 75
40m/50
60m/50
20m/75
Interestingly, even though I charge them simultaneously and use them in parallel (i.e., exactly the same) one of the boots ran out of juice on my son last night while the other was still going.
So are you saying that inactive people using these is a bad thing? Genuinely curious since I’d assume these would get blood moving, even in super sedentary individuals.I understand the pathophysiology related to the compression and recovery aspect. I guess the ER nurse in me is scared of these for rather inactive people looking for massage type device. I have seen a massive increase in blood clots over the last few years and a lot of times those start in the lower legs. I'm sure for really active people that chance goes way down, but its the first thing I see when I see sequential compression devices.
Those that are super sedintary and could have some clotting issues are my concern. I don't worry about people that are really active as much. It has its purposes and advantages. I'm sure they feel great. I can also see them dislodging clots. Thats my concern.So are you saying that inactive people using these is a bad thing?

Ahhhhh that makes a ton of sense. Something I never thought ofThose that are super sedintary and could have some clotting issues are my concern.

Its not one of those "Hey if you use these something bad is going to happen." I just see the worst in products like this based on experiences around work. I always question things because of it.Ahhhhh that makes a ton of sense. Something I never thought of
Isn't that at least the theory behind compression stockings in post-op situations? Try to prevent clots from forming in the legs?Those that are super sedintary and could have some clotting issues are my concern. I don't worry about people that are really active as much.

In theory yes but clinically studies have shown actual blood thinners are far more effective. I’m sure these work for their purpose, I just see side effects differently I guess.Isn't that at least the theory behind compression stockings in post-op situations?

Have you found doing this promotes falling to sleep easier?it's why I've tried to work it into a nightly routine. Really can be nice and relaxing.
I don’t usually have regular joint stiffness so I won’t be able to answer Hope one of the other testers can though!For those of you using these, obviously it helps with muscle issues, but have you noticed joint issues being relieved such as ankle stiffness?
I saw one of those clinical studies when I was looking up information on compression garments. You definitely see things differently when you deal with them for a living.In theory yes but clinically studies have shown actual blood thinners are far more effective.
