15. At the start of a session, a few inflation cycles are used to calibrate the pressure based on your limb(s) or body circumference. The first cycle or two may take a longer time to fill completely.
16. When the session is completed, the garment will deflate for 30 seconds automatically.
17. Allow the garment to deflate for 30 seconds before you remove it.
18. At the end of the session, turn off the power switch at the back of the control unit.
19. At the end of the session, the garment will deflate within a short time, allowing it to be removed easily.

• Sequential Cycle Mode: Cyclical uniform therapy starts at the distal end and moves in succession toward proximal end. Fills chambers one after the other, and then deflates to release the pressure.
• Progressive Cycle Mode: Progressive peristaltic therapy is moving in a waveform up the distal end to the proximal end. Fills only three chambers one after the other, and then deflates to release the pressure.
• Air Relax Pro Control unit contains four modes, each predefined mode delivers the best therapy/treatment.
• Sequential Cycle Mode: Cyclical uniform therapy starts at the distal end and moves in succession toward the proximal end. Fills chambers one after the other, and then deflates to release the pressure.
• Progressive Cycle Mode : Progressive peristaltic therapy is moving in a waveform up the distal end to the proximal end. Fills only three chambers one after the other, and then deflates to release the pressure.
• After the use of Air Relax Recovery system will have minimal toxins and waste in the lymphatic system and further recovery such as cryotherapy or ice baths can now be used without trapping these toxins/waste in the lymphatic system that attribute to Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).
• Overlay Cycle Mode: Continuous therapy inflates all chambers with the same amount of pressure in unison and sustains that pressure and then deflates to release the pressure.
• Drain Cycle Mode : Exclusive rehabilitation therapy applies a directional massage, starting at the distal end and progressives upwards towards torso and then deflates to release the pressure.
• Overlay Cycle Mode: Continuous therapy inflates all chambers with the same amount of pressure in unison and sustains that pressure and then deflates to release the pressure.
  Drain Cycle Mode: Exclusive rehabilitation therapy applies a directional massage, starting at the distal end and progressives upwards towards torso and then deflates to release the pressure.

1. Pre-Training
   Using the Air Relax Recovery system on athletes 30 minutes prior to warm up helps stimulate better
   flow of the venous system, gives a light lymphatic flush, and helps with muscle activation.Suggested Time: 15 min on Mode PROG, Pressure level 60 mmHg-100 mmHg.

2. Pre-Training
   Active warm down and static stretch. Air Relax Recovery system to give full lymphatic drainage and help advance the drainage of toxins, such as lactic acid and other body waste products, provide enriched blood flow and improve blood flow and oxygen within the venous system. Suggested time: 45-60 min on Mode PROG (15 min), Mode SEQT (15 min), Mode OVLAY (15 min), or Mode DRAIN (45 min), Pressure Level 100 mmHg-140 mmHg.

3. Immediate Post Activity
   Active warm own and static stretch. Air Relax Recovery system to give full lymphatic drainage and help advance the drainage of toxins, such as lactic acid and other body waste products, provide enriched blood flow and improve blood flow and oxygen within the venous system.15-30 min on Mode PROG, 15-30 min Mode PROG(15 min), Mode SEQT(15 min), Mode OVLAY(15 min), or Mode DRAIN(45 min), Pressure Level 100 mmHg-140 mmHg.
