RecoveryAir Prime
Advanced compression simplified for everybody.
Your RecoveryAir Prime pneumatic compression system comes with a pump, a set
of compression boots, a blocker plug, a DC power adapter, and a carrying
pouch.
Getting started
- To turn on the RecoveryAir Prime pump, press and hold the power button.
- To get started, put your boots on first before attaching them to the pump. This allows you to get into the most comfortable position and avoid any disruption in the air flow connection.
- Next, plug in the connector from the boots into the pump. Make sure you hear a “click” so that you know the RecoveryAir Prime is fully connected, is plugged in, and there is a proper seal.
- Once connected and comfortable, you are ready to customize your treatment.
Prepare your treatment
- To turn on the RecoveryAir Prime pump, press and hold the power button.
- Access two preset program options when connected to the Therabody app: Recover and Warm-up.
- Once you have chosen your desired program, use the (<) and (>) buttons to adjust the pressure setting.
- Then, toggle through the time options using the Time button to set your desired treatment time (20min, 40min, 60min, or continuous).
- Once you have selected the treatment options that are right for you, press start, relax, and you’ll be on your way to recovery in no time.

RecoveryAir Prime Programs
About negative gradient for all programs:
The RecoveryAir Prime’s unique true negative gradient of pressure sequentially
travels up the limb from the foot toward the heart in four internal
overlapping chambers. The spiraling overlap of chambers safely maximizes
circulation.
- The pressure can be the same in two consecutive chambers, but the pump won’t allow a back chamber to have a higher pressure than a front chamber.
- The minimum pressure level of each chamber is 20 mmHg.
Recover and Warm-Up preset programs
- Access the Recover and Warm-Up preset programs via the Therabody app.
- The Recover program is the perfect go-to when experiencing fatigue, tension, or soreness brought on by your everyday activities or post-workout.
- The Warm-Up program is recommended for use before workout.
- The only difference between the two programs is the default pressure level and treatment time.
Sequential inflation cycle
Both the Recovery and Warm-Up preset programs use the Sequential inflation
cycle.
- A directional massage is applied, starting at the base of the treated area, and progresses upwards towards the torso and then releases. (see Figure 1)
- Starting with Chamber 1, once the inflating chamber has reached its preset pressure level, the pressure level for that chamber is held and the next chamber begins inflating.
Figure 1 – Sequential Cycle Mode
Smart Features
The RecoveryAir Prime also connects to the Therabody app via Bluetooth, giving you control of your RecoveryAir Prime session from the convenience of your smartphone.
Not only can you easily access the Recover and Warm-up treatment options, but
you can also adjust the pressure and time.
Charging the RecoveryAir Prime
- After turning off the pump, plug the power adapter into the charging port of the RecoveryAir Prime pump.
- You can continue to use the RecoveryAir Prime while charging.
- Charging is complete when all 3 LED lights of the LED battery indicator are lit.
Traveling with your RecoveryAir Prime Compression System
When traveling with your RecoveryAir Prime Compression System, we recommend:
- Roll the hose tightly and slide it into the foot section of your garment. It is important to keep the hose from creasing to protect the hose’s integrity and its ability to properly distribute airflow.
- Once you secure the hose, simply fold your garment to fit into your travel bag or carry-on luggage.
- Secure your pump in the provided carrying pouch.
Superior, hygienic design
It’s important to take proper care of your RecoveryAir Prime compression boots
because the longer they last, the longer you will feel the benefits.
RecoveryAir Prime compression boots have non-porous medical grade material
that help fight bacteria and provide a resistant surface. Our internal
overlapping chambers provide a smooth surface to clean, this means no wiping
under chamber flaps where bacteria can build up. This also means, no smells.
How to Clean
Here are simple steps to cleaning your RecoveryAir Prime compression boots:
- Unzip the boots completely and lay them on a flat surface.
- Take a disinfectant wipe or spray, and gently clean the inside of the boots. Avoid any oil based cleaning product.
- Once you have cleaned your garment, make sure to fully dry the surface by hanging them up or wiping them down.
- We also recommend you wipe down the exterior of the pump to reduce surface contaminants.
What it is and why it’s im portant:
We use medical-grade material covering the internal chamber to help reduce the
potential for microbial growth and moisture retention. Whether you are an
individual, or a clinic, our boots are designed to help limit the potential
for bacterial transmission.

Indications for Use
RecoveryAir is indicated for the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and
pains, and for the temporary increase in circulation to the treated areas in
people who are in good health. RecoveryAir simulates kneading and stroking of
tissues by using an inflatable garment.
Note
- The pump is “multi-voltage” and can be used for travel.
- An appropriate socket adapter must be used in countries with incompatible wall outlets.
- Use only RecoveryAir garments with the RecoveryAir pump.
- When immediate garment deflation is necessary, disconnect the garment hose bundle from the pump to immediately deflate the air pressure in the garment.
Troubleshooting
| Note | Possible Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| The pump is not working. | No electricity | Inspect the electrical wall outlet. |
| DC power adapter | Verify that the DC power adapter cable is connected to the |
DC adapter socket on the console, and the DC pow- er adapter is connected to
the 100-240 Volt wall outlet.
DC power adapter cable| Examine the cable for any defects.
The Status Indicator is On in yellow| Malfunction| Contact Therabody.
The pump starts working and stops immediately.| The air cannot move through
the garment hose.| Examine hoses for kinks, twists and folds.
One garment inflates but the second one does not.| The second garment does not
receive air.| Examine its hoses for kinks, twists and folds.
The pump stops working, the Status Indicator turns On in yellow.| Hose is not
connected properly to garment or pump, or prong plug is not inserted into
unused air outlet.| Examine and fasten all air connections. When treating only
one limb, always plug the unused air outlet with the prong plug provided with
the pump. If all air connections are OK and the problem persists, contact
Therabody.
The pump works at a very low pressure, regardless of the pressure set by the
user.| Defective garment| Replace garment and check again.
