Preparation and Aftercare for Your Flowell Session: How to Properly Use Our Recovery Boots and Pants

May 20, 2024

After sprinting the last mile of your run, you look forward to soothing your tired legs with a session in your Flowell Recovery Boots or Pants. To maximize the benefits of this recovery tool, it's important to know the best practices before, during, and after your session. In this post, we will guide you through the essential steps to ensure you get the most out of your Flowell experience.

Pre-Flowell: Setting the Stage for Optimal Recovery

Choosing the Right Moment

Timing is crucial for maximizing the benefits of your Flowell Recovery Boots or Pants. While you can use them at any time, the optimal window is within 30-60 minutes after exercise. This period is when your body is most receptive to the recovery boost provided by the boots or pants. However, the primary rule remains: use them regularly, regardless of the exact timing.

Embrace Comfort!

Comfort is key when preparing for your Flowell session. Slip into comfortable, elastic clothing like sweatpants or use the boots on bare legs to avoid pressure marks from tight materials like jeans. Ensure your pockets are empty and find a relaxing spot to lay back, ideally with your legs slightly elevated. Hydrate well after your workout but avoid overdrinking to prevent interruptions.

Balance is Key

Rehydrate and have a light snack post-workout, but avoid heavy meals right before your session, especially if using the Recovery Pants, as they can extend over your belly. Keeping hydrated prevents cramps, enhancing the effectiveness of the recovery session.

Intra-Flowell: Making the Most of Your Session

More Isn't Always Better

Once in your Flowell Recovery Boots or Pants, select the appropriate program and enjoy the session. Optimal usage time ranges between 30-50 minutes; beyond this, the benefits plateau. Overuse can soften muscles excessively, potentially impacting your next workout. Gradually increase the pressure for a comfortable massage experience.

The Most Important Thing

Relaxation is the essence of using Flowell Recovery Boots or Pants. Ensure you are comfortable and take this time to unwind and rejuvenate.

Post-Flowell: Ensuring Lasting Benefits

Enjoy the Floating Sensation

To deflate your Flowell Recovery Boots or Pants, disconnect the multi-connector from the control unit and press down on the air chambers. For convenience, keep the cuff connectors attached and store the boots or pants by rolling them up loosely with the hose set.

Stay Active

If you have a rest day following your Flowell session, engage in light activities like walking or climbing stairs for at least ten minutes. This helps maintain circulation and supports the recovery process.

Flowell Tips: Our Top 3 for Better Regeneration

  1. Adapt Your Training Schedule: Adjust your workouts according to your life demands. If you face physical and mental stress from work or other activities, consider lighter training to allow better recovery.
  2. Mental Relaxation: Your mental state greatly impacts your physical recovery. Use your Flowell session to clear your mind, meditate, sleep, or listen to calming sounds to enhance relaxation.
  3. Warm-Up and Cool-Down: These are essential for preparing your body for exercise and aiding in recovery. Spend 5-10 minutes on a treadmill at a moderate pace to warm up and cool down gradually after your workout to facilitate waste substance breakdown.
