As she explained, I was in awe of the things she was saying - how they helped her recover from DOMS faster, sleep better and lower her stress. I had to find out.

I spent days going through Google, Amazon, health and fitness magazines, and physical stores learning about air compression leg massagers. Finally, I bought a pair and took them straight to my physio friend. He already knew about these and here's what he suggested.

Compression therapy is not new. It’s been around for many centuries. There are definite science-backed health studies to suggest the best practices in compression therapy. Unlike many other wellness devices, you can ask your physio or doctor and she can give you some definitive suggestions. But for now, here are some general guidelines to get started.

If you’ve been hitting the gym hard straight 5 days in a row, and want to recover your leg muscles fast for the next training, then you’re probably going to need a 20-60-minute session depending on your condition. If you’re a busy mom and just looking to give your tired legs some much-needed rest and recovery, then we recommend anything between 10-30 minutes. If you’re just into wellness and incorporating agility drills into your workout to stay spry, then you’re probably going to need anything between 20-40 minutes.

Whether you’re training for competition, working out, running house errands, or just being on your legs a lot, you can use an air compressor leg massager to unwind and destress. Better blood circulation with kneading massage can help relax the mind and improve your sleep. Should you get one? The short answer is Yes. Get a high-quality compression massager that will give you all the benefits and last for years.
