Elevate Air Recovery Boots
What are compression boots?
Compression boots use inflatable air chambers around the legs. The chambers inflate and release in controlled patterns to provide dynamic compression across the legs.
What are Elevate Air Recovery Boots designed for?
They are designed to make dynamic leg compression easy to build into a recovery routine after training, between sessions, after long periods on your feet or whenever your legs feel ready for some dedicated recovery time.
How much pressure can I use?
Elevate Air Recovery Boots offer adjustable compression from 30mmHg up to 240mmHg.
More pressure is not automatically better. Start comfortably and increase the pressure gradually according to your own preference.
How many compression modes are there?
The Air Recovery Boots include five compression modes, giving you different ways to structure the inflation pattern during a session.
How many air chambers are in each boot?
Each boot uses four air chambers positioned along the leg to create the compression sequence.
How long is a session?
The built-in timer offers 15, 30 and 45 minute session options. Choose the duration that best fits your routine and comfort.
How often can I use the boots?
There is no single schedule that suits everyone. How often you use compression will depend on your training, routine, comfort and individual circumstances.
If you are new to compression, start conservatively and become familiar with how the boots feel before increasing session duration or pressure.
When should I use them?
Common times to build a compression session into your routine include after training, between harder sessions, on recovery days or after spending a long time on your feet.
Are the boots fully wireless?
Yes. The Air Recovery Boots use rechargeable battery-powered controls, so there is no external pump or wall connection required while you are using them.
How do I charge the boots?
The rechargeable battery system charges using the supplied USB-C charging cables. Refer to the user manual for charging instructions and recommended care.
How do I choose the right size?
Our current sizing is based primarily on height:
- Small / Medium: generally suited to heights up to 175cm.
- Large / XL: generally suited to heights of 175cm and above.
If you are close to the sizing boundary or unsure which option is right for you, contact us before ordering and we can help.
What should compression feel like?
Compression should feel firm but comfortable. It should not cause pain, numbness, tingling or unusual discomfort.
If a session becomes uncomfortable, reduce the pressure or stop the session.
Should I start at the highest pressure?
No. Higher pressure is not automatically more effective or more appropriate. Start at a comfortable lower setting and adjust gradually as you become familiar with the system.
Can I wear clothing underneath the boots?
Light, comfortable clothing can be worn underneath the boots. Avoid bulky items or anything that creates uncomfortable pressure points during inflation.
Can I travel with the boots?
The wireless design and included travel bag make the system portable. Because the boots contain rechargeable lithium batteries, always check the current battery rules of your airline before flying.
How do I clean the boots?
Disconnect or switch off the system before cleaning. Wipe the boots using a soft, lightly damp cloth and allow them to dry fully before storage. Do not immerse the electronic components in water.
Refer to your user manual for the full care instructions.
LumiTherm
What is LumiTherm?
LumiTherm is a flexible wearable recovery belt combining red light, near infrared light, adjustable heat and vibration in one system.
What wavelengths does LumiTherm use?
LumiTherm combines 660nm visible red light with 850nm near infrared light.
What is the difference between 660nm and 850nm?
660nm sits within the visible red portion of the light spectrum. 850nm sits within the near infrared range and is largely outside normal human vision.
Both wavelengths are commonly used in photobiomodulation research, which is why LumiTherm combines them within its wearable light system.
Why can I see the red light more clearly than the near infrared light?
This is normal. 660nm is visible red light, while 850nm near infrared light is largely outside the range the human eye can see.
Visible brightness therefore does not tell you whether the near infrared LEDs are operating.
Does LumiTherm also include heat?
Yes. LumiTherm includes adjustable heat settings so you can add controlled warmth to your session according to your comfort and preference.
Does LumiTherm include vibration?
Yes. Adjustable vibration adds another physical element to the wearable recovery session.
Where can I wear LumiTherm?
LumiTherm is designed primarily as a flexible wraparound belt and can be positioned comfortably around suitable areas such as the lower back and core.
Always follow the positioning and safe use guidance supplied with the product.
How should LumiTherm feel during use?
The belt should sit securely and comfortably. Heat should feel comfortable rather than excessive, and vibration should be set to a level that feels appropriate for you.
Stop use if you experience pain, excessive heat, skin irritation or unusual discomfort.
Can I use LumiTherm every day?
Your frequency of use should follow the session guidance in the LumiTherm user manual. More frequent or longer sessions are not automatically better.
How do I clean LumiTherm?
Switch the device off and disconnect any power or control components before cleaning. Follow the care instructions in your user manual and ensure the belt is fully dry before storage or reuse.
DuoTherm Mini
What is the DuoTherm Mini?
DuoTherm Mini is a compact percussion massage device designed to combine targeted massage with temperature-based recovery options.
What is percussion massage?
Percussion devices use rapid repeated movement through a massage head to provide a targeted mechanical stimulus to the area where the device is applied.
When can I use DuoTherm Mini?
DuoTherm can be incorporated around training or everyday recovery depending on the attachment, temperature setting and how you prefer to use the device.
How long should I use it on one area?
Avoid prolonged continuous use on one location. Follow the session and attachment guidance in the supplied user manual, particularly when using temperature functions.
How do I charge DuoTherm Mini?
DuoTherm Mini uses USB-C charging. Follow the charging instructions supplied with your device.
Where should I avoid using a massage gun?
Do not use the device directly over broken or irritated skin, areas with reduced sensation, or directly over bones and other sensitive structures. Follow the complete safe use instructions supplied with DuoTherm.
CryoLink Sleeves
What are CryoLink Sleeves?
CryoLink Sleeves are reusable gel cooling sleeves designed to provide targeted cold as part of your recovery routine.
Do I need Air Recovery Boots to use CryoLink?
No. CryoLink Sleeves can be used independently as a targeted cooling product.
How do I prepare the sleeves?
Cool the sleeves according to the instructions supplied with the product before use. Follow the recommended cooling and storage guidance rather than exceeding the specified time.
How long should I use cold therapy?
Follow the session guidance supplied with CryoLink and monitor your skin and comfort throughout use. Longer or colder is not automatically better.
Are CryoLink Sleeves reusable?
Yes. They are designed to be cooled and reused. Allow the sleeves to dry as required and store them according to the supplied care instructions.
Recovery Bundles
What is included in the Recovery Duo?
The Recovery Duo combines Elevate Air Recovery Boots with the DuoTherm Mini.
What is included in the Targeted Recovery Duo?
The Targeted Recovery Duo combines LumiTherm with the DuoTherm Mini.
What is included in the Complete Recovery System?
The Complete Recovery System combines Elevate Air Recovery Boots, LumiTherm and DuoTherm Mini in one recovery setup.
Can the products in a bundle be used separately?
Yes. Each product is designed to function as its own recovery tool, so you can choose what fits your routine rather than needing to use every product together.
Are bundle products covered by warranty?
Yes. Eligible devices purchased as part of a bundle retain their applicable Elevate product warranty and your rights under applicable consumer law.
Safe Use
Are Elevate products medical devices?
Elevate products are designed for general recovery and wellness use. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent a medical condition.
When should I speak to a healthcare professional before use?
Speak with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional before using a recovery device if you have a medical condition, an injury, concerns about circulation or sensation, are pregnant, have recently undergone surgery, or are unsure whether a product is appropriate for you.
What should I do if a product causes discomfort?
Stop using the product if you experience pain, numbness, tingling, unusual skin changes, excessive heat or cold, or any other unexpected discomfort.
Should I read the manual before using my product?
Yes. Read the user manual supplied with your Elevate product before first use. The manual contains product specific setup, charging, operating, care and safety information.
