All programs are fit for everyone, but the most indicated, for example, when we have spent a lot of time standing and our legs are very swollen, we would use number 2.

Is it recommended to use pre-training?

Before training, we should NOT use it in the same way, we should not do "normal" sessions, but instead talk about 15-20 minutes at a much more moderate pressure, not with the intention of muscle recovery or "hit the muscle" but with the intention of oxygenating and preparing it for the work that will come later.

How long should a session last?

We should dedicate approximately 40 minutes, applying the program that we want depending on the workload carried out. Take advantage of that time to read, to watch a series or just relax! Enjoy your Sizen moment!
In addition, the Sizen 6+, due to its small size and its more than 6h battery life, we will be able to enjoy many sessions without the annoying cables involved.

About 2 hours after training is the ideal time to carry out the pressotherapy treatment.

When should we carry out the treatment?

We must leave approximately 2 or 3 hours after performing the exercise. In this way we give the body time to recover its normal state and it is ready to recover.
If you have done the training in the afternoon, after a correct one cena or also before going to sleep can be a good time, that way we will be relaxed, recovered and we will add the night rest to our recovery.

What should be the pressure to apply?

This is a little to taste and depending on the thickness of your legs, but it could range between 120 and 180 mmHg of pressure. We remind you that the Sizen 6+ has the capacity to reach up to 240 mmHg. So there is enough pressure to get where you want to go.
