Answers to common questions about compression recovery boots and the Celligen CGC-400.
What are compression recovery boots and what are their benefits?
Compression boots use inflatable air chambers to deliver a rhythmic massage to the legs. Many people enjoy using them after exercise, long days on their feet or as part of a relaxation and recovery routine. They may help reduce the feeling of post-exercise soreness, although research on recovery benefits is still developing.
How do compression boots work?
Air chambers inside the boots inflate and release in programmed sequences, applying controlled pressure to different areas of the legs. The Celligen CGC-400 has four chambers per boot and five massage modes to personalise the experience.
How do I use the Celligen CGC-400 boots?
Put on the boots, connect the detachable controllers securely and select your preferred mode, pressure and session time. Begin with a gentle setting and increase only if comfortable. The controllers must remain physically connected to the boots during use.
What pressure settings are available?
The CGC-400 offers seven pressure levels: 30, 50, 80, 120, 160, 200 and 240 mmHg. Lower settings feel gentler, while higher settings deliver firmer compression. Higher pressure does not necessarily mean better recovery—choose a comfortable level.
How long should a compression session last?
The CGC-400 offers 15, 30 and 45-minute sessions. If you are new to compression boots, start with a shorter session at a lower pressure and adjust gradually according to comfort.
When should I use compression boots, and can I use them every day?
Compression boots can be incorporated into a routine after training, following time spent on your feet or when you want to relax. Some people use them daily, but frequency should be guided by comfort, the product instructions and any relevant medical advice.
What makes the Celligen CGC-400 different?
The CGC-400 combines four-chamber full-leg compression, five massage modes, seven pressure levels, three session lengths and rechargeable detachable controllers. A carry bag is included for convenient storage and transport. Unlike fully wireless boot systems, its controllers remain connected during operation.
Are compression boots suitable for everyone?
No. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant or have circulatory or cardiovascular problems, abnormal blood pressure, significant swelling, an implanted medical device, skin injuries or another condition that may make compression unsuitable. Stop immediately if you experience pain, numbness, dizziness or unusual discomfort. Read the user manual before use. The CGC-400 is a wellness product, not a substitute for medical care.
How do I clean and store the boots?
Switch off the system before cleaning. Wipe the boots with a clean, damp cloth and allow them to dry completely; do not machine wash. Keep liquids away from electrical components, avoid sharp objects and store the system in a dry place using the supplied carry bag. Do not use the boots while charging.
