Using Your Device

Putting On Your Device

  • Find a comfortable position sitting down, with your legs either at a 90-degree angle or fully extended. 
  • Unbuckle the straps and extend the garment. 
  • To put the RecoveryTherm Hot & Cold Vibration Knee on, place the garment’s center open circle on your knee cap. The blue fans should be facing outwards, and the control panel should be resting on your thigh. Ensure that nothing is blocking the airflow to the blue fans. 
  • Secure the RecoveryTherm Hot & Cold Vibration Knee by buckling each strap. The straps should provide compression without being uncomfortable or painful. If standing up, readjust the top strap for increased compression. Add the extenders to the end of the straps when using the device for larger muscles. 
  • For additional support, attach the third strap (found inside the pouch in the carrying case). To attach, Velcro one of the sides using the rubber connectors that are to the right and left of the knee cap. Use the third strap in instances where further support is needed, for example, when standing or moving during treatment. The use of the third strap is optional and fully removable 

Begin Your Treatment

  • Insert the battery into the control panel. The Therabody logo should be facing outwards, with the charging port on the bottom. Battery insertion should be seamless and not forced.
  • Press and hold the power button for two seconds. 
  • Select one of three treatment options (cold, hot, or contrast) using the respective mode buttons. 
  • Short press the snowflake button to use the cold treatment only. The blue lights around the Therabody logo will illuminate when the cold setting is on. The vibration will automatically start on low; short press the vibration button to toggle between patterns (low, high, wave, off). The treatment will run for approximately 20 minutes. The LEDs will turn off sequentially as each treatment mode is complete; e.g., the blue lights will turn off after a cooling mode. Once the treatment is complete, the device will turn off. 
  • Short press the fire button to use the hot treatment only. The orange lights around the Therabody logo will illuminate when the hot setting is on. The vibration will automatically start on high; short press the vibration button to toggle between patterns (low, high, wave, off). The treatment will run for approximately 15 minutes. Once the treatment is complete, the device will turn off. 
  • Short press the contrast button to begin contrast therapy treatment. Both the orange and blue lights around the Therabody logo will illuminate when the contrast setting is on; blue indicates cold therapy, and orange indicates hot therapy. The vibration will automatically start on the wave setting; short press the vibration button to toggle between patterns (low, high, wave, off). The device will move from cold to hot for approximately 18 minutes. Once the treatment is complete, the device will turn off. 
  • Vibration therapy can be used without hot, cold, or contrast therapy. Short press the vibration button once the device is turned on. Vibration can be added or customized at any point during your treatment; short press the vibration button to toggle between patterns (low intensity, high intensity, and wave). 
  • Depending on the selected mode, treatment times can vary between 12-18 minutes. 
  • To access the Pro Mode, short press the snowflake button three times. The Pro Mode is a cold treatment (with lower temperatures, reaching 8 degrees C) and a low vibration therapy.
