30 September 2021 This is a review of DOCTOR LIFE LX9max Sequential Air Compression Recovery System. I also discuss the benefits from leg compression devices in general. It seems there are two basic applications for this type of device. The first is vascular assistance. For elderly or those with symptoms of congestive heart failure, CAD, or other vascular issues, leg compression can help to push the blood back to the heart. Many years ago I watched my grandmother manually massage her legs, trying to push the blood back up her legs.It made me think she could have really used one of these devices to ease the pain. The second application is for muscular recovery. This is why I purchased DOCTOR LIFE LX9max Sequential Air Compression Recovery System - I am an active Audax cyclist looking for ways to improve and speed up my recovery time. There were several reasons I decided to purchase the DOCTOR LIFE LX9max Sequential Air Compression Recovery System. I educated myself on the principles of the device, read reviews, studied specifications, performed a quantitative value analysis, and read many Amazon reviews. Conclusion: I decided the DOCTOR LIFE LX9max Sequential Air Compression Recovery System was best for me. I purposely waited about 30 days to write my review, as I wanted it to be genuine and needed to convince myself that it was a smart purchase. The short version of my review is that the DOCTOR LIFE LX9max Sequential Air Compression Recovery System is the best machine on the market for muscular recovery. The quality, performance, value, after sales service, and results are all 5 stars! I didnt want to buy a leg compression machine just because someone paid a famous athlete a lot of money to promote their device. Instead, I wanted to pick a device that was made and designed by the people selling it. DOCTOR LIFE (DAESUNG MAREF CO.,LTD - ROK) is one of, if not the oldest designers and manufacturers of this type of device. This is a very important selling feature - if a buyer purchases from a local reseller, who is supplied by an importer, who then purchases from an agent in a free trade zone via lowest cost bid producer from a factory located in a different region - the complexities and chances for unresolved difficulty multiply exponentially. Especially if there is a problem or warranty issue - how would one resolve issues if the people responsible are insulated by layers of supply chain, distance, and perhaps as many as 4-5 languages between them. That is not the case with DAESUNG MAREF CO.,LTD - they make, sell, and service the DOCTOR LIFE LX9max Sequential Air Compression Recovery System. The importance of this point was confirmed even prior to receiving my LX9max. I am a US expat living in Thailand. There is a very complicated process involved in clearing these types of goods from Thai customs. Recently, I had no choice but to forfeit other goods (auto parts) due to a lack of support from the supplier in providing timely and accurate customs information. DOCTOR LIFE worked with me every step of the way to ensure that I got my LX9max cleared in the fastest and best way. Without Jason Lee at DOCTOR LIFE (DAESUNG MAREF CO,LTD), this would not have been possible. Have you ever bought a device and found the instructions to be printed on sub-standard paper, displaying what appears to be hieroglyphic picto-gram that ultimately makes no sense? DOCTOR LIFE LX9max Sequential Air Compression Recovery System instruction booklet is in English as a first language and is clear and logical. DOCTOR LIFE is really good about communication and makes me feel good about the future when I order accessories or replacement parts. I specifically selected the DOCTOR LIFE LX9max Sequential Air Compression Recovery System model because of the superior specifications, build quality, ease of assembly, ergonomic and simple control functions that allow the user to modify the therapy on demand. Although the LX9max has the capacity of 250 hPa, I typically operated on mode B, 35 minute cycle time, 180 hPa (max.). This cycle really helps speed my recovery time and reduces muscle cramps. The LX9max has 4 air bladders on each leg. I think some of the other manufacturers get carried away with the marketing concept of more is better. At least for my use (muscular recovery and not vascular assist), having more than 4 air bladders is not an advantage. It just means more hoses and more connections for leaks and potential damage. For muscular recovery, I recommend the LX9max because it has 4 air bladders and not more. You shouldnt think more bladders means a better device. Very straightforward design and sure-fit-no-leak hose to unit connection. What about fit? Fit is critical to properly perform leg compression. I am a big guy - 187 cm tall and weigh 112 kg. I purchased the XXL size, along with the zipper extenders. It turned out XXL sizing is accurate to actual size, and I therefore did not need the zipper extenders and was very hap...
