Maximum pressure 180 mmHg vs. 240 mmHg – what do you really need?
Magdalena Bürk
You might be wondering what maximum pressure is really necessary for your recovery with Reboots:
Are 180 mmHg, as offered by our mobile devices (Reboots Go X Mini, Go X Lite, Go X), sufficient, or should you opt for 240 mmHg?
Since pressure is a crucial factor for the effectiveness of the Reboots compression massage, this question understandably often causes uncertainty.
In this article, you'll learn how much compression pressure your body actually needs, which effects are fully achieved in the range of 60–180 mmHg – and in which rare cases 240 mmHg can be beneficial. This way, you can easily find out which Reboots solution best suits your needs.
Answer
Your mobile Reboots devices offer you up to 180 mmHg, while the stationary models even reach 240 mmHg.
This quickly raises the question:
“Are 180 mmHg enough for effective recovery?”
The short answer:
👉 Yes – for the vast majority of users, 180 mmHg is completely sufficient.
Why?
- The most effective range for your Reboots compression massage is 60–180 mmHg.
- All important effects like decongestion, improved circulation, and post-sport recovery are fully achieved within this pressure spectrum.
When is 240 mmHg useful?
Only in special cases – such as very high muscle mass, very intense training, or individual needs that require stronger compression.
For 95% of our Reboots customers, however:
👉 180 mmHg already offers full performance.
